The simplest definition of dysphoria is: "Dysphoria or dysphoric mood is a mental state in which a person has a profound sense of unease or dissatisfaction."[1] In the context of the longer phrase 'Gender dysphoria' the medical profession assumes that gender roles, gender conventions, gender customs, gender taboos, and gender expectations are given en utero with biological sex and thus any rejection of these roles amounts to a "denial" of biology. Thus any person who is uncomfortable with "gender expectations and labels" is deemed to also deny their physical genitals, a proposition that can be fairly considered hyperbole.
Accepting the simpler definition of 'dysphoria' as a profound sense of unease or dissatisfaction with a given circumstance, it is arguable that acceptance of conferred gender roles (such as male chivalry and upholding of gynocentric principles) are arbitrary 'blue pill' perspectives, and people who experience dysphoria about conferred gender identity may be red pilled. It can be argued that the medical profession need to redefine gender dysphoria as the belief that one's humanity, in all its wholeness, as NOT an en utero mandate.
