Someone with a deformity thinks their own body is wrong. That is completely internal. How did society tell them that deformity is wrong?
If they genuinely think their body is wrong in relation to their thoughts, society has nothing to do with that discrepancy. They have a man’s body (for instance), but they feel they should have a woman’s body. That was exactly my point. Thinking this is the same thing as a nose job feels a bit insulting to their problems.
Again- you said thinking your body is wrong is completely internal. Therefore children should not ever get any form of plastic surgery unless it is life-threatening. This is your reasoning, except you’re only applying it to trans kids.
The distinction is so trivially true that there’s gotta be a huge communication failure here, and I’m sorry for my part in it. But I’ll just go this way, you go that way.

No, I did not say any of those things.
You implied those things based on your reasoning. I even showed you why.
I’m clearly not reaching you in describing this distinction, but that’s my weakness, not yours.
There is no distinction.
Yeah, sorry, that doesn’t become true just by repeating it over and over again.
Nope, it’s true because you haven’t justified it.
