Do not fucking trust the ends of these seemingly reasonable means.
Should we really count on this department and its affiliates to quality control and dole out these substances in a scientifically accurate and medically approved manner during treatment?
What’s stopping these purveyors from issuing you an altered or “experimental” version of these drugs, with or without your knowledge?
What happens if you “unexpectedly” experience a psychotic break or some other severe mental crisis as a result of these drugs and, buried somewhere in the fine print you signed, your rights to discontinue the regimen and seek further treatment independently are suddenly, simply, out of your hands?
Because this man and those around him will gleefully schlep you to a “wellness farm” instead.
You follow?
Just… Jesus Christ just please read the fine fuckin print of any drug “trial” you sign yourself up for.
This was an appalling thing for them to say, let alone for you to try to fathom. No one deserves to be SA’d, so how can there be a metric for being “good enough” for it?
On that line of thinking though, I have to wonder if this statement is some kind of weird projection or coping mechanism. Maybe this person experienced SA and was working through very complex emotions resulting in a warped rationalization that they were “good enough” to be victimized in that way. A twisted attempt at recapturing the power they may have lost with misplaced “pride” in someone wanting to SA them.
I don’t know though, definitely conjecture on my part, but regardless of how they came upon these beliefs, they had no right to project that onto you. Good to hear they’re an ex-friend.
