I don't think you're dismissing it, just misunderstanding and conflating it.
The reason you are "just you" I suspect is that you know nothing different. If "you" mentally didn't match up with how your body physically manifests, I would bet that would be a different thing.
What I'm seeing is that some people are still conflating "societal norms" with transgender identity. Again, what we have to understand is that this isn't cross dressing. This isn't a boy who wants to be like a girl and is therefore flouting societal norms, but rather a girl in a boy's body. I have heard it described that people with GID sometimes feel surprised when they see their penis, or they even have a phantom penis if its the other way around.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
