such as like this:

The concept of gender identity is said to be real as an experience, (like how theists claim to see god [a claim basically]), but scientifically under-defined, weakly grounded biologically, and sometimes treated as more fixed or explanatory than current evidence justifies.

    Something you haven’t mentioned is talking about the way medical treatment is practiced, access to gender affirming care, etc.

    As you notice from your votes at -9, this is a radioactive topic.

    Only if you support free access to medical transition, and promotion of self chosen identities, you might escape accusations of transphobia. Even asking for the scientific foundations this rests on, can get you in trouble quickly.

    Mentioning what detransitioners say is risky as well. They are worth listening to.

    There are real issues surrounding this topic, but they are hard to address because of the stark political divide. Trans issues are used as a political shibboleth and not as a psychological-medical issue.
