Brief Answer:
Be very careful before making any decision

Detailed Answer:
Hello
thanks for the query
you seem to be having Gender Dysphoria ie there is incongruence between assigned and experienced gender. You have a desire to get rid of the secondary sex characters and adopt those of the desired gender ie female so the diagnosis is very clear. This is an issue having huge psychological,social,financial ramifications so one has to think 100 times before deciding upon what is needed to do because once started, it is a irreversible process There is risk of side effects of medications, social taboos, and below expectation transformation , not compatible with sex life . I have seen some people managing married life and sex with females with intrapenile inj , penile prosthesis or even getting an erection by certain sensual fantasies , even with their wives . Yes, the guidelines say that to be examined by two psychiatrists to rule out psychiatric comorbidity. You can get your chromosomal analysis done from a good lab to see your genetic make up.

Brief Answer:
Contact Dr XXXXXXX

Detailed Answer:
Hello
The question is not related to supporting or not supporting you. this is a complex medico legal issue . I can't assess you online nor do I deal with transgenders . It is because we don't have competent surgeon at the moment. you can contact Dr XXXXXXX Krishnamurty in Hydrabad. he may be of help to you,
