the difference with that is there are medications out there already for people with schizophrenia that help reduce the symptoms and severity of the illness. there's no medication that helps reduce the symptoms of gender dysphoria. for the sake of your argument lets say none of the medications help this person at all and they still want their breasts reduced.
i honestly don't see an issue why they should not be allowed to get breast surgery, as people get breast reduction surgery all the time and alter their bodies for much less (wanting to look prettier) than doing it because it actually does something important like helping their mental state.

Catering to a mental illness is the opposite of helping someone's mental state. It's aiding their illness and victimizing them.

again, until there is a medication or surgery that permanently cures gender dysphoria, allowing them to transition is the only current cure we have.

Again, catering to a delusion isn't a cure but quite the opposite. It's augmentation of their delusions.
