Wanting to fully be another gender is all it really takes to be trans. Even if you can live the rest of your life as the gender you are now, you could still be trans.
If you would be happier living (sometimes, to some extent, or all the time) as another gender, you’re likely experiencing gender dysphoria via the absence of gender euphoria. It is possible to not notice the weight one carries until after it is removed.
That’s part of what’s so horrific about it; you might just not know how good life can be until you get a taste of it. That’s certainly how it was for me.
wanting to try out or even fully be the opposite gender =/= gender dysphoria
