Trans men (females) often say they don't get dysphoria over their name or pronouns until they transition.

Basically every time they hear their name or correct pronouns it let's them know they aren't passing and then they hate themselves.

There was a special i listened to on NPR in which they described how the more drastic a decision a person makes the more intensely they will experience cognitive dissonance in the face of evidence proving their decision was wrong. They didn't bring up the whole transgender issue but everything they said kept screaming this is literally how the trans issue is playing out.
