>I’m critical of SRS in its current form because I’ve seen the flawed, painful and irreversible reality of it
Yeah, I'm concerned by that, too. But for some people it's enough. It's like compromising on Bodyline, because brand is out of your reach, for whatever reason.
>it’s always the obvious fetishists who try to turn my concern into “You hate us! You don’t want us to exist! You want us to die!” when that’s not what I mean at all
I completely understand you here. Some people are just insecure simpletons, that take such thing as a personal attack and are very defensive.
Still, the questionable quality of such procedures is not a reason to be against them. Without them, there would be no progress, and some people could seriously harm themselves out of genital dysphoria. Making people aware of flaws in such procedures is good, but stopping people from undergoing them, not so much.
>Is it part of the victimization/humiliation fetish thing that they need to feel like everyone on the planet is always against them?
That's the difference between dysphoric people and fetishists.
The hateful people are there, whether we like it or not.
For dysphoric people, they fear being recognized as trans and facing such people.
Fetishists want to be seen as trans and humiliated because of it, as that turns them on.

It's not much different from being closeted gay in community that is hostile towards such people, or being part of certain religion, in areas where it being discovered could even end in death.
Even being bullied in school, for not being like others.
Being hated for the way you are is not nice.
