I believe in my perspective pretty strongly, but I try to keep an open mind and heart because what I know or think I know can change. My beliefs about gender dysphoria are really flexible because I think it can mean different things to different people, but overall I just see it as referring to discomfort with or intolerance of some or all aspects of one's natal sex or associated roles and expectations of that sex. To me, that way of looking at it doesn't indicate any particular way of addressing the dysphoria, like concerning medical treatment. GD could lead to transsexualism, but I don't think they are synonymous terms or concepts. And I'm pretty sure in these beliefs, mostly from lived experience and listening to a wide variety of personal descriptions of experiences of gender dysphoria and how people addressed it.
