I once read a comparison of the trans social contagion and its accompanying "treatments" with Thalidomide and lobotomies and other medical wonders, and I couldn't disagree with the premise.

The F→M trans movement has gone tits-up.
I thought thalidomide was given in the 60’s for morning sickness? And caused severe birth defects?
It was.
It did.
But it was approved by "experts" so, you know, all good etc.
Wait, you;re not a doctor, how do you know thalidomide is harming kids?
I am a DES daughter. Also approved by “experts”
Frances Oldham Kelsey of the FDA spared the US the worst of that.
She got suspicious about it and didn't approve it for sale. She did this despite intense lobbying from a US pharmaceutical corporation.
(It wasn't approved in the DDR either.)
Thalidomide is still in use under other names, but now it comes with the appropriate warnings.
