In that case, lets allow anorexics to keep taking emetics until they reach their ideal body shape, with no wellbeing checks or interventions at all.

After all, they're adults and it's their body.

But the one is a life risk continuing to be that way whilst the other isn't.

Imo I don't see them as the same level of risk.

I think there's more similarities than people realise. After all Body Dysphoria & Gender Dysphoria have alot of the same issues.
