Again, apply this concept to diabetics. What about diabetics who can't afford to buy all the insulin they need? For example, do you think a poor diabetic should be discouraged from taking expired or improperly stored insulin when their only alternative option is not taking any insulin at all? (example I found in this study)

What I'm getting at here is that hormone therapy is a medical treatment that can and does save lives and improves quality of life - not just for trans people either. And in this current era of transphobic fascism, I think it's kinda fucked up to imply to, say, trans folks in red states that may be banning HRT this sort of "oh well, if you can't get your life-saving medication through the proper channels, you should just go without" idea.

At least, that's how my perspective as a cis dude is interpreting what you're saying in the context of the world right now.
