Wtf is trans-med?
The idea that people who don’t experience dysphoria or who don’t wish to fully transition aren’t actually trans. This also excludes non binary trans people.
So like “I feel like a woman inside, though I have boy parts, but I have no intention or desire to change my body” kind of thing?
The feeling like a particular gender inside is an outdated way of looking at transness. Some trans people might describe their feelings that way but it’s mostly used by cis people who try to understand being trans.
To answer your question though: gender dysphoria or euphoria does not have to be about how the body looks. Some trans people only experience it socially, which in an ideal world would mean that they didn’t have to transition.
There can also be many other reasons why a trans person wouldn’t want to transition (fully). Many trans people choose not to have bottom surgery because it’s an invasive surgery and might not be worth it to them.
Transcendental Meditation? /s
