There isn't really anything wrong with being transgender in a setting where magic can literally make you into a girl without a lifelong dependency on immunosuppressant medication and never-ending post-operative care for a cronenberg fleshrending surgery.
A man wanting to be a woman and a man having the delusion that he should be a woman are two very different things.
Maybe before magical intervention, but not after. You would be fully female, including your brain and everything derived from it. Like being under the effect of a feeblemind spell. The pre-transition psychological state doesn't really affect the outcome, I wouldn't think.
A delusional person wouldn't stop being delusional after getting a magical sex change. They would continually develop new fixations and delusions.

Edit: For that matter, even assuming that gender dysphoria is separate from a delusional state, since the underlying problem with the person's brain causing gender dysphoria hasn't been treated with a Remove Disease spell, wouldn't the person who got transformed into the other sex just continue to have gender dysphoria in their new body?

Pathfinder: Wrath
explain why everyone isn't looking like supermodels if people have access to that sort of thing. Why aren't all the men looking like gigachads and why aren't all the women looking more voluptuous than Venus? If magic gives you physical changes like that easily why are there still manlets around and why are there people that look old?
Obviously, you haven't played Kingmaker. Or, if you did, your reading comprehension and memory are so poor that you do not remember a dialogue with Jubilost where he gives a perfect in-world explanation of why it is so.

I will not delineate more, but I will point out that most of the people in this and similar threads do not play the games they are bitching about. Which is telling. And cute.

I'd argue still playing Wrath is far more embarrassing than never having played it.
