How can someone feel more FTM when AMAB?

Nobody is assigned a gender at birth. It's observed. The delivering physician or midwife looks at the infant's genitals and writes down M or F accordingly.

Even in the vanishingly rare intersex conditions where surgical intervention is required because the baby's genitals are deformed, it is usually obvious whether the child is male or female. In the case of true hermaphroditism, rarer than horse feathers, karyotyping reveals female sex with a >90% incidence.

Your entire question is absolute bollocks. Do better.

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

Furthermore, nobody is FTM or MTF; changing sex in humans is literally impossible. Sex is a gonochoric binary in humans, no power on earth can change it.

A man who “identifies as” a woman is a woman in the same way I'm a giraffe. Thoughts and feelings have literally nothing to do with sex at all, and gender as the word is used today, in practical terms means nothing at all.
