I dont believe that discomfort has a biological source. You wouldn't feel like your body is foreign or deformed if you hadn't other people telling you how a man or a woman should look like, what life they should have or how they should behave. In an environment with no human society, gender dysphoria can't exist, you would feel neutral about your body.

No, I wouldn't, and in fact I didn't until I figured out that pretty much all the parts of my body that don't seem right to me are sex differences. It would actually be easier if I could change sexes only in my point of view. I have no social reason to make the switch, in fact quite the contrary.

Most of the people who have this problem have some genetic defects in common. You can't just chalk that up to coincidence. Especially when it turns out those same genes are involved with neurological development from hormones.
