It is easier to remove the penis, than it is to add one.

It is all to do with baby growth in the womb. The 'default' for a baby is female, it is only when a certain hormone (not sure what it is, but i would hazard a guess at testosterone) is released that the genitals then begin to take shape, and the brain becomes 'male'. However the hormone sometimes only affects the body and not the brain, therefore you have a female brain in a male body. Thus the man feels that he is trapped within the wrong body and wants to have a sex change so he can finally feel that the body matches the brain.
(I don't know how the foetal brain of a female can be made male, unless it's just a mistake, genes were told to release the hormone when they weren't supposed to.)

I think... a man's body is all about being "hard." Larger muscle mass, and of course, the penis, hard when erect. And if the male identifies as a female, then he must either endure this hardness, or possibly yearns for the physical softness to match the emotion.
Now... let's take a nice hard butch, a stone butch, a high testosterone female. She can work out, bulk up, and... strap on. She can "assimilate" the changes she desires... where the male... needs either hormones or surgery.

Because it is better to give than receive
