How come JK Rowling gets so much hate?

Transitioning and acceptance are proven to be the only effective treatments for gender dysphoria

Okay, let's say that's true. Let's say that's a scientific fact. I don't believe you, but let's say it is.

I could even agree with you on that.

But my position on trans people wouldn't change. Even if I 100% agree with you about the "science." That proves that this isn't a disagreement about the science.

For example, let's say "Science" proved that the "only effective treatment for child molestors is the ability to have sex with children." Okay, cool. I might even agree, that's the only effective treatment. But too bad, I'm not giving it to them. I could still support locking them in prison, even if I fully agree with the scientists about "treatment efficacy."

That's what you're not understanding here. I can agree with you about everything doctors say. Cool. That doesn't obligate me in any way to agree with you about "how should we as a society handle this?**

If trans people want to hold society hostage by threatening suicide if we don't play into their delusion, and the science says they're being compelled to do that, I'm still not giving into that.
