To this only yourself can answer, as nobody else can tell (for definite) who you are. Your perception of yourself may be correct, or it may be not correct (as it was the case with some of the people I know).
In a way you look similar to the original poster of this thread, this is why I thought that you may be TS, and that you just did not come to that conclussion yet. At least you show some of the traits attributed to TG.
Sympathetic psychoteraphist (if you can afford them) may help you find what the actual cause is for you wanting to have vaginoplasty.
Maybe you just want to have vagina because it is a fantasy (i.e. you do not actualy want it). Maybe it is expression of your identity, that you are not ready to accept in your conscious space (i.e. you are TS, but try to avoid admitting it as this would turn the whole of your world upside down).
.. or maybe you are somewhere in the middle - i.e. guy who really wants to have vagina (not mangina, as there are no such thing
In any case it would be good to find this out before (and if) you proceed with irreversible body alterations.
