So ... not to be a dumbass about this, but isn't that still just believing you're something you're not?
Weeell this goes back to the distinction between sex and gender. Not everyone makes this distinction, but certain anal-retentives (aka terves) will say that sex = physical differences between men and women, while gender = socially-enforced differences (eg clothing, hobbies, hair length, etc). Literally nothing prevents men from growing their hair out or wearing skirts except social convention.
This also shows that gender dysphoria is a too-broad term which encompasses 2 very different things - discomfort with your actual, physical body, and discomfort with how society expects you to act based on your body. A dude wanting to chop his dick off is different from a dude who loves his dick but wants to wear pretty princess outfits.
