I'd recommend seeing a therapist (ideally one that deals with gender stuff or has had trans patients before), we can't really give you advice based on a few paragraphs of text.
The forum rules require people to have made 15 posts before they can add photos, have an avatar, and add more info to their profile, post links and suchlike - it's to prevent web-bots from pretending to be people :). Welcome to the boards.
continue seeing your therapist, I hope you can figure stuff out with him/her :)
Some male-to-female transsexuals (transgenders?) decide to stay non-op (that means don't undergo SRS or any surgery). It's your body so you're free to decide what to do with it, this forum even has a section for non-op people.

Oh! thanks... ok so when i have 15 post i will edit :x ..
But i would like you tell me what you think, about no wanting body surgeries.. .
these being covered by country...
When I started my journey I did not care about SRS. I am finding however that as I live without denial and as I truly am, this is changing. I am starting to have a strong dislike for the extra appendage. I agree, keep seeing your therapist as they are your best outlet to work though any and all issues you may have.
Hi Maga girl
I see you're new to the forum, so in the first place, welcome (bienvenido)
To give some answer to your question, it's not that strange if you don't want to go for surgery.
A lot of people don't do that, it's all about the way you feel and how you're thinking your life is worth to live.
But keep in mind that when you start hormones, there is a change (big one) you will get the boobs.
I hope you like your stay and I'm looking forward to your future posts and pics.
Hasta el proximo vez ( I hope I didn't swear on you now, my Spanish is a bit rusty these days)
hugs
Annette
genetics play a role, but it can really vary a lot
Boobs aren't really that important for passing, but I guess they add to a feminine figure. What's your face shape? how tall are you? do you have a big frame? and a few more. those matter way more
Why on earth are you asking us? most people know they are transsexual from any early age.

I absolutely agree with you Jade!
You look great! You could already pass with long hair and female clothes!

I agree with Jade you would pass quite easily.

If I can play devil's advocate here, not everyone knows for sure from an early age and in some cases there's confusion for years (likely some of it stemming from denial)
While I can't be certain, as I apparently have the worst memory in the world and don't remember much earlier than age 11 or so... i don't think I started really feeling different until my teens and puberty hit, which were an absolute living hell.
Also just earlier this year at the age of 31, did I finally fully understand who I am and come to terms with it... I also asked a very similar question to this one for my first post late last year. I'm long winded sorry about that, could have summed this up in much fewer words.. but basically that while yes the quote un quote "classic transsexual" knows from a rather young age.. it's not always the case.
To Maga Girl, I don't think passing would be an issue for you honestly, I think you would do fine.. I agree with the consensus though.. a gender therapist is your best bet right now.
