It is actually different, it's more or less the other way around. Body dysmorphia is people being unable to see what their body actually looks like objectively and believe themselves to be physically something they're not (I.e. people who are already underweight genuinely believing they look fat).

For trans people it's that they ARE aware of the objective reality of their body, but don't think it fits their subjective sense of self.
