Would you say it is similar to how some people with no legs want to have legs? Or fat people who want to be skinny?

I guess it's kind of similar to how people without legs feel. I've heard that people without legs sometimes have "phantom legs". While they're consciously aware they're missing legs, their brain is still wired to have them. Similarly, my brain is wired for a female body.

Every trans person's experience is different, I know that the "wrong body" terminology doesn't apply to everyone.

What about more like a poor person wishing they were rich?
