I suspect your disagreement is with a point of fact, but not the fact of their perception.
You say that you don't feel like it's something that would happen, they are literally telling us that they feel as though it already is happening, or has happened. I think that we could both fairly criticize the notion as a point of fact, but we either believe that they feel what they say they feel or we don't. Is it possible to feel like you are the wrong race, and for this to express itself as dysphoria? I'd say yes. People have been writing about it for as long as we've been compelling them to it, or as long as they've been arriving at it wholly by themselves.
