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?

And then they go to their room, continuing to be tormented by dysphoria, hate their body, cry themselves to sleep and never talk to you about it again because you did absolutely nothing to help them. You can't just say, get over it and feel better. Lol

Nobody is saying to just get over it. Just because a parent doesn't blindly accept that their son is actually their daughter (or vice versa) doesn't mean they'll do "absolutely nothing" to help.

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.

Calling them "perfect" is literally saying nothing is wrong, lol. That's the definition. Also, what is the treatment for gender dysphoria? On one hand, transition, other hand, therapy? To make you stop feeling that way? Aka get over it. Why is it horrible to affirm that?

They're bodies are perfect, healthy, as they are. Gender dysphoria is in the mind. I've been managing mine without testosterone since my transition failed to alliviate it, so I know it's possible to get better without hrt and surgeries.
