    In the video, in the link, he mentioned that birth control pills were used for all sorts of other things besides preventing pregnancy, like helping with acne amongst others. I wish I could quote you what he said, but I refuse to listen to it again, it’s infuriating.

    Anyways, point is, he knows and he believes all it’s uses are wrong.

      Wonderful. /s

      But thanks. And it only makes it more ironic what he’s complaining about, because personally, getting my hormones under control made me way more emotionally stable.

      My condition was absolutely debilitating – I ended up doing 7th grade online at home, and it was miserable. If this idiot wants to take away medication that can keep a kid out of pain, I’d like to be first in line to personally rip his head off.

      I’ll add, the alternatives for 15 y/o me would have been stronger pain medication, or surgery. (…I mean, I switched to testosterone hrt after turning 18, and I guess you could consider that an option since it does stop periods. But somehow I doubt more trans people is what he wants lmao.)
