dysphoria != dysmorphia.

your point still stands.

Dysphoria would be a more apt description, because it's just a profound state of unease or distress that could be related to anything. Dysmorphia, like this dumb article uses, specifically refers to dissatisfaction with the shape of one's body

Honestly probably a majority of people do, but it's only for a much smaller subset that it becomes clinically relevant, meaning it significantly impacts someone's functioning in other areas of life

You're talking specifically about body dysmorphia. Other things can be dysmorphic, it basically just means malformed

I'm hard pressed to find any definition or use of the word "dysmorphia" that isn't directly related to perception of one's body. The word "dysmorphic" could be used to describe a malformed body part regardless of how the person feels about it, but malformed is a much more common way to describe that. "Dysmorphia" though seems to only describe an internal experience related to the perception of one's body
