I'm going to preface this that I'm asking questions out of curiosity, and mean no disrespect. I was curious if we did live in that perfect world, would you still identify as bi-gender? Is being recognized how you're responding to the world important for you, or to clarify for others? I can understand the idea feeling polarized, but in a different way--being bisexual, I respond very differently to men I'm attracted to vs women. I'm just trying to understand a little more. 
I wonder that myself. It could be that my gender dysphoria stems from my feelings on how I feel about gender and the way society treats it as a whole.
At the same time, regardless of where it comes from, I still feel it. I hate my hips, my chest, my everything (as a guy, I'm not particularly feeling it right now as I am in girl-mode). It all feels gross and alien, and I feel kind of... empty. I doubt it would go away, even if the world did recognize me as male. So yes, in that perfect world, I think I would still identify as bi-gendered -- the only difference would be that I would act/think virtually the same between between genders*.
*Note: My personality does not change based on my gender. My reactions do, to an extent, but only because of the aforementioned priority/pressure shift.
I'm not trying to be rude or anything like that either, but does that mean that you are a female in biological terms? I'm just asking because I'm curious.
