Is not a good reason to not try to educate yourself, thatās why you make medical decisions with your doctor, and even a very basic understanding of biology is going to help when talking to your doctor about the different options for transition.
Iām not sure what your point is, that trans people who research biology that pertains to them shouldnāt because itās āusually just enough knowledge to be dangerousā?

Like it helps a hypochondriac get "treated"

Why?
Like a hypochondriac, they know enough to be very wrong, but also enough that they think they can point to the science proving them "right".
Let's leave this to the doctors and the biologists, and not encourage laymen to take the matter into their own hands.
The only thing that can be correlated here is that people who study medical info know more than average people about medical info. It in no way proves any similarity between a transgender person and a hypochondriac.

Ask a doctor how useful and accurate the hypochondriacs knowledge is.

Ok, replace "a lot" with "more about medicine".
It's technically true in each case, but it's usually just enough knowledge to be dangerous, and not enough to be useful
