i want to be a woman but still want to have my male genitals?

There are trans people that never have bottom surgery and are 100% ok with it. That doesn't make their gender any less valid. Genitals do not determine gender and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

 

Of course there are other trans people like that. Are you a girl? Yes. Does a girl need to have a vagina? No. You don't have to want a vagina to be a girl. Your genitals don't matter in your gender.

 

Some people don't have dysphoria pertaining to a certain trait. It varies a lot person to person.

 

THIS there are a lot of people who have vaginas who are not female, and a lot of people who have a penis who are not male. you are you and no one can say you aren't. if you want to transition up to the point of bottom surgery and stop there, go for it sister.(*hug*)

 

People can be dysphoric over lots of things and a lot of trans people don't have bottom dysphoria. You're still young and you might change your mind but your identity isnt based on your genitals. Your identity of being a woman is just as valid as a cis-woman, no matter what you've got down there so there's no need to stress about it.

 

I've had a little dysphoria about my genitals in the past, but for months now I haven't had any and have been really happy with my typically male genitalia. I see my genitals as perfectly consistent with me being a woman.

 

What everyone else has said is perfectly true. Remember that gender and sex are two completely different things. Your gender is how YOU identify but your sex is your anatomy which puts you into the binary of male or female at birth.

And surgery is never a requirement. It is your body. If you are comfortable with it, then obviously you've got nothing to change when you're already satisfied. Think of it like this (and I'm just going to generalize here): there's thousands upon thousands of transgender folks worldwide. Probably not even half of them have access to sex reassignment surgery or top surgery, for a multitude of reasons - it's illegal, needs approval by certain people, the process is impossible to complete, it's too costly, and so on - so, in the meantime, if someone who is like you and is MTF, and say they're different in that they want surgery but can't get it yet; does that mean in the waiting period they are any less of a woman? Absolutely not. And for those who don't want surgery, the same is true.

Don't let anyone pressure you into thinking you have to have surgery. You're perfect the way you are as long as you love the way you are.
