Yeah there is no way Surfshark, NordVPN and other services are compromised and or straight up run by the NSA

let's say that VPNs are compromised and "they" know that you're downloading "illegally"

in order to prosecute, "they" have to prove you're a pirate and show how they know

would they compromise their backDoor to go after a tiny pirate?

Oh also people use VPNs to buy DIY hormones online, what happens when the inevitable US anti trans witch hunt happens?

nothing because it's fucking hormones. It's not meth.

Estrogen, yes. Trans guys are fucked if we've got to order testosterone off the internet.

yeah, and? What are they going to do? Send the DEA after you for growing GMO titties? Gonna hit you with the ATF because you grew hormonally altered facial hair?

They've got shit like fentanyl to be worrying about. I think this is probably the least of concerns, especially considering this is less "drug addiction" and more "illegal prescription drugs" instead. Besides, they don't get drug money from trans people.

It's certainly a potential risk for procurement of the drug legally. But that's already a problem.
