This is also the reason they need to go back to the old ways trans were allowed on hormones. Informed consent is a bad choice and has allowed garbage like tom to get hormones easily.The people who today decry the state of the mental healthcare system, tend to be the very same kind of people who decried the psychiatric system in the 70ies and 80ies.
Well congrats faggots, you got what you wanted!
The state facilities and asylums all got closed down, and the patients released into communities so they can receive “community care”.
And what’s the result? A lot of schizos roaming about and cries of: “Oh noes! This isn’t working! We need more funding and state hospitals!”
Then maybe you shouldn’t have bitched about them when they were there?
Another issue entirely is, that psychiatric care isn’t something that can be solved just by throwing money at it.
There is a constitutional right to say and believe crazy shit. And of course a constitutional right to decline treatment (under most circumstances) and not take your meds.
Unless you want an even scarier alternative to the current system: Where the state can totally take away the rights of anyone deemed mentally ill, lock them up indefinitely and force medication on them.
Anybody want to take bets on Tommy coming out of the loony bin with a brand new boy/girlfriend?
Back when i got diagnosed it too you years of psychotherapy before you would ever see HRT. And if even the slightest sign of schizophrenia was spotted you did not get hormones you got put on psych medication.
They were very strict about that part of it. Tom and many others would have never even seen the first pill. That includes any that said they were gay and then decided they wanted hormones Nope. If you did not fight it from early childhood up the you had no chance and even if you did it was not very likely to happen either.
And for the few that did if family found out and threatened the doctor none of the doctors around would dare to help you.
We had to hunt them on the street like tom does weed.
