Every time I see the outrage it just baffles me. Taking Stephanie and Abigail Thorn at Philosophy Tube as examples of creators that I've watched come out and transition, and been familiar with their work before and after, it is clear to me that they as individuals are far more whole than they were before. It is clearly evident in both of their apparent mental health, creativity, and productivity. I don't understand how you can look at that and see anything other than someone becoming healthier by means of medical care, same as a person receiving physical therapy for a sports injury, or a drug to treat their depression. Worst case, you don't necessarily need to understand the how the medical therapy works, or the condition that caused the person to suffer, but you can't deny the result of a happier, healthier person, but yet transphobic people do.

Your argument implies that the haters here are capable of reasoned logic. The only time I've "won" an argument with people like that is by being a bigger asshole than they are.
