Yes yes yes yes YES. If you read detransitioner stories on Reddit and Twitter, you'll see that their "gender dysphoria" is mostly general body dysmorphia, internalized misogyny/homophobia, porn/sex/masturbation addiction (we think this mostly affects men, but I've seen several female detransitioners say porn played a role in their transition too -- think yaoi fangirls), discomfort with social roles, and pressure to fit in with what is trendy. These are all things that can be overcome without wrong-sex hormones and surgery.
