Gender conflict is when your ascribed biological sex (female/male genitalia) does not match your internal feelings of gender (do you feel like a man? a woman? both? neither? something else?). In this sense, a female who feels like they are a man, would have a conflict between their ascribed sex and gender identity.
Gender conflict can also be when someone does not like/want to participate in the gender roles that their society expects of them.
In the U.S. gender roles for women include becoming a mother and taking care of children, being good with children, being more passive, being in a heterosexual relationship, etc. Gender roles for men in the U.S. include being aggressive, being hypersexual, being a "breadwinner," being in a heterosexual relationship, becoming a father and disciplining children, doing more physically demanding work than women, etc.
So, for example, a woman with gender conflict in this sense, might be a woman who has no interest in becoming a mother.

YES. One of the largest flare-ups recently has been over seating in buses. According to Ultra-Orthodox Jews, there is halakha or minhag that women need to sit in the back of the bus and separate from men. However, this causes direct conflict with gender equality in Israeli domestic law. Another issue is the gender segregation at the Western Wall, which has been brought up as a case of gender inequality.
