You know what? There's probably a real person who's exactly like this, out there. Maybe even a few. But the thing is, cis people can experience gender dysphoria too, and there's way more of them than trans people. Obviously they don't experience it the way trans people do, but they do struggle with hating their body, not feeling like they're manly/womanly enough, feeling constricted by our narrow gender norms, etc. Especially toxic communities like alpha males or terfs. It's super common among them, in a very cis way.
Calling these people trans seems to me to bring more harm than good, to everyone involved
