I was never full on TRA but I accepted "people can change sex" without question when I was younger, which I still feel shitty about. But once I met real trans people my opinion quickly dropped.

Did you think science is magic and people can literally change their sex?

I can't speak for the person you replied to, but there are definitely people using psuedoscience and misrepresenting facts to make it seem like the scientific community is in agreement that it is literally possible to change sexes. Since most people don't have firsthand experience or knowledge of "transition" and "sex reassignment" they take it as fact because they don't know they're being lied to.
