It’s incredible how quickly the Hippocratic oath went out the window, once it became clear how much money “gender affirming care” could make the pharmaceutical industry

Actually doesn’t make that much money for pharma companies. Testosterone and Estrogen are widely available as generic medication

They need a cocktail. It's not just test or estrogen

Zoladex, supprelin, leuprolide, and triptorelin, the 4 most commonly prescribed hormone blockers collectively made about 3.5 billion dollars for the companies that produce them in 2022 alone. It should be noted that those drugs are primarily prescribed for other things, such as cancer treatment. I was unable to find estimates on what percentage is for blocking puberty, so for the sake of argument let’s say it’s only 5% (a figure I admit I pulled out of my ass), that’s still 175 million a year, just for the blockers. Add to that the fact that every puberty blocker patient will require hormone treatments for the rest of their life, any surgical costs plus lifetime follow up care, and it certainly isn’t chump change. Certainly makes more money than a few years of therapy with a qualified clinical psychiatrist.
