Deplorable is is deplorable does, man. What am I supposed to tell people
who think violent crime "is way up" when it's been going down for 50
years and that children are regularly getting sex changes, or whatever
nonsense some significant fraction of citizens choose to believe today.

Unfortunately, in the UK, many politicians have been convinced that the
last of your statements is actually true and the way to get votes is to
stop them.  It is now illegal for UK doctors to prescribe or supply the
necessary medicines and the suicide rate is rising.

This is rather like making dental treatment for children illegal in the
belief that it will stop them getting toothache.
