The odd thing is - and I don't mean that in any way representative for anyone else's experience - that while I do feel perfectly comfortable and at home with my current gender, if I were to wake up tomorrow in a woman's body, I would be very surprised, but I cannot imagine that I would be terribly troubled by it.
Seriously, I'm pretty sure I'd just go on living precisely as I do now - with some amount of unusual changes in lifestyle, obviously, but I am quite confident that I wouldn't worry about it too much unless I'd suffer from sexism in society. Whether I'm male or female doesn't obviously (to me) figure into most of the things I do. To quote our Chancellor, I don't walk around all day thinking "man! man! man!".
Not knowing too much about it, I still suspect for that reason that there is more to dysphoria than just being "trapped in a man's" body or vice versa.
