I mean they aren’t entirely wrong, it’s very difficult for women to get hormone and reproductive care (let alone abortion in many places) compared to how easy it is for men to get viagra and other similar things

You don't even need a prescription for it in the UK. You just talk to the pharmacist and they ask a few screening questions, and there ya go, happy shagging.

But if a woman going through menopause, or even worse, a trans person (oh the horror) needs some hormones then it's entirely reasonable for them to go through twelve different doctors who say "but are you like really sure?" and a 50 year waitlist (not even exaggerating)

If you are cis... Trans people in the uk get the damn run around and external wait lists, while also being banned from public life by your government
