I appreciate your... enthusiasm... but that is incorrect. I do have a female body; however, despite my reproductive organs and hormones, I am male.
I would like to state that I am definitely no expert in biology or chemistry, but as I understand it, currently the most widely accepted theory of gender and sex development is that in transgender individuals, the brain is exposed to an amount of estrogen/androgens that is disproportionate to what the rest of the body is exposed to in utero. Therefore the brain is indeed male or female, whether or not this corresponds with the body.
Of course, the things I've stated become more complex when it comes to nonbinary and intersex individuals, but that doesn't pertain to my post, seeing as I'm neither.
Below are a couple articles that you may find useful if you'd like to educate yourself further. If not, then please do not reply to my posts offering your own views instead of the advice and support I asked for.
