That's mostly a very good article, but it seems to ignore the situation where the parents are unsupportive of their own trans children, or subscribe to those ideologies that the author acknowledges does exist.
'Shared decision making' is all very well when the child knows what they need, the doctor claims they're 'not an expert on trans people' so they can't offer a bridging prescription, the parents think it's against their religion to acknowledge the existence of trans people in anywhere way besides a mental disorder that should not be given any credence. And even if they can find a decent doctor, there's a 5 year waiting list - 5 years where they are given no treatment and continue to experience the wrong puberty, dysphoria, etc.
I had a similar thing, and I heard about some girls who looked like boys until puberty, then their penises retracted and became vaginas and they grew up as girls from then, and I hoped that would happen to me. So cis, lol

I'm partial to both Kim Stanley Robinson's Blue Mars, which does have advanced medicine and society, and Avatar The Last Airbender, where I imagine waterbending healing might have some kind of advanced medicinal power.
Piracy already isn't theft. At worst, it's unlicensed copying. Conflating copying, where the original is not lost, to theft, where it is, should never have been done and was only ployed by the big companies to make it sound worse than it is.
Necessary for what? The word necessary implies a goal. Evil also implies a religious type objective morality. I don't think though, that for the goal of living a happy life, any harm is theoretically necessary.
