> you're MORE upset because of the gendering interaction, that's wrong.

I strongly disagree.

This isn’t about gender as a social construct. This is about a licensed medical professional causing significant changes to a person’s body without their consent.

Completely irrespective of how an individual perceives their own gender, that perception is a core part of who they are. So yes - I am absolutely more upset about this because of the “gendering interaction”. I would be equally upset if this person saw themselves as asexual or androgynous and was administered sex hormones without their consent.
