I'm afab and if the surgery was possible for turning what I have into a fully functioning dick, I would have done it by now.

Basically I'm comfortable with my perceived gender, I just wish how I see myself mentally when I think about sex, matched up to what I've got in my pants. I've felt this way since I was a young teenager too, so it's not a phase or a fetish, it's how I've wanted to present sexually for most of my life.

Does this disconnect I'm talking about just fall under the non-binary trans umbrella? Or is it a seperate thing?

Are there any other people here who feel this way?

(Phalloplasty does not appeal to me. The surgery is brutal, it doesn't look right (to me) when it heals, it isn't functional how I would want it to be, and it isn't sensitive like a dick.)

Being trans isn't just about surgeries.

Oh, for sure. I definitely am more comfortable with myself, my labels, and my preferences now. But when that egg first cracked, I felt like I wasn't worthy of the label because of some criteria. That's why I mentioned that there isn't really a right way to be trans or enby, it's often different from one person to the next
