I'm very familiar with gender dysphoria research, and I'm also familiar with the endless stream of vitriol (but no actual scientific refutation as far as I have seen) against people like Blanchard, Bailey, Lawrence et al. as soon as they say something that doesn't fit the political objectives of the activists.
My interest isn't with the politics, it's with the science, which does seem like it's well within the scope of Hacker News.
