I have dysphoria, but didn't realize that's what it was until after I realized I was trans. Before that it was a long period of wishing I was a girl, looking at urban legends and fiction about people magically changing sex and going 'man I wish that was me' and wishing I had dysphoria so I could be trans so I could transition. Then I saw someone post "cis guys don't wish they were girls" and linked to egg_irl and that did it.
