Strap-ons don't really do it for me. As far as post-op, I am not really up to speed on how advanced these are, and how well they replicate a "homegrown" set. Full disclosure, I'm Aroallo, so my physical tastes take a much higher priority than emotional attachment and commitment. I would be a way better platonic friend than a "girlfriend."

Provided that the operations are perfectly done, my only hangup might be some remnants of my heteromisogynist upbringing. Do I want to feel like an alluring feminine mystery to someone who was never socialized with the "girlhood" experience, rather than "been there, hated it?" Maybe, and ironically I think that's more shallow of me than the genital compatibility.

That's a pity about Buck Angel. Haven't heard of him before. Idk if it's a self loathing mental health lashing out against your group thing (which I emphasize with, despite the clear harm) or a "pulling the ladder behind you" a la Blair White thing.
