Gender identity is the personal conception of oneself as male, female, both or neither. So it's basically how you perceive yourself? I see myself as female, and would see myself as female regardless of my birth sex.

But what is a female to you? And what is a male? You've never told us that. The closest thing to a definition that you gave us was something about comfort with the sex related features of your body. And that because you're female you'd freak out if you had a penis, something that many "trans women" would find transphobic (because most of them aren't distressed by their penises and, in fact, most do keep them).
