The farms will "reparent" them.

Sounds like reeducation to me.

Apologies if this is a repost. I feel like people need to see this.

    So, step 1, substantially reduce agricultural migrant labor; step 2, create gulags for the neurodivergent to try to make up the difference? Lovely.

      Nothing like cramming a bunch of mentally unwell people recently off their meds into slave labour camps. That’ll work out real nice.

      My fear exactly.

      Doesn’t this kind of thing always start off “voluntary”?

      I got an ADHD diagnosis and started on adderall a few months ago. I fucking hate these people so much.

      so i guess even if they manage to forcibly detransition me and not just kill me, I have this to look forward to? fuuuuuuck.

        It may be worth trying to get to a state that’ll be likely to try to fight this nonsense if you’re not already in one. I’m sure that’s something you’ve already thought about, but… this just makes it more dire.

        I have to hold out hope that we can protect people to some degree at the state level.

          yeah, I live in Washington state, so I’m covered there. though, I’m not exactly enthused about my life depending on politicians deciding not to capitulate. thankfully, we bucked the trend this election and actually went more left.

            I’m seriously considering leaving the country. It’s a hard path, so I don’t know how doable it would be.
