I thought about these questions thoroughly before, and the answer to the first three is a resounding yes, otherwise I wouldn’t be presenting as a woman now in the first place.
As for the fourth one, that depends on what we mean by “stereotypically”. If I were to design myself a body closely reflecting my inner self (I don’t say ideal, because I don’t think there’s a single optimized appearance for me), it definitely wouldn’t be oversexualized, and maybe I’d downplay some stereotypically feminine characteristics—for example, settle on below-average breasts, and remain tall, although perhaps not as tall as I’m now.
(nods) You’re answering the question I meant; I used “stereotypically female” as shorthand, rather than getting into a whole discussion of what counts as a female body.
And in retrospect, yeah, I was restating things I could probably have inferred from your post were already clear to you. Sorry about that.
