Would you support a woman having breast reduction surgery, or would you say “sorry your body doesn’t match your mind; get therapy”?
I suppose you can argue the tissue here is not “healthy” because it’s causing physical distress for the woman, but the same seems to apply to a trans person. Distress is never ‘just’ mental, it has physical effects on the body (and vice versa - pain is ‘just’ mental). The decision of what’s healthy doesn’t seem so simple to me.
