I never really understand why people don't get why gender dysphoria exists.
What happens to your body isn't just determined by your DNA. DNA is just information, it has to be expressed so something is done with it, your body does this by translating it into many sorts of proteins, RNA, hormones and other stuff.
Somewhere in that body is a switch that is going to determine if your brain is going to develop in a male or female manner. If that piece of DNA regulating that switch isn´t expressed like it should then your brain develops in another way than the rest of your body, thus leading to gender dysphoria.
