So yes or no.

Is gender dysphoria a real condition in pre pubescent children?

It can be in some and it isn't in others. You'd only know for sure when their pre-frontal cortex has fully formed.

It can be in some.

With this as a baseline, what should be done for those children with gender dysphoria?

Yet, I find myself taking the the cautious approach. Teens who exhibit gender dysphoria should, indeed, must seek professional counselling and need the support of their parents. But, I remain unconvinced that surgery and drugs are warranted except in the rare case.

The cautious approach you take versus the scenario presented, would fail the individual.

That said, nobody is able to come up with a answer to said scenario that actually exists in the real world. Naturally because, as the rules apply in Alberta, there is zero solutions for the trans kid in this scenario other than

A) stop having gender disphoria

B) Don't live in Alberta.

You think yourself not a zealot. I remain unconvinced.

You think yourself a reasonable, mature adult. I remain unconvinced.

You are absolutely obsessed with this topic, to an unhealthy degree. You firebomb anyone who expresses even mild disagreement with your position. But I am the zealot.

Mental health resources until age of consent for more invasive medical procedures.
