One metaphor I've seen that I really liked is something along the lines of: When you're given vanilla ice cream, you might not hate it. Some people do, but you're okay with it. However, chocolate ice cream is something you want much more, so you opt to switch in your vanilla for chocolate. (I'm bad at analogies)

All in all, from what I see, bon-dysphoric trans people are just trans people who are much happier as their preferred gender, but don't really hate their agab in a dysphoria way.

Note: it's been a hot minute since I've though about trans meds and this stuff. Also, I'm dysphoric if that matters at all.
