Am I alone?

Even if someone notices your scars it's unlikely their mind will jump straight to transsexualism as the reason.

Might think gynecomastia? Or perhaps an accident. Actually not everyone pays that much attention.

You're definitely not alone mate.

I think the reason many of us have more top dysphoria is because we know there's a solution out there. Top surgery is the perfect answer to that dysphoria. But with bottom stuff, it's more complex. I can only speak for myself, but I honestly think the reason I have no lower dysphoria is because I've accepted the fact that there's no surgery that accomplishes what I'd want. If there's no realistic solution to it, then I have to find a way to accept it or I'll go crazy. If there was an option that achieved what I wanted, I'm sure I'd experience dysphoria about it as I wouldn't let myself just accept what's there. So if you're already on that level of non-acceptance, it makes total sense IMO.

I agree. If I could snap my fingers and have a fully functioning penis, I would. But, that's not the reality so I just deal with what I have and I'm ok with it considering the options.
