> the same as in Lupron, which was force-fed to Alan Turing

1) Turing was not force-fed. He chose that treatment over spending a year in prison. https://archive.org/details/alanturingenigma0000hodg_q8b8/pa...

2) Turing was given DES - diethylstilbestrol - a nonsteroidal estrogen medication. It is an agonist of the estrogen receptors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diethylstilbestrol . For a non-Wikipedia source, https://archive.org/details/prof.-alan-turing-decoded-a-biog...

3) Lupron is a brand name for leuprorelin, "in the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue family of medications". It looks nothing like DES and has a very different method of action ("decreasing gonadotropin and therefore decreasing testosterone and estradiol"). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leuprorelin

4) Leuprorelin wasn't discovered until 1973. https://academic.oup.com/jjco/article/43/4/357/976035?login=... . Turing died in 1954. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing .

Since that was outright wrong, I will easily assume everything else you write on the topic is equally wrong.
