The dictionary is outright saying the trannies' argument is "because I say so."

As for medical treatment, research has shown transitioning isn't that effective. It causes self-harm just as often. Enormous numbers of transitioned trannies decide they don't want to survive, and the massive increase in the number of trannies has increased the number of suicides. If treatment was limited to extreme cases under strict medical standards like chemotherapy is, it would be a different situation, but instead anyone can order hormones off the internet.
