Forcing a person who is past the age of legal responsibility to take massive doses of sex/gender hormones against their will is not the same as giving kids ritalin, and it is mildly offensive to say so.

Maybe, but that's not what I said. What I did was ask the question whether a generation from now we might say that. It's perfectly ok to think that no, we will always think it's ok. It's useful to wonder about it. And I do believe it's useful to question things like this and ask whether we might be doing a similar thing.

You never know.
