I'm not placated by your response here. Whether or not there is good treatment for gender dysphoria, which you seem to think is the key issue, is beside the point. Many trans people don't even want medical treatment, they want the freedom to perform their gender in whatever way makes them feel comfortable (more or less the same way that you want the freedom to perform your sexual orientation in whatever way you feel comfortable).
Trans rights is not about a specific interpretation of the experience of being trans and thus it isn't about hormones or surgery. It is about trying to encourage the world to be open to a broader set of gender expressions and more freedom for people to live out the life that they want.
There are some tough issues here, yes. But the analogy to the gay rights movement is pretty straightforward.
