If a physically healthy child with an eating disorder says they're too fat or too thin, what do you say? "No you're not, you're perfect as you are." If a physically healthy child with gender dysphoria says they're the opposite sex, what do you say?

Except you are. By saying "no you're not, you're perfect as you are" you are implying there is nothing wrong and why would you do anything to help if nothing is wrong? You are saying, you aren't trans, aka stop feeling that way, aka get over it.
How am I implying there's nothing wrong? If a kid is suffering from gender dysphoria, there's clearly something wrong, and they evidently feel that way. That doesn't mean you should affirm that their body is 'wrong.' what a horrible thing to affirm.
