You are not a good candidate for SRS because (as an evident fetishist) the chances for post-surgical regret would be assessed as high. You are not a good candidate because, changes to medical ethics notwithstanding, the guideline is still "first, do no harm" - and SRS is viewed as a mutiliation for any but a transsexual (for whom it is a correction). You are not a good candidate because you don't understand the consequences and therefore can't give informed consent.
SRS takes medical procedures considerably past cosmetic surgery. Because of that, the physician's personal and professional ethics have as big a role as do the prospective patient's wishes. That is why they don't let "guys like you" do whatever they want. Medicine (at its best, at least) is based on evidence and outcome-based practices and standards. At this point, a man acquiring a female habitus doesn't quality.
In other words, you are not a good candidate.
