Honestly, what does "I feel like a women inside" mean? You want to look like a woman? isn't that similar to people wanting smaller noses, bigger breasts, thicker penises? Why is the line drawn only when I want my body parts to look more feminine? All fine by me of course, everyone is free to do what they want with their body I am just wondering how wanting female genitalia is different from wanting other body parts to look different .

I am a man I don't feel like "a man inside". I don't feel anything. I am just me.

Why are we defining ourselves with superficial terms?

Ofcourse a straight man understands the pain of a transgender woman living inside a man's body.  :S

I don't understand, that's why I am asking, what's the difference between:

1.A woman who feels trapped inside an ugly woman's body and wants to have plastic sugery

2.A woman who feels trapped inside a man's body and wants to have plastic surgery

 

Both are living in bodies they don't like, both crave to look different. 



 

The problem is in your wording.  You don't say an ugly woman who wants plastic surgery is really a "pretty woman trapped inside of an ugly body." No, she's just a woman who wants to get her body cut and chopped to make it look a way she feels is better. So in the same way a man who wants to get his body chopped up to look more like a woman is just that. He's not a "woman trapped inside a man's body", that's just silly talk. No matter what parts he gets cut and stitched, he's still genetically a man, just a man that had a doctor cut him up a bit.

 

And yes, both people are free to do whatever makes them happy.
