just unsubbed from the trans subreddit
a post i saw about gender envy and being trans
"how do you know when you're actually trans and it's not just gender envy"
it's comment section is filled with blatant misinformation, 'cis people don't have gender envy so you're trans. (there's way more than just the picture
no?? that's just not true
Gender envy is just envy. Wanting certain physical traits, social treatment, clothes, or presentation that the other sex typically has. Cis people can definitely experience it. Men can envy women because of many reasons, Women envy men for many other reasons. Some people take it further into crossdressing as a hobby, aesthetic exploration, or kink. None of that automatically equals being transgender.
sorry for the rant! it's also somewhat reoccuring, best tip for me imo is go see a psychiatrist or a specialist in gender dysphoria and he'll tell you everything you need to know.
