That's pretty much what I was getting at. That most Trans* women are either happy with their penis, or more likely pretty neutral about it. I'll wager that a minority of women have a driving urge to be rid of the "offending" part. I think that both the TG community in the west as well as governments maintain that SRS is the only "real" way to be a woman. This is a shame since it leavs out the many women I mentioned before.
You know, it took me a long while to be used to the idea that my penis could be "feminine". But, I really do see it as part of my body that I at least don't hate - goodness knows I have plenty of other body party to obsess over and rive myself crazy trying to perfect
(I'm allowed I'm a woman). I do still vew topping as THE quintessential male act. I just can't, and never could brng myself to do it. I get a little light-headed typing about it....
But my penis is as girly as my boobs and my hands and my plumping bottom and my shrinking stomach. I guess I'm on a kick lately where I love a transsexual body. One that isn't perfectly rounded, one that has a smallish breasts and a thickish middle, one that looks like a lovely trans* woman. Redefining beauty on my terms based on my body. So it has become important to love the parts of me while being mindful of health and my ability to alter most of it to make me feel more comfortable.
