Although I know you should look at it as dysphoria, I also look at it as just a "What If" question. What if I gave up everything and became a woman? What if I just showed up one day fully dressed as a woman? How would I live? I know some people would probably say that it is about time. But I always fear the pain and suffering of those I love and even what it would do to me. Although sadly stated, I would rather make the choice of dealing with it on my own. Sad but true unfortunately. I do have an immense respect for those who pursue it in any other way if it makes them happy and content.
