The MC of my latest WIP is a trans woman who struggles with dysphoria for the majority of her story (the resolution involves, in part, her coming to terms with the body she was born with, as physical transition is impossible due to the tech level of her universe and a lack of magic -- plus it would undermine the theme I'm going for). I want to show her dysphoria right from the start, but I'm not sure of how to go about it without resorting to the cliche of "main character stares into a mirror and comments on how they look". I do have plans for involving her negative reaction to her birth name, but that might require a different scene.
If any trans/non-binary folks want to help a cis girl out, I'd be very grateful. ^^
