> It's actually not controversial at all among the people actually impacted by it.

Confirmation bias much?

> a lot of people are transphobic and are offended that trans people are allowed access to gender-affirming medical care.

Again, stats please, ideally by country so we might have a proper discussion.

> Besides, nobody's asking for statistics on how many people are satisfied with surgery to remove cancer, or other "obviously" good surgeries.

Sorry, but that does actually happen, they're called survival statistic, most, if not all health care systems record them. People who survive cancer are generally happy they're alive.

> gender-affirming surgeries

There's no such thing as "gender-affirming surgeries", they're called sex changes. Gender is a role unlike biological sex.
