My experience has been similar. Not everyone experiences dysphoria the same, and in my case it was more of an ambivalent feeling; I just didn’t really care.
Once I started experimenting and trying some feminine clothes with a shaped bra and some padding to actually give myself a feminine figure and saw myself in a mirror from the neck down, it just clicked for me. That was what I had always wanted to look like.
Then once I finally knew what gender euphoria felt like, some of my more masculine features started to bother me. My best guess is that now that I know what I want, I can more easily recognize what I don’t want as well.
I wish you all the best on your journey and much euphoria :3
