The history of hormonal BC drugs has a certain parallel. Many women were permanently altered as a result. It was a "choice" but in many cases the risk information was not provided - or mis-presented.

The history of hormonal BC drugs has a certain parallel. Many women were permanently altered as a result. It was a "choice" but in many cases the risk information was not provided - or mis-presented.

We see a similar case with the vaccines. Even without mandates, many people flocked to the vaccine because it was sold as safe, effective and of great benefit (immunity to what was pitched as the scariest disease since creation). Still the true risk information is being suppressed. And may people are making the choice without being well informed of the risks and risk/benefit tradeoff.
I am not sure a lot of people even recognize that any of their issues are related to hormonal birth control. I think it has some subtle mental effects that aren't acknowledged.
That may be true. I was thinking about the very overt, not subtle effects which are clearly hormonal due to permanent alteration of hormones. My wife is one of those victims. She had no regular cycle after, and was unable to ovulate without introducing more hormone therapy (it took several years of trying different ones before it worked). She's had a plethora of endocrinological issues throughout her life as a direct result. Again nothing subtle.
It is becoming quite clear that many women are misdiagnosed as type II diabetic who are in fact insulin intolerant which is a malfunctioning endocrine system. It seems equally clear hormonal treatments messing with the endocrine system are likely factors. I've found some research that has shown connections, but this line of inquiry is unpopular. kind of a trend in medicine - explaining why things happen seems less popular than figuring out what drug we can use to treat the symptoms.
Still the hormone based BC is pushed hard by "the science". Google "side effects" and you'll find lot's of "advice" that going OFF birth control pills can be dangerous, and serious understatement of the risks of using it.
Gosh if I were prone to believe in vast organized conspiracies, I'd think this too was part of the culling of the human race conspiracy ;-). Of course I am not one of those "kooks". I know such levels of organization are unlikely from such a disorganized and chaotic race (humans).
Interesting post by another stacker recently, not sure it might have been @igorchudov that was about how women on the pill are attracted to lower testosterone, lessasculine men, and the pill also seems to increase incidence of lesbianism

They give hormonal birth control if you just don’t like your period! It’s really bad.
