So sorry for the pain you are experiencing. I am fairly sure that had I possessed a switch-sex button at puberty I would have done that, and not because of my sex as much but really because how my sex is treated by the rest of the society. What helped me was to read a lot of feminist classics (Simone de Beauvoir, Andrea Dworkin, Germaine Greer etc etc). I didn't have to agree with everything they said but they gave me wider frameworks to understand the issue.

A good feminist therapist might be able to help you feel better too, if that is something realistic in your circumstances (location, finances etc.). I wish you peace and joy in the future.
