Gender dysphoria isn't curable but it is treatable. After all, if you cured yourself you would no longer feel a pull towards gender variance of any kind and would be like everyone else. There would be no desire to be the other sex.
I recently watched content from a young transsexual woman who said she grudgingly had to accept what she needed to do to get rid of the brain dissonance. It wasn't fun but instead necessary and she first sought other avenues. Some who go ahead with transition feel their dysphoria is still there but greatly diminished afterwards. This is what I have done with social transition which has greatly cleared my head.
This is a brain chemistry issue and not a physical one and I am now all but certain that one is born with it which is why so many know there is something up quite early in life.
The way you know you have it is that the dissonance can be ignored for a time or drowned out but it never completely goes away. It can just be muted to varying degrees of success.
