Psychiatrist 's  Response
This an issue with your gender identity. You need to consult a psychiatrist and a surgeon. Sex change procedure is quite complex and you need to undergo a detailed procedure, including a team of professionals, prior to that.
And of course there is nothing wrong in having a sex preference not going with your natural sex as people may tell you otherwise.
Let me know if you need more specific or any other information.
Regards,
Dr Arun
