I cannot pretend as if I can understand how the American legal system works, but the claims made on this website (and reddit post that I first saw this from) are very concerning. For those who don't like clicking links, the main claims are:

FDA removed warnings from Estrogen supplements and decided the risks to them were overblown
About a month later a hate group (led by someone who did some shoddy research) submitted a petition to:
Add the warnings back for trans women
Force trans women accessing Estrogen to register on a list usually used for patients accessing opiods and such
Move away from informed consent to mandatory psychiatric gatekeeping

Besides this there are other aspects to the petition. It is open to public commenting.
