How is it harmful, though.
Encouraging their delusion denies them the help they need. They feel like they don't belong. Maybe they think their body is not really theirs. It's not respectful to say they're right. Instead we should tell them it's okay to be different. That being non-typical doesn't make them something else, it just means the stereotypes are wrong. The advocates let them think that the problem is with them when it's really with the image they compare themselves to and the tools they use to analyze it.
Like you and everyone else actually care about other people's body disphoria. You don't understand, or like it, so you feel the need to suppress it.
