I'm also curious about female to male transgendered people on this question. Many M to F's are anxious to get rid of their penis but I'm not seeing F to M's obsessing over having a penis. Maybe they are but not as expressive about it?
Yeah, I really don't care about having a penis. Maybe if there were a more viable surgical option for creating one it would be a bigger deal among ftms. As it stands, the best surgical option still isn't a penis per se. One thing is - I think it is the 'stick out' gendered parts that really cause grief for a TS. Ftms bind their breasts, and mtfs tuck. A vagina just isn't very cumbersome.
Unless you intend on being intimate with someone.
That is, if you're a man who cannot adjust to having a "hole." I don't think I ever will. It's a hole and it bleeds. My brain tends to think of it as some sort of wound. My doctors say I'm perfectly healthy down there and yet I feel physical pain on a regular basis.
And yeah, this thread was for MtFs, but I'll give my two-cents. Across the board, it's not that I don't like "A" feature or "B" feature, but rather, I dislike that I look so female, and I wish to pass. I think T will take care of most of that problem. I am not happy with my arms/chest, so I started working out more. I've already noticed changes in density (my arm's harder, but not bigger). My boobs certainly bug me but they aren't awfully big. I can pass with a tank top underneath and it actually kind of passes off as muscle. If I catch my arms up to it, then it'll certainly look like it's in place. My lower region causes me the most pain, but that really is all that is irritating about it. I cannot be intimate in the way I prefer to, so that leaves a lot of emotional scarring for me. I honestly
do feel like less of a man for not having a penis, because to most people, that would mean I'm not one at all. Also, I know that men with micropenises have the same problem, so I am not alone in this feeling. It is not because I am insecure with my gender identity; I'm not. I just feel this way because any man with small/none would feel some sort of inadequacy until he had some therapy to treat those feelings.
In a perfect world I'd be 6' tall, but that's 9 inches to go. So I'm not "aspiring" towards that. I don't tell myself I want it because I'll never have it. I have to accept my height.
Really wish I could have tapped into my dad's genetics. He's 5'11" and he told me a story about how he was well hung in high school and was teased because the buff guys with tiny penises were pretty envious. If I was born male, I had good genetics in line. Tall, thin, well hung, proper distribution of hormones (meaning I'd have no trouble looking male or growing a beard)... It just sucks that I got the other half.
As for a question earlier, I really want to have a penis, but not a fake one that is a bag of skin or one made of female parts... I know it's scientifically possible to have a transplant, simply not plausible. It's very difficult for me, because I want to be natural and I want things to work. I'm not asking for perfection or outrageous size. I want to be average... heck, I could even stand being below average in the size department.

Besides my body as a whole? Honestly I'd do away with the whole damn thing...my chest and lack of male genitalia bothers me the most. And my huge nonmale lips.
Big lips are not non-male. Some of my favorite actors have some pretty full lips, and it looks good on them, I think.
