RxISK is a website concerned about over prescription of or lack of side effect information about drugs, founded by Dr David Healy of the University of Cardiff.
More than 95% of drug side effects go unreported, and there are serious gaps and delays in getting relevant feedback on effects of pharmaceuticals once they are released to the market. There is a lopsided relationship between vulnerable patients and their doctors who have extraordinary power and knowledge over them.
People can report side effects and issues with drugs to the site and they can also get reports for drugs they have been prescribed. The site has a new category:
This post is an invitation to report on drugs prescribed to transgender people. These include cross-sex hormones – testosterone for women, estrogen and progesterone for men, hormone-blocking agents like Lupron given to children with gender dysphoria to stop the physical changes of puberty, and other drugs like finasteride, spironolactone and birth-control pills prescribed to manage the transition from male to female or female to male.
We welcome reports from users of all ages and genders, but especially young people. This is a controversial subject. RxISK doesn’t have a position on the larger issues.
The page goes on to outline many of the concerns raised about the drugs used in transgender healthcare, including the growing number of detransitioners.

I think this could prove to be a really good resource all round. For those who are concerned about reckless prescribing to gender question youth and adults and yes - including people who will transition anyway but want objective information on the drugs they're being prescribed. The site is well established, completely confidential and is run by a team of medical professionals and academics.
