If they were okay with themselves, they wouldn't need to transition. Not being okay with yourself is what it means to be dysphoric (at least as regards a personal trait, since the term does more generally refer to any pervasive sense of unease, but we'll stick with the colloquial use).

If they get to the point where they like themselves and still want to transition then yeah, let them transition, but there's a reason that the first step in transitioning is talking to a professional. Some of the people that think they want to transition don't actually want to transition, and it's better to figure that out if they want to actually transition or if they just have hangups about their body/have an illness/disease that could be worked out with a therapist before they go about transitioning. So yeah, I think it's perfectly fine to say the way you were born is the way you were meant to be but with some exceptions.
