trans still means having dysphoria

Actually in many circles now, stating this would get one called a transmedicalist or a tucute which is bad enough to get people cancelled now as "gatekeepers". The TRA updated the definition of trans to mean "anyone who identifies as a man or woman" regardless of dysphoria or not. You don't need dysphoria, or surgery to be trans.

Now in the context of same sex attraction, at some point we called it same-sex attraction because it was just that, but now I find a lot of people are doing what the people (in my examples) are doing right now, which kind of confirms (for me, anyway) that attraction is sex based, not someone's self identified gender.
