Would you still transition if society treated you as the correct gender from the start? (lemmygrad.ml)

I promise I am not a reactionary, but I am somewhat uneducated on the subject so I might say something offensive accidentally, sorry in advance about that.

So, does gender dysphoria stem from a disconnect between the body and some "gender socialization" function of the brain, which could be solved by getting socialized and treated by everyone as the correct gender from the start, or something that stems from a disconnect between the brain and the actual body parts and hormones, so the transition is needed to alleviate that, or both?

you are by no means wrong, but there is a lack of empirical research in this field. that is all that i want to say really. i absolutely agree that it is both, but we aren't some idiots who just go off what sounds right, we do science to know what is right. and that is really hard to do. and that means i won't just say it is that, if i don't have or partially lack empirical prove that it actually is.
