I know that I'll never be perfect as the real women's are

Even the genetic women aren't perfect women.  You have to realize that everyone is different and there is no unobtainable level of perfection than only genetic women can reach.  Just be yourself.  As the cat in the hat (movie version) says, "there is a third option".  Nobody considered not taking either choice and just being yourself or just doing it without the options offered.  If you notice, the fairy princess never said you had to take the options, they were only offered.

I like the way you look on this and must say that I do agreed with you Melissa. 

OK. I'll add my 2 cents to this. I would choose to be the "unattractive" woman. Although it's very much a cliche', the first step to beauty comes from inside. Feeling good about yourself can overcome an awful lot of physical limitations. Having lived in a body all my life that is both physically and emotional unattractive, I know that 1 out of 2 would be a big improvement.

Oh! To be a woman! What more Do I need to be?

Woman, after a little work it'll be all good.

But most of all, KIDS!

Looking at some of the replies made me think of the support group I just started going to. Nice girls, but some of them look a little beat up to be honest. Just careless about their looks, bad hair, messed up teeth. They seem to have that same self neglect that men cultivate as part of their carelessly rugged self image. Weird, because most GGs I know take much better care of themselves. Yes it's their trip, but I don't get it, why take the risks and go to the trouble if you don't want to keep it looking good?
To me, becoming a woman is the most miraculous thing in the world, the pearl of great price. I'm sure going to honour that in every way that says cherish.

My teeth had always bothered me... everyone I looked at seemed to have these perfectly straight, brilliant teeth. It made me feel horrible comparing myself to them. So I spent a ton of money (for me) and "fixed" them. And wouldn't you know it, now when I look around it seems they really weren't any worse than everyone else's, lol.

I dunno, it just seems that perception and self-image are curiously playful things sometimes.

With out a doubt I would have to choose the woman; I'm already short and fat, although I do not consider myself ugly but as a woman there is still a lot to be desired and acne well there are doctors. For me the ability to be 100% GG I would a true dream come true.

The woman -- the fixes have already been stated in this topic.

As I was having my epiphany, there were three questions I read that really had an effect on me and kind of showed me who I am in a way I couldn't hide frome any more:

(I'm paraphrasing here...)

1.  You will be re-conceived and re-born.  Nothing will change about you except before this happens, you get to choose your body's gender.  What will you choose?

2.  Same as above, except that whichever gender you choose, you will be totally that gender.  In other words, you will be completely comfortable in that gender with no gender dysphoria.  What will you choose?

3.  When you die, which gender do you wish to be remembered as?

My answer came up female, three for three.  That pretty much settled it for me.

I have been thinking long and hard about this...

I would choose being the unattractive woman.  I am coming to realize that this is who I truly am inside.  I would rather have my physic match my psyche than be in discord.

The weird thing is when people read you based on your inner state. The other day I had come from my therapists and needed to be alone, so I was leaned up against a rail staring out into the Gulf waters off St Petersburg's city pier. A tourist kid says teasingly, in my direction"Look at the giiirl." His father shut him down with,"That's not a girl, that's a boy." Wonder what that kid saw, because I was mm and not fem in the slightest. It's like being "Mammed." People apologise, but inside, it makes you feel good. But again I wonder if they're sorta seeing with on a low volume telepathy setting, versus using their eyes.

P.S.  but I wouldn't mind to be beautiful too.

I'll take the woman!  My friend asked me a very similar question and I said to her "If given a choice, I'd rather live as a woman!"
