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...

What they're getting at is they don't ask for people who are trans, they ask for people "navigating gender dysphoria".

It's like someone using "females" instead of women.

When you choose that framing, it's often a sign of something deeper at play...
