Yes, transmedicalism says you can't be trans if you don't have dysphoria. AGPs say they have dysphoria from being AGP, but I don't know if transmeds agree on whether that is valid or not. Anecdotally, I feel like AGPs who admit their AGP seem to be more considerate and less prone to hurt others (like you say). I feel like ending self-ID and having more gatekeeping might reduce the numbers of AGPs who transition or maybe AGPs could be taught to deal with it some other way. I really do worry about safety because some AGPs are predatory letting them transition puts women and trans people in harms way. I feel like there are no easy answers. :(
