Again, yes, and I don't find the doctors any more culpable than the therapists. It's a service, and surgeons and doctors who do transitions shouldn't be counseling their patient. They're getting paid to chop off the dick not life coaching.

I don't think this is true. If I wanted the freedom to eat the hearts of my enemies I'm pretty sure you'd oppose that freedom. Or, for real life examples, do you oppose the desires of NAMBLA to molest children? Isn't that a restriction on NAMBLA's freedom?
We all oppose some forms of "freedom" and support others.
Ugh, annoying that we have to do this one. I mean come on.
No, you may not kill and eat someone because they have the freedom to be not killed and eaten. This is where the constitutional government comes in. We can have government sponsored cages where we lock away those who want to kill and eat hearts.
No, NAMBLA may not molest children. Because the children have the freedom to not be molested. I actually support the right of self identified pedophiles to assemble and have some kind of therapy or support group, though. It would be better if we could just ship them off to an island but that would be a violation of their freedom.
I consider this a form of lying to pretend like you think the term "freedom" encompasses killing and molesting. don't be so dishonest.
