I think their opinions represent the majority of the medical profession and it needs to be addressed. Their comments are what they really think of us when they say "We're not saying your symptoms aren't real" after psychogenic attribution. If social media was around in the 1960's they'd be saying the same things about MS, and Parkinson's, etc.
PS: I already made a thread for this sort of thing:

Agree, we need trope lists. And the medical profession is bad, but it is spreading into other organisations too and is quite astounding when you compare the level of trope vs equivalent for e.g. what that would be re: race or gender or age and so on. In its totality this is 'rounding-on' a group. Distasteful to watch at best but really should be concerning others instead of people looking on and justifying it as if it is 'letting off steam' and as if kicking the vulnerable target who isn't the actual cause of the issues is acceptable as a way to do it.
Its not funny or amusing or something light we should all have to get used to as a population that 'some HCPs are just like that' really in today's day and age. When you tell laypersons an example they belittle it by assuming it is skin-deep and just the one example, and then minimise that as if there is some sensitivitity or interpretation rather than hearing it is tip of iceberg indication of how people are actually getting treated.
And all this type of crap gives people like my family, friends, those who know me permission to be horrid because hey it isn't worse than what these people say and they get away with it. So that ends up being the level of sentiment some of us get towards us as all we ever get each day every day forever. It permits noone standing in the way when the viler people of a street go rumour-mongering to get others to say horrible things or think horrible untrue things of people and for everyone to think this is an acceptable 'world' some should live their lives in: that the only contact to get is to be told, hour in hour out tropey untruths and others people's nasty mood issues and anger that is projection. It's like being the world's designated dustbin. They should all be ashamed. Of who and what they are. Because what those things are are only defined by what they do in their actions and the consequences they cause, and this is vile and intended to cause harm. For no good defined reason or excuse. Just picking on a group because they can, a group they know zero about - and certainly don't want to ever learn lest that take their 'toy' away.
How sad and pathetic can you get that you need that as your little outlet. There is nothing more sicko and thicko than that. Maybe I'll rename biopsychosocial/psychosomatics 'sicko thicko-ism' or 'sicko-thicko ideology' or 'sick-thicko misses the days you could lock women up for hysteria to make your job easier saddo ideology'.
That this crap comes out of their own heads. It isn't about us, it's about what's wrong inside them that is coming and oozing out. And they don't seem like people who should have resonsibilities over others. It is the fault of crap bystanders and poor oversight that they still do.
And it brings the good ones into disrepute and I suspect makes for a culture where they can be made to feel they can't be 'normal' and 'decent' without being outcast.
On the other hand I agree with
@Trish 's sentiment that this is a dark, dirty old corner that we shouldn't be having to hurt ourselves with looking at - other minorities don't have to go looking for 'ism' pages just to see how an important profession is likely to be treating them and preventing access.
