Oh yeah... cis-girls are REALLY jealous of beautiful trans women, I can tell you that right now.
My roommate seriously just about screamed when I showed her Carmen Carrera, Janet Mock, and a bunch of the Youtube transition timelines.
Basically, what she was thinking is "That's so not fair! How can she be prettier than ME? I was born female, damn it, how the hell can someone who was born male look more feminine than me?"
I guarantee you every girl has some lingering resentment about her looks and her physical inadequacies buried in there somewhere... this is why so many girls are bitter jealous backstabbing b****es in middle and high school before they've learned to curb their jealousy of those who are prettier than them.
I've had a few cis-female friends tell me "I'd kill for your legs grrrrrrl!" or that they loved one of my outfits, but that's about it. I haven't really gotten any jealousy directed toward me because I'm not very feminine, I'm 6'2", large-built, and have kind of a "meh" face and an average figure. So I don't have much to be jealous of. Maybe I'll get more once I'm out in the wide world, but I doubt it, I definitely look like a more athletic tomboyish girl. And most women aren't jealous of tomboys, they're jealous of the pretty, cute, petite, feminine girls.
Other trans women, on the other hand... dear God, I get SO much jealousy from them. There's actually girls who have come to me crying and whining about how they'll never be as naturally-female as me, so why do they even bother trying? (And I'm just rolling my eyes and going "Sigh... still in that phase of transition where you're mired in self-hatred, and still think that absolutely everyone else is pretty except you, I see. Yep, I remember that phase. Ah, youth.") Plus there's been several times in our trans support group where other trans-women have basically given me this bitter "how DARE you still be having emotional problems? If I was you, my life would be perfect, damn it!" attitude.
