So a bunch of anti-trans hate groups sent a citizen's petition to the FDA demanding regulatory action around "cross-sex" use of estrogen. Although the language is somewhere heated and while we have no indications as to the FDA's intent with respect to this petition, I have no reason not to believe the authors of this article when they describe its potential impact if adopted: https://theneedlenews.com/anti-trans-hate-groups-petitioning-fda-for-registry-of-trans-women-crackdown-on-transition-newly-revealed-document-shows/

The short version: the creation of a registry of all trans women in the US, a federal regulatory requirement for a significant set of gatekeeping steps before estrogen can be prescribed, and authorization to seize any estrogen used without that process having been followed.

The original document can be read here: https://www.regulations.gov/document/FDA-2025-P-7321-0001

They apparently did not see the need to go after trans men here.

In the short term, this is not as dangerous as an outright ban on estrogen. If implemented and then combined with other methods of suppressing trans people, it might be far more destructive in the long term.
