If liposuction caused people with anorexia to report a better quality of life, as opposed to killing them, it would be the remedy of choice. Transitioning causes people who suffer to report a better quality of life, and despite the hysterics from people screaming about "maiming," the people who are modifying their bodies generally seem to think their situation is an improvement.

Altering your body because something is wrong with your brain isnt the way. I have no problem with adults doing with their bodies what they will, I have no issues with adults transitioning and becoming who they feel they are. But not children. Im a very different person than 12 year old me was, than 12 year old me thought I would be. It would be horrible if I physically changed something to fit who I thought I was or wanted to be at the time, only to grow into something that is entirely different, thereby harming myself forever because of a temporary state of mind in the most difficult period of change in my life.

I agree that the situation with children is very complex. I am not saying that 12 year olds should be transitioning.
But with regard to "altering your body because something is wrong with your brain," that's literally what medication does.
