Waiting for Bel to show me where the OP brought up any issue, real or imaginary, in any coherent sense. Won't hold my breath.
It doesn't seem obscure or difficult to me. If I'm not clear you can just ask a question.
Though other interpretations are possible, the standard view of the Frankenstein myth is that a scientist does something just because he can, but then sees that the consequences are bad. You see it in movies like Jurassic Park. "My god, we've created a monster!" or "We knew that we could, but we didn't think about whether we should."
The OP believes that the recent increase in trans therapy, including both chemical and surgical interventions, is scientific hubris. He thinks that the science is playing God and interfering with nature in ways that people are going to regret.
Obviously if I'm wrong about his opinion I hope he'll correct me. But it seems clear, and he's far from being the only person to think this.
For the record, I am not against people transitioning if they are making sound informed decisions. People should be free to choose.
