    You left off “and their assigned sex”. That bit is important.

    Like having breasts, feeling male, and being assigned male at birth?

    You have no idea what you’re paraphrasing.

    Just stop. You’re wrong.

      Says the person claiming that treating endocrine disorders is gender affirming care…

      You’re objectively wrong. Your own sources confirm it, but you keep trying to extrapolate it to mean something it doesn’t.

      Gender affirming care is not an umbrella term. For example, I’m not on testosterone because my low T makes me feel like a woman. I’m on it because my low T causes extreme fatigue. It has nothing to do with my gender identity.

      I wouldn’t get my gynecomastia fixed because it makes me feel like less of a man. I’d get it fixed because it raises my risk of breast cancer.

      The reason for the treatment is crucial to whether it’s gender affirming or not.
