SpoilerIt's ok to be a girl if you want to be a girl!
Cauchemar had a great article the other day about gender euphoria (I'll see if I can find a link), but the gist of it was something I agree with 100%, you don't have to be defined by DYSphoria to be trans. You can go with an identity that makes you happy. Related, it's ok to have whatever mix of parts or hormones make you happy.
I realize this probably doesn't help any with the real world presentation concerns, but if nothing else, online among friends is a fairly safe place to test how you feel about identifying as a certain gender.
I feel like I should also post some genderfeels since I'm putting my 2 cents into the conversation but they're probably not very interesting

Spoiler I'm a girl. Sometimes I feel more or less indifferent about that, sometimes that feels like something really important to me. And though I've often found myself annoyed with various bits of my body or sexism as it exists in the world, the basic idea that I=Girl has always been something that felt pretty darn correct. I've always enjoyed fiction with non-skeevy transformation, and think it would be fun to experience a different body, though I would be very upset if there were no way to revert to my original form.
