I had gender dysphoria for two years. I never changed my appearance (I knew I was beautiful. I literally was discovered in High School and could have been a "Cover Girl" (Commercial Print is like a model for girls who aren't tall) with the agency who has people like Channing Tatum and Angelina Jolie. In retrospect, I'm glad my mom didn't let me do it. They tried three times.). I never stopped wanting to marry and have children. I was only ever interested in men. But feeling male made planning for the future difficult, because when I thought ahead, my mind kicked me out of picturing myself. I had problematic OCD, too. I started eating better, started drinking raw milk, roleplayed a female character online and went back to normal. The OCD and gender dysphoria went away together. Only very light OCD now. Good nutrition leads to good health, physical and mental.

Im too lazy to find it but I recently read a study that showed the overwhelming majority of gender confused yourh settle on their birth gender after what you described, a few years of questioning it.

in decades past , before it became a progressive fad, gender clinic doctors noted dysphoria was a passing phase in 90% of children

nowadays we trap those kids with medical interventions

I've seen that information posted here.

And it's not merely questioning, confusion, what I had. Not like I was young and didn't have experience having felt normal, which didn't feel male or female, but just was. I had come up with some great male characters and got the opportunity to literally LARP (live action roleplay) them, and I enjoyed it. But then it was like I didn't want to leave that feeling. It became very comfortable and solid.

Acting skills do run in the family. My mom said she never understood my sister until she read a book on the great actress Sarah Bernhardt. (She said it was her greatest accomplishment keeping her off stage.) My youngest brother could have starred in a movie if my mother had let him. So for me, maybe I got into character and combined with some mental health issues couldn't get out. Maybe a demon is involved. Who knows. What matters and what I get annoyed about is society pushing drugs/psychiatry/psychology instead of nutrition, so people don't get what they really need to be well and think chronic physical and mental illness is uncurable.

OCD can be put to good use for creative projects and goal achievement.

It might pair well with ADHD.

To hell with this. It's mental illness that needs to be healed from. Trying to brush your hair for an hour because you can't do it right and having to take breaks to keep from melting down is OCD. I hate it when people say something abnormal and dysfunctional like autism is good. No, it has its base in digestive dysfunction and needs to be healed from.

Edit. I have powerful creativity that pairs better with health than mental illness.

Dysfunctionality is not stronger functionality.

I always say that Martha Stewart created a multi million dollar business with her OCD, er, I mean attention to detail...

a lot of girls with gender dysphoria are simply dealing with undiagnosed sexual trauma

they have had an inappropriate sexual experience - or they are emotionally unprepared to deal with the sexual attention of men especially as puberty transforms their body, and they think that by de-feminising themselves they can escape that attention. Then it becomes Pathologised and expresses itself as the delusion, or delusional aspiration, to actually be or become men
