    because their view is simply (if translated into the correct parlance): “People should not receive hormone replacement therapy that is contrary to the gender they were assigned at birth”.

    Anecdotally, I have never once heard anyone express this opinion. It’s always been hard no on any form of gender affirming care, hrt is evil, that sort of thing.

    While this is CLEARLY their actual beliefs, it’s not their stated view.

    Similar to “the only moral abortion is my abortion” hypocrisy.

      There is no connection to them between gender affirming care and male HRT. I have yet to see anyone conceded that any ground at all on gender affirming care like hrt. They have a medical condition that needs treatment. It is not gender affirming care to them even if it is in reality. The rejection of reality allows this to be their actual beliefs.
