You wake up in a body of the opposite sex. It takes years, but you eventually learn to operate in this body - how to navigate romantic/sexual dynamics and social expectations - about as well as people naturally born into this body. Do you predict you'd feel dysphoria?

Is this a scenario in which evil neuroscientists transplant your brain into a body of the opposite sex? If so, then the answer is clearly yes, as you would have a brain of one sex in the body of another. In any other scenario the question is inconsistent as it wouldn't be me.

My only frame of reference is I've gotten used to changes associated with aging. Hard to say about a change that big, though.

It’s very likely, just the time it takes to adjust to a body with an entirely different base-structure would heighten the mental impulses that are shouting “you don’t belong”

This question is completely uninteresting unless "body" doesn't include "nervous system". If my nervous system was transplanted in to a woman's then I would 100% feel dysphoria, if none of my body was transplanted then "I" would not wake up as that person.

Having actually experienced a different gender from birth, including hormonal cycles and changes as well as society's treatment, and remembering it then yes it would feel out of place. Until I get used to it which you do with almost anything given enough time.
