Chelsea, there is a whole lot more to womanhood that simply having the privilege of wearing cute clothing. Like you, I absolutely adore my female time, and I have long struggled with the thought of transition. But I had to come to the conclusion that for me, it was more about physically looking female, having the long hair and the breasts, and getting to wear dresses and high heels than it was about actually being a woman. I therefore realized that I'm not a woman trapped in a male body, but rather, a person who loves the feminine acoutrements instead. As a crossdresser, for me it's all about wearing dresses and presenting as a woman. But were I really transexual, it would be about a whole lot more than that.
This may not all be true for you. But ask yourself the tough questions, and try to be honest with yourself. If transition is for you, then you will be dealing not only with the realities of being a woman, but the stigmas of also being a transexual. Not all transexuals have to deal with this, if they pass really well as females to begin with. But many do have to deal with this as well. If all of that is a worthy trade for the pleasure of getting to live your life as a woman, then by all means, look into transition. But if any of the answers to all these important questions is no, then please reassess your needs and your life's outlook.
Being born a woman, as many females might well tell you, can be tough. But transitioning to become one, and having to live with the irreversable changes you'll go through as a result, is probably tougher.
