We’ll try our best to answer, note I of the group aren’t great with specifics like Lily above-Basil
Gender is a part of your personal identity, think it as like a starter kit of sorts maybe? Then your decisions and interests further your personality and interests, and just like how people label sexualities, gender can be labeled as such (think extreme cliches like he/him likes monster trucks, she/her likes barbies.) However, your socially perceived gender is started off with your doctor and family and that starts off of your sex at birth (not your chromosomes, not your bone structure, not of your hair, etc etc) solely based off of the genitalia (sing even go further determining gender before birth like gender reveal (really cringe imo.))
So yeah, a social precieved gender is put on you and would normally bet like a starter kit for you to formulate with
As for the second part with extension from the first, your self perceived gender or base of identity is different than that of what was put towards you, weather that’s opposite gender like ourselves, no gender, or another kind all together, it’s like a base of identity you stack everything else that you care about upon it. So the “dysphoria” is the incorrect personal perception of themselves that is then heightened by the whole social standing of the social perception.
Again thinking in extremes (but some true feelings we ourselves experience) like how trans people are held up to high standards and must have the ideal passing for other people’s idea of gender. Women with no body hair, big boobs, long neat hair, etc. It’s impossible and most cis women don’t meet most of that, but trans women are faced with those standards in order to be treated as equals.
For trans men are to be expected as tall, muscular, mustache/beard, emotionally stone, a deep voice, etc while- again many cis men don’t meet those standards but that again are the standards trans men face.)
With those societal pressures, it’s no wonder that trans people also feel that along with their own perception of gender that they must conform to, and with the vicious cycle of trying to be more so you feel you are and being denied thats not masculine, feminine, non binary, etc enough. It just cycles into a box you to fit in, with no room to stack anything else for your own interests/hobbies.

TLDR: 1- yes, 2- Physical and mental don’t match their own and social perception of the person’s gender. -Basil/PJ/Sunny/Gem
