It means experiencing little or no conflict between the gender you're generally treated as, the anatomy of your body, and the gender you regard yourself as.

Well, that feels like it should be a sliding scale.

I'm not sure where I'd put such a conflict meter, if one existed, but it isn't at 0.

Agreed that it's more accurate to model such conflict (and gender identity more generally) as existing on a continuum than as some kind of binary.
