Except this is where "equality feels like oppression" comes in as a core truth. You've now recast yourself as the leftist side of the argument to seek "the greater good" for some abstract ultimately religions beliefs.
"Gender affirming" care IS better for the selfishly motivated people who push hardest for it, and in a zero sum game any gain by anybody other than them is a loss, a loss is opposition, opposition begats conflict and conflict justifies force.
You advocating for "more winners" is advocating for their loss. That's all that matters. You are trying to take away from one group to give to another in the name of fairness, and that designates you as an Adversary.
This is clown world of course, so you are harming demonic anti-human pedophiles to benefit innocent children, but the structure of the conflict remains the same.
Just as if my whole community was made up of rapists, the moral imperative would not be "the greatest good" and sacrificing my family, it would be painting the streets with their entrails. Very selfishly.
If I could sum up. If the only difference between you and your enemy is who ACTUALLY deserves the treatment under discussion, the treatment isn't actually inhumane. Which fine, but it places you in the same moral category as them. It's not enough.
It's the same way that you can't distinguish Hitler quotes from BLM ones, the framework is identical, leftist are literally one binary switch away from agreeing with the Holocaust, and that switch is "the jews didn't ACTUALLY do that, but white people DO"
Tl;Dr no bad tactics only bad targets doesn't work as a moral framework
