If and when you go the GCS route, there really isn't a whole lot you can do. In my case, I just try and look at my penis/scrotum as just being the pieces that will eventually be recycled/reused and made into the vulva.
It does suck to have to wait, yes it does. I look at it this way, your genitalia whether it is considered male or female is essentially made up of the same nerves and tissues, but just arranged differently.
