How do you tell gender envy from attraction?

I am currently on vacation and going to the beach sucks because I see these girls my age and think "Holy shit, I want to look like that." But then I get heavy impostor syndrome. Maybe this is just me being attracted and wanting to be trans, so my brain makes it think it's envious when it's just attracted? So, how do you tell envy from attraction?

so like its entirely possible for it to both, but, from the way you phrased it as "wanting to be trans" it seems like your questioning things rn? i just want to mention that being trans is an option, you can do that if you want.
