Dealing with dysphoria if you are born female
- you do nothing and just live your life as if you had no dysphora, you hope it will lessen over time
- do introspection and try to figure out why you are uncomfortable being female and change what you view as unhealthy thinking to more healthy thinking pattern.
- non medical transition (short hair, clothing, etc).
- you try to induce autogynephilia
- short term testosterone usage
- breast reduction (may make breastfeeding impossible in the future).
- irriversible medical transition.
If you issue is just gender nonconformity it should be easy for you to find a solution and you and you will not need advice from anyone.
I dont expect my suggestion to induce autogynephilia (common in cis females) to be popular but it's better than having to cut your breasts of or suicide. Taking testosterone will make your sex-drive stronger and thus AGP and AAP will also be stronger.
For genital growth, a 10% DHT concentration, non-alcoholic cream is desired. A typical dosage is 20 mg administered three times a day. Rub the cream onto the glans, shaft and foreskin; it absorbs quickly. A typical length of treatment is three months.

1: I'd further this to say, not just doing nothing but doing the things you love in life, finding things that take your mind off dysphoria, remembering that you are living your life right now and not just waiting for it to start.
2; Good suggestion. I like the visual of picturing yourself as an incessantly curious toddler, asking yourself "why?" over and over again until you find the root of the problem. "Because it's just the way it is" won't suffice for a three year old and it shouldn't for you, either. Interrogate yourself!
Binding might be a short term solution but often exacerbates dysphoria in the long term because you get used to seeing yourself with a flat chest. spend time unbound and get used to the way you look. You don't have to like it, you don't have to think you look good. All you need to do is accept that this is what your body is.
Your brain in neuroplastic so you will adapt over time, thus trying to change your body just to deal with body dysphoria might be counter productive.
