"gender affirming care is supported by science as providing the best life outcomes for people with gender dysphoria"

"You're a monster, the real solution is clearly my idea because it matches my view of culture and reality regardless of what science and studies say"

And of course I'm the one "making this political"

I applaud your logic and reason sir.

PS shock therapy is now scientifically supported as a treatment for treatment resistant depression with excellent short and long term prognosis, so in the end you got one thing right: when used as prescribed by medical professionals gender affirming care and shock therapy are effective treatments for gender dysphoria and depression respectively. You didn't intend to be right, but I suppose that's the only way you end up on the correct side of any discussion.

PPS I missed the best irony in your comment. Christians used shock therapy as a dubious scientifically unsound treatment to stop gays from being who they are and go back to accepting their "normal" sexuality. And you're trying to advocate for dubious scientifically unsound treatments to stop trans people from being who they are and go back to accepting their "normal" gender identity. Truly a gift of a comment!!
