    Without insurance medical treatment will quickly bankrupt people and for minors they've typically been making doctors who prescribe treatment open to massive liabilities like being sued 30 yrs later if the patient regrets treatment or something similar

      estrogen pills and spiro are cheap without insurance tbh (usually about 40 bucks a month). prescription appointments and surgeries are a different thing.

      its likely there will be a black market for it at least... but yeah.

        My Endo has me get blood tests which are like ~1k so for example if I had to pay out of pocket for that I'd probably end up diy'ing which is rather fucked

          People getting blood clots from doing DIY and fucking up their dosage is definitely part of the point.

      True, the wording of the tweet made it sound like it also has some provision to force people to de-socially transition.
