May I share a few thoughts with you?
I am M to F and I am pre-op. I am blesseed with being two-spirited, living two lives, one in each gender, in the same body. Not everyone has that gift. Maybe I am out-of-touch with reality but here goes...
I was born with an undersized penis, one testicle not well-formed, and no motile sperm. I had hair all over me (including on my face), upper body muscles and male geometry, and a T level of over 600 (I recall 720 but I may err). I did not know about my genitals and sperm until I was married for five years and my ex wanted a baby so I was blissfully ignorant until then. Had I let that bother me I would have been totally destroyed as a male and unable to function sexually.
When I was a teenager I knew that I loved and worshipped girls and that I wanted to be the best guy in the world for the one who would call me "hers." Yes, I had a need to belong to a girl, and I learned a lot about how to be the best me that I could. I was not a huge guy, just 5 ft., 9.5 inches tall, 137 pounds, but I was determined to be a good catch.
To be the best me that I could in order to find a girl who would be mine and make me hers, I learned about manners, dating etiquette, the fine art of conversation, how to read and understand someone else's feelings, to cheer them up when blue, to hear them when they talked, and to listen sincerely.
Concerning sex, I read about the female response and took some cues from many sources. It was 1970 and info about sex was everywhere, so I read "The Sensuous Woman" by J; "The Sensuous Male" by M.;the Kama Sutra, and I assure you that I looked at the "Playboy Advisor" and other popular sources to learn how to please and in that way to be pleased myself.
My belief is that the largest, most important sexual organ for both genders is the brain, and that the genitals and other erogenous zones are merely ways of activating the brain. One need not have a penis to do that, I assure you, because the last thing I wanted to do was to penetrate my partner. I could have lived quite well without it and I didn't do it until she was about begging to feel penetration. I love foreplay and I have done it with my fingers, hands, tongue, breath, and nose, and I rarely failed to please.
Your partner is your business but if you decide to keep your female genitals and do T, and you have an enlarged clit, like maybe 1 to 2 inches of clit, guys and savvy women will beat a path to your door. Why? It is soooooo hot! If I had the opportunity to provide stimulation to the lucky transwoman who had one, I would get lost to the world in doing so.
Aesthetically an enlarged clit seems OK to me. Some cisgendered women have large ones and their photos are so femme.
I hope that this helps. In the event that it doesn't, and I get chucked-out of here for sharing what I have, I wish all of you gutsy guys all the best!

Even though I have no access to T for quite a while, I like debating such things in my head. And thus the big T debate. Shaving sounds fun, a lower voice is very much wanted, body hair would be hot, fat redistribution a blessing, and then comes the oh-so-wonderful clit growing aka production of a mini-penis.
I find myself thinking that maybe I'd prefer just to keep down there as is. As it is, I don't particularly like how penises look anyways, but they would be better than a vagina. But as a real penis is not an option, I find myself seriously thinking of not taking T, simply to avoid clitoral growth. Mostly because I would still like to get laid and a huge clit/mini penis seems like it would be a huge turnoff. And having parts that are "in-between" doesn't really appeal either. But I really want the rest of T's effects.
I wish there was a checklist option, just check off what you want and leave the rest alone.
Any thoughts?
