If you don't mind me asking, if you have no dysphoria why are you transitioning? Transition is difficult and for some of leads to discrimination. I went into it hoping I would pass but had no guarantee.
I'm not asking you to validate your decision but I am curious.
No, I do not have dysphoria, or at least not a crippling version of it. But remember, I was supposed to be a woman from birth on, and somebody made me into a male. I lived for many years in the male role, I could never really achieve. One day the bottle cap blew off, (about 16 or so years ago,), and I just could not do it anymore. I don't know why, but I started to dislike to be a man very much! I lived for many years an androgynous lifestyle, until my boobs started to grow.
At that time my entire being wanted to be a woman, and get the body back that was taken from me as a baby.
I lived for so long a fake life as a man (almost like a crossdresser), and I still can do that if it is of advantage, as long as I know that I can fall back into my woman roll.
I don't care about discriminations, I am very asertiv, self confident, and sometimes even aggressive (only verbal, never physical). I learned this, to enable me to reach the goals that were hard to reach for a guy, who had mostly a woman's body and appearance. Life trained me with the school of hard knocks!
Passing is not that important for me (but it seems to be rather easy, because of my body, I am starting to have male fails), more important is that I can live the life I was always meant to live.
I don't know if that answers your question?
