I was born male and want the bottom surgery only. Even though I am clearly masculine in appearance, I have a slightly effeminate shape and soft skin, which I really like about myself. When it comes to my genitals, I would rather have a vagina for various reasons. By only having the bottom surgery, I can stay true to how I see myself as a person. I noticed I subconsciously stopped identifying my gender unless I'm check a box; short answer "male". I've given thought to which restroom I would use, and I've decided I will continue to use the one I identify most with, men's. I'll just loose the convenience of standing at the stall. I don't plan to do much else differently since my genitalia doesn't come into play too often in my life (sex and lavatory). Nowadays clothes/fabrics are becoming more unisex, so as long as I dress comfortably and according to my own style I don't have any concerns about how I look to others. I noticed women's fabric is soooo soft but the body shape is too different for me to buy a new wardrobe so I'm limited to women's underclothes or outerwear (the zippers being on the other side always throws me off).
My primary objective is to be myself without hindrance. With the psyche evaluations, government/medical red tape, and commentary for the public, I know I will have to further prepare myself mentally to not let outside influences alter how I perceive myself. I need insight concerning the surgery, but I do not require speculation on who I am as a person or whether this is a necessity. The decision that only I can make is whether or not I want to pursue the surgery. Once I've one way or the other, then I will deal with the rest of the world as it comes.
I believe there is a place in the spectrum for everyone. There may not be a "title" for it yet, although I've seen there is a community online. Before a name can be put to it, there must be someone to respond. I can relate to your post and I wish you the best in your pursuit of happiness, however that will unfold.
