It (and I CANNOT POSSIBLY stress this enough) is not that simple. Breasts get in the way more then a dick ever will. Softer skin, yes, which also means more prone to abrasions, bruises, and snagging on things. Some people might feel less threatened, but also, if you're not classically attractive, you're often either invisible, or a target for ridicule. Media will continue to show you "what you should be", and even if you match the body image, it's never enough.
There are good things about being a woman, or transitioning to be one, I'm not going to list them. I assume you probably have other reasons to consider such a course of action (assuming that's even something you're considering; if not, never mind 😅)

Alright sorry I posted that

And please don't take any of this as meaning you shouldn't be a girl if that's what you want. For a lot of trans women, it really is easier to be a woman, it's just not because dick vs boob.

Hey no need to be sorry, but I accept if you're feeling it. Sorry if my tone was harsh. Still haven't had any coffee today

i mean besides the physical effects like getting bruised etc, a lot of what you listed is simultaneously true for both genders. you dont think men are regularly battered about their own self image? unless you consider our socialization of taking abuse and keeping our cool as normal then i can attest to being affected by seeing “what you should be”
