So I am curious, if you are male to female, what male parts of your body bother you the most. I  may be a minority here because mine is not the penis, it is the arms, shoulders, and chest. Breasts are not a big deal to me. I know there is more to being femella (I like the latin root of female better than the English word) than having big boobies. The arms I am concerned about because I don't think surgery or hormone replacement therapy will be able to help with that. Surgery can help feminize the face, so that is not a big deal to me. Hormones can help give me curves and if that doesn't work, surgery can give me a big beautiful ghetto booty. I think one advantage M to F have over genetic femellas is that we have longer legs.

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?

My chest. I think it's just way too big, I don't know if that will ever look natural. Right now, I measure 38" around the bottom of my chest, that puts me at a 42 chest size. :/

I find my male hairline terribly embarassing. It's my most masculine feature at this point. At least in my own eyes anyway.

The genitals will go as soon as I have the money and letters, but they bother me more on a functional and symbolic level than simple appearance. Just seeing them doesn't bother me exactly. But knowing that they're there does.

Mostly everything else is just an annoyance, not a big deal. I wish I had a flat tummy, less knobby knees, more curves to my lower legs, and more cleavage.

Otherwise, I actually kinda like my body. It just needs a few minor tweaks

While not really a male feature, the part that bothers me the most is my ribcage.  Most likely thanks to my scoliosis my ribcage has been slightly squished.  As such the tip of the ribcage sticked out quite a bit further than it should, giving my chest a semi-exaggerated V shape.  One of the sides of my ribcage also sticks out further than the other, giving my overall torso a rather weird shape to it.  Me being as skinny as I am makes it relatively obvious, and is why I hate my weight so much.

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.

My flat chest make people take notice of me.

But wearing an A cup is an option to avoid it.

And my height. Some people think I am an extraordinally tall woman, but others think I am a crossdresser. This problem is minimized when I am in the U.S. or European countries.

Quotefeaturs about your body that bother you the most?

None.  I'm perfect!  >  Kidding!    Seriously now, I would like to get my hips enhanced a bit.  Other than that, I am very satisfied with my appearance.

lol aside from my crotch?

um,my weight, im not terribly happy with it, apparently i look MUCH lighter... it still bothers me... probably my jaw, i think its far too wide, other than that im ok i guess.

Here's mine. Huge feet, huge hands, huge chest, and last but not least, extremely wide shoulders.

receding hairline

i'd like to have a bigger butt but i'm ok with what i have.  ha ha ha ha ha  he hasn't complained yet

That's easy. The 46" chest and broad shoulders to match. I wouldn't mind if it was 30 years younger too.

Karen Lyn

I'm 5'6'' but I wanna be taller.  like 5'8'' or 5'9'' thats it.  I ask nothing more

butt.  it used to be my best feature.  now after 4 months of hrt, its like... i dunno.  kinda saggy.

ohhh, I haven't taken any hormones yet and was hoping that when I did, it would make my butt more shapely. Does it make everyone's butt saggy?

Do you take hormones? I'm concerned about my weight too, not because I don't like overweight people but because male and female bodies arrange the fat deposits differently. I'm hoping once I start my hormone therapy, I will have a skinny waste and shapely hips.

Hmmm...a tough question. I would have to start with the fact my skins burns very very fast due to the amount of antibiotics I take normally since im prone for any kinda infection. I would do anything to get rid of my coffee and chocolate allergies just for one day so I can actually see what people see in them (I have been allergic since birth and have had near death experiences with them both). The fact that I will soon go bald severely bothers me. Other than that I love my body and how it looks/feels.

The bit I hate is the bit below the tummy line under the belly button to the pubic area, when I view myself side on it is such a male profile (of course the appendage doesn't help matters in this area!).  My tummy goes out and then in, then straight down, ugh!
A blogger on youtube said that this area swells out in time on hormones with extra fatty deposits to give a more female profile.  I hope so.

Height (length of body included ie like arms and stuff), chin, and size of hands and feet here

yeah im on hrt, coming on 11 months now...
its not that drastic, not that fast, you ahve to loose the weight, then gain it back in the hips etc.... you dont instantly get a thin waist, yeah its a lot smaller and very obviously a waist, but im more concerned about my weight on my arms, tummy, and thighs, which ALL girls get and is infuiatingly hard to shift ><

Me too. I'm 5'5". I'd love to be tall. I have two friends who've transitioned - one is six feet tall and the other is six three. Really jealous of them.

Dennis

I'm quite happy with my looks but I would like to have the same height of Dennis or Chris.  I'm 5'8''.  Not too bad but..
