I voted no, only because I don't believe you can "become" a female by throwing money on the table. That is, with money you can change your appearance to look like a female, but you can't change what's inside your head.

For those that feel they are already female (such as a pre-op TS), changing their body is a question of adapting their external look to their inner-self, and therefore they are not becoming a female either, as they are already female, just with the wrong bodily features.

Of course, there are also those who feel more male, or mixed-gender, and have SRS to change their body to look female. They are not becoming female either, because they don't have a balanced mind and body view of a female (nothing wrong with that, by the way).

Had you asked the question, "Would you have preferred to be born female?" I would have answered a resounding yes! That is, my crossdressing is related to the fact that I love female clothing, makeup, jewelry and so on, not forgetting the beauty of the female form, and I would have loved to be able to experience what it is like to be a real girl.
