>I asked a friend who just left med school. He laughed and said yes there's lots of evidence supporting this in his profession alone.

I just asked a friend who is a professor of medicine. She laughed and said no there's no evidence supporting this in her profession alone.

>He suggested you pick up a copy of "Principles of Transgender Medicine and Surgery" ISBN 1138857009 which was a required for one of his courses.

A book that covers transgender care for mentally ill men doesn't magically make them female. They are still human males, and will always be human males.

>It has hundreds of references by MDs,PHDs and the like on the medical side alone.

None of the MDs disagree with the fact that "gender affirming care" is for human males or females, and their biology is most definitely male or female. The grievance studies PhDs are not experts in science.

>He did agree that quantity is not quality and recommended to use "Directory of Open Access Journals" to access a large amount of peer reviewed research that does establish the science.

There are none that establish "the science", there is no science backing any of it. Again, grievance studies papers are not science.

>You should contact everyone referenced in the book/research papers and let them know they're incorrect

"You should contact Hitler and Goebbels and let them know they're incorrect about the Jews."

>Having an open mind to learn more information is not a weakness

I agree.

>I work in data science adjacent and it's fascinating to see new information being uncovered all the time that does fill in missing information about everything we know - or don't know.

Data science is not biology. There is no missing information. Humans are mammals, humans are sexually dimorphic and produce two gametes. The earth is round, not flat.
