The nuance you're ignoring is they are deliberately harming their bodies with T/E. The "benefits" of their drugs are literally the harmful side effects. Gynecomastia, vaginal atrophy, removal of healthy organs, etc are all the goals of transition. In the case of certain psychiatric drugs, negative side effects are just that, side effects, and are not the goal the medicine in question is intended to produce. In the case of troons, the organ damage is literally the goal.I mean some people need to take psychiatric drugs that can do permanent organ damage in order to function. You just want to make as certain as possible someone actually has those conditions before prescribing those drugs.
Gender Dysphoria is about the same way. Not exactly a popular opinion here, I know.
Either way, not all that relevant to discussion of the pooner mass shooter who possibility/probably never took T.
They are not the same and should not be compared.
