I did my best with the resources I had to come up with something more concrete than asserting that it is or isn’t a problem without anything to back it up. I may have made some errors, but the fact remains that there was a significant amount of recent information about the growing awareness of hormonal medication side effects.
I bet it doesn’t feel statistically insignificant when it is happening to you and people won’t believe you due to the perceived rarity of side effects.
And, finally returning to where we started, all of this is simply to say that I don’t think we should be imposing hormone meds as a punishment for anything.
Oh spare me, I have a half dozen conditions ranging from annoying to life threatening with less chances of happening than your 0.05%. I know exactly what it's like to be "statistically insignificant". Changes nothing. You treat the majority. Not the minority. And when a side effect causes a a 0.05% increase? Yeah, don't worry about it. I mean, don't suddenly not be a doctor and not treat those affected, but given how 99.95% of the population are aided by it and don't suffer the side effect, then maybe still use it? Like, what the actual fuck. I just don't get why you came into this spouting off all this shit you didn't understand. Like, how do you think that "there was a significant amount of recent information" about this issue? Cos you sure didn't show it. And we've known about it for quite a while, a search on scholar.google shows that. All it means is it that drs should be aware that we may need to treat depression for a really small cohort of our contraceptive patients. Thats it. But go on, sy something dumb again...
And don't come at me with this "I did my best with my resources" malarkey. I literally used the resources you said you used to prove you wrong. You tried to be smart. You got caught out. Take the L and walk it off.
And given you don't have any idea how they work or with what incidence their side effects affect the general population, I'll kindly ignore your opinion on the matter in the final paragraph. Especially cos I'm not a mad fan of it too, but because you goddamn anti science activists wanna make a thing out of it for completely incorrect reasons, here I am...
I see we’ve reached the end of this conversation. Hope your day gets better.
Ahhh, so you just give up when proven wrong. Strong move. Bet it's served you well in life.
And my day is fine. Been drinking beers and smoking weed for 5hrs now cos I have literally nothing to do tomorrow but sleep til my new years party tomorrow. 8ts cute that you think you've bothered me though. I mean, come on, I've had more intelligent convos with my mates 3yo...
Well, maybe try some chemical castration? It's not that serious, as I have heard
Not sure what your point is since I know a few people who the treatment has literally saved their lives. I'd happily see them do it again, and I know they would do it again too. So, yeah, I'd 100% do it if the need arose. I literally take medications with way more side effects and long term health risks than chemical castration every day of my life right now. Which I'm okay with, cos I'm alive cos of them. So, yeah, might wanna try another angle of attack for this "genius" reply of yours.
And like I initially said, this could be a viable alternative in this very specific circumstance. That circumstance being "not killing someone who could be innocent". But everyone seems to have latched onto "drugs bad" and they a) don't understand how relatively benign the drugs are, and b) seem to be forgetting that I was literally saying it might actually be okay for us to do it to convicted rapists instead of executing them.
