I would not say that gender dysphoria worsens with age but rather that as you get closer to your authentic self, the urgency of addressing the mental work which remains increases. You now truly understand that there is no place or even any need to hide.
I agree. When I stopped the denials and repression and started living authentically (at home for now) the dysphoria became more apparent when I was not presenting authentically outside the home. Once your body knows, it knows.

This is very common for trans people in that once denial is gone the real work begins
