It is a valid term used by trans people to describe their own feelings (see the gender dysphoria bible for example) The other person must have gotten something mixed up…
It’s subtle, but when gender dysphoria is framed as a condition to be “cured” and processed through conversion therapy (to return the person “back to normal”), instead of symptoms which are best treated through gender affirmation and transition.
