In the short term, this is not as dangerous as an outright ban on estrogen. If implemented and then combined with other methods of suppressing trans people, it might be far more destructive in the long term.
BLUF They’re controlling estrogen similarly to opiates, only for trans women. This is not a law, this is a petition through the FDA that does NOT require congressional approval.
Any trans woman that attempts to get estrogen will be recorded in the same pharmacy database they keep for, again, opiates and they will be denied at every single pharmacy they go to since they all are required to use the same database for controlled substances.
There will be criminal charges for DIY production and usage, so that route has been taken as well.
The petition is still open! Here is the direct link so you can put your comments on it, false names or whatever you’d like since it’s a petition.
Oh no worries! I read through the whole thing and I was like “woah this is super long” so I put a little summary up. I hope I didn’t miss any important bits!

Thank you for the summery, I was eating and planned to edit with quotes ^

Seriously, though, comment on this. There’s not a single one in opposition to this.
Link is dead.
I just clicked on it and it worked properly. I got the petition link from the actual article at the very bottom if it still doesn’t work for you
