I wonder how many of you, FTMs, are ok with your female genitalia or at least not very dysphoric about it.

Um, the ->-bleeped-<-? That's kind of an inflammatory post title.

If you'd said it in spanish would it be maybe less crazy?

I don't hate my genitalia. I desperately wish for something better, something more accurate, but I love the hell out of what I've got. Humans don't live all that long, and we don't get a lot of say in our physical configuration. Making do is perfectly respectable.

I identify as male, thus my genitalia are male.

I'm not that bad about it, but if I could choose I'd rather not have it. And I do pack whenever I can because I need to feel and see my bulge down there.

Not really.  It's sort of out of sight, out of mind for me.  I tend to forget that it's there, so really what I'm lacking bothers me a lot more than what I have.

I don't consider it to be female... Just because it isn't the same as what cis-guys have doesn't make it any less male. I'm a guy, so that means my entire body is male, regardless of whether I'm pre-op, post-op, or non-op. 

I don't hate it, and couldn't care less about what kind of junk I have. I never pack because I just don't feel the need to. I don't plan on getting that surgery done, and probably wouldn't even if it was 100% guaranteed to end up exactly like a cis-guy's, with no complications or whatever.

Why is it inflamatory? I just want to know.  I don't think it can be any confusion in translating that title into spanish or english. It just means what it means.

I think in the sence of you calling it female while some guys don't see their genitalia to be female since they see themselves as a guy. I suppose some might be offended by it.

^This.
I'd appreciate it if you would refrain from labeling my junk for me. 

people here get so butt hurt over things that don't really matter at all, it's a wonder they can actually survive in life being the drama queens they are
and I don't particularly care about them, not getting surgery because what they can do now just makes it looked messed up

No.

I hate having parts that are typically attached to a female.

I don't see what the big deal with the title is. This is the female to male area. I don't see how having a male identity makes you physically male.  Mental and physical gender are two different things. If they were the same then how could anyone be trans?

Seems you hit the nail on the head Sharky :-)
Whether one dislikes or even hates one's 'parts' will per se not change reality -  as much as at least one poster over here would like to have it.

Of course it does keep the 'wolf from the door' of all these nasty non- and pre- vs post-op MtF posts,  when every one over here (FtM) thinks they all the same pre- non- or post-op. All male genitals, easy peacy, no?

Looking at it this way this fantasy does have it's merits though, - short of creating ones own private reality, but on step away from needing some serious help.

I used to hate it with a burning passion that paralleled the fire of a thousand suns.

Then I started using home made STPs, packing, and other methods of masturbation. Now it only bothers me when I'm on that special time of month, or when I'm in the shower.

If I did have balls down there, I think I'd probably be infertile by now because of all the horseback riding incidents and falls I've had that ave targeted that region. lol

But I don't plan on getting Bottom surgery because the end result isn't something that would help me feel more comfortable in my body.

This whole idea is really complicated for me to explain. When we're born doctors label us one way or the other based mostly by looks. It's not consensual, just as people saying that trans men are all really women are going the same. You should be the one defining your body.

On top of all that...if trans men are considered female, and having female parts then when are we male enough?

Nope. As someone else said, out of sight out of mind. I don't pay my nether regions any attention. This might change when I become sexually active one day, maybe then my dysphoria will heighten, but we'll see. I mean I'd rather have been born with what society deems 'male genitals', but I'm also not too bothered by the fact that I ended up with this instead. It's just there and I can deal with it.

After a year and a half on T everything down there has changed dramatically.  It all seems masculine because I can see and feel myself get hard.  In fact sometimes I get hard for no reason at all and that' kind of annoying.  But in a good way of course but nothing like that ever happened before.

I have what looks like a cock head, small sure, but definitely similar.  I literally jerk it off instead of just rubbing for hours.  So it's all male for me.  Sure it's little but quite a few guys have miniature junk.  It's not ideal but it does it's job so I can't say that I'm not happy.

same.

I hate being reminded what I don't have over what I do; I assume that tends to go hand in hand though in some cases.
My chest honestly bothers me more though since it's more readily visible.
I tend to get envious when other male-identified people go shirtless in public - I am forced to realize that this something I can't do just yet.
