I don't think you read my comment very carefully. I said I have great sympathy for those with gender dysphoria. I will always treat them kindly and politely, and have no trouble with anyone earning a living.

If that were all that is being demanded, you and I would not be having this conversation, for I would never have been drawn into these threads to begin with.

The spiritual cancer is the direct rejection of observed reality to accord with a quasi-religious belief structure. Male and female sex is a directly and intuitively understood classification of biological life backed by literally thousands of years of scientific inquiry. It is one of the fixed elements of the physical world in which we exist. We don't control it, and we never have. Sex is not and never was a human construction. We may describe it, but we did not create it, and we do not have the power to alter it.

The cancer is the arrogance to think that because our minds can conceive of a thing called gender - a set of behaviors we commonly associate with each sex, but which changes given cultural and environmental demands - that this conception of gender should be superior to sex, and it is mandatory that if someone wishes to cross their gender, that should be treated as superior to their natural sexual existence, up to and including medical interventions which cause physical harm to their body. Individuals (not all transgenders, but more than I'm comfortable with, for their sakes) are willing to go so far as to medically counter the natural progression of their physical form. When you counter a natural biological growth pattern, that is damage, because it's not programmed to work that way. Doctors of all people should know that we in truth understand so very little about how our bodies function in the first place. The fact that our bodies do what they do is insanely complex, and even left to their own devices, things far too often go wrong. To take such a delicately-balanced machine and make it more difficult for it to function?

That's the insanity. I describe it as cancerous, because cancer is rapid growth of non-healthy cells at the expense of healthy tissue. People mandating that doctors physically damage bodies that would - left to their own devices - likely grow naturally and in a healthy way as bodies have done for thousands of years? That strikes me as growing unhealthy cells (of society, if we look at it as a spiritual construct) at the expense of the naturally programmed healthy ones.

That's the cancer.
