\textbf{No.} While this guide is not interested in playing whackamole by responding directly to every instance of misinformation on social media, the prevalence of this chart both online and in doctor-provided resources across languages paired with the sheer volume of harm it has caused denotes need for special exception beyond off-hand reference in Question \ref{11-6}.
\textbf{This chart is categorically false.} Nearly aspect of it is misleading in some capacity, with the one exception being that it is wholly true that estrogen does not cause vocal changes. The time ranges listed for “expected onset” are misleading, and the idea of a time limit for “maximum effect” is so misleading that it borders on criminal.

Please disregard it in its entirety. Now, let us continue after this detour.
