Technically, they are controversial. There are people who support your right to live and there are people who dont support it
If half of humans thought water was dangerous, drinking water would be a controversial topic
Its not black and white like that. There are people who support trans people but are concerned about the medicine and psychology, considering how young and mistake prone those fields are. Keep in mind there was a time where labotomies were defended in a similar way.
I don’t think taking HRT and getting a literal lobotomy are equal…
Probably not 1:1 but the point is that its risky when medicine moves too quickly, and human ego has proven to be an extremely potent force. I use extreme examples to make a point.
Mainly what concerns me right now is that people who have concerns or questions about the medicine or science are routinely harassed and/or banned from trans communities. That, and the amount of faith the general public has in our understanding of psychology.

Even this attitude of educating others, like every trans person is suddenly an expert in psychology or something. The way you frame it furthers the exclusivity of the group, which is odd to me because I would think trans people would want more people in their communities.
I’m not interested in going over specific instances with you, sorry. If thats what you need then you win the argument.

because the science is there and they keep dringing up the one study that has been wildly discredited.
elaborate?
What science? Which field? I’m not talking about disagreeing over whether gender dysphoria exists, I know it does. The discussion to be had is ehat can we do to fix and/or prevent it from happening. Its very hard to have these conversations in trans spaces though.

There are also people who arent on either extreme, but that doesnt really matter in the context of deciding if a subject is controversial or not
