It’s the latter, for now. But those medicines aren’t just used for trans people, they are used for all kinds of different illnesses. The fact that they didn’t just strip it out of public healthcare, but private too, is a very bad sign.
It actually does affect people when you can’t get medications and when you are banned from school sports. Suicides skyrocket. People get harassed and stabbed because it emboldens people who would otherwise suppress their urges.
It would be in the same vein as if black people were refused drugs for sickle cell anemia. It puts people in a lower class when they are treated differently than the rest of the population. I know the same fear and hate the people in my state felt towards queer people, because I felt it myself decades before coming out.

Ok so it’s just fear mongering. No human rights are being denied, and no one is having their existence denied.

No one is banned from school sports for being trans gender - they just have to play sports with people of their sex.
What about that stabbing has anything to do with the topic at hand?
