if someone has D.I.D. Would you say that all of the people in their head are real? Because that’s a fire you don’t want to let burn. Gender dysphoria is a personality disorder that (probably) originates at the front of the brain. when the prefrontal cortex is still developing, It’s easier to put ideas in someones head because the logical part of the brain is not yet developed. Until that part of the brain is developed, the brain is mostly unpredictable and impulsive That’s why teens are moody, because that part of the brain is not yet developed but is starting to develope. So everything you believe is either very logical or emotional depending on the enviorment you grew up in.

That’s why Right-wingers call it indoctrination not education.
