Boobs get in the way because they wander into your way when you least expect. Clothes are expensive and lack pockets. Voice training is a pain. Makeup is spendy and tastes bad.

I'm still female.

It has nothing to do with a cost-benefit analysis.
You're answering Dire Moose's question pretty directly though -- because in DM's case the cost/benefit logic does apply as soon as they feel like it does, which they do.

In your case the answer was obviously "you're female, so, go ahead and transition".

In DM's case it's the opposite: if you find yourself weighing the pros and cons of each gender, then don't transition.
