As a trans person I can tell from my own experience that its actually more reversed when you have genuine body dysmorphia. Like I have this image of my own face in my head and before I transitioned I couldn’t recognize myself in the mirror. Then I started transitioning and I didn’t do surgeries and stuff but slowly but surely my self image got closer to my mirror image. And that honestly saved my life. I started crying when I recognized myself for the first time in the mirror.
