Yet most men find it a deeply cutting insult to not be considered a real man.
I find it interesting that you are obsessed with women that have penises, as if you think that most trans women actually want to keep it and use it? Many trans-women have self mutilated to try and get rid of it in the past. Many transwomen in third world countries do just get it all off. I spoke to one that tried inflating it off with a shower hose when she was really young. Yet you have this idea that they are just waiting to get into bed with you and use it on you. If you had a leaking 6 inch wart sticking out your body that some people had sexual fetishes for it, you certainly would want rid of it, would be very wary of letting anyone see it in the changing room and would be very careful about having any partners. In fact many if not most transwomen just stay away from any kind of relationship while they are pre-op.
There are international standards that transgendered people have to adhere to before they are allowed the surgery to have full gender reassignment. This includes living a year full time in the gender that you profess to be. One surgeon in the UK was struck off for performing this surgery any earlier. The reason for this is to avoid giving life changing surgery to someone who is not meant to have it.
Secondly we are a mix of nature and nurture. So how you are treated by other people will also affect who you are. This is why gender dysphoria is a problem, because how you are treated is at odds with what you naturally feel that you are and whatever you do it never goes away. This is why living full time in your professed gender and being accepted or you feel that you are is the only cure. And letting people know that you have a penis is not going to help with that. It is also why referring to them in their birth assigned gender is so harmful, it nullifies everything about them and all the struggles they are putting up with. Just be honest with yourself and admit that you want to harm trans people because that's what you are doing. And that's no exaggeration. The attempted suicide rate amongst transgendered is over 40%, way above the suicide rate of LGB people.
Thirdly, if you had sex with a woman, you saw her as a woman, treated her as such and you both enjoyed the experience, where is the harm in that? How do you know that some women you have had sex with aren't actually post-op transwomen? Why would it make a difference finding out later on? Why would it scare you to know that you may never find out?
