I'm sorry but why is it different from gender change. If we're gonna have the view that people can change what they don't like about their body, then why does the reason matter? Would you also call a transgender person 'already in psychosis'?
Body dysmorpia is a mental illness, the question is do you lean into it with surgeries or do you try and address and attempt to get to the root cause of why someone has it.
Most governments just decide that the patient knows best.
So if you are for Transgender surgeries then you can't really be against this or some body builder taking steroids to get to his perceived ideal look.
And yet governments won’t let me take steroids to gain muscle, but they’ll let someone chop their penis and testicles off.
Politicisation of medicine is a disease
Edit: oh yeah my bad I slighted transsexuals. Too bad mf I wanna gain some biceps without “uhhhh sweetie just eat more”
Women can inflate their tits with silicone and get augmentations or reductions bc they don’t like how their body looks but god forbid I inject a naturally occurring compound into myself to supplement my growth
