I guess my problem with your view of 'transness' is that you view it as illness or dysfunction. And it's not that. Turning transwoman to a man is equivalent of turning man to opposite gender in a bad case of gynecomastia. That's not the mind that is a problem, I hope you understand my point.
Dysphoria goes deeper than just bodily dysmorphia, it's about how you see yourself, not only your body. So changing my mind to make me something I'm not (a man) sounds like a horror - some kind of upgraded lobotomy. That's much more invasive than any surgery.
And it's not about culture, it's about understanding that people identities is not a part that you can/should fix.
And speaking about data and science, there is pretty clear evidence that trans people who receive proper care (hormones) and accepted by society live normal happy life as the rest of the people.
