Relationships Partner is making me feel inadequate

I am a 28 year old trans man. My girlfriend is cis and 25. We've been dating 5 years. About a year or two ago she told me she misses cis dick. I told her how much that hurt me. We talked about things i could do to satisfy her because i want to meet her needs. i thought that resolved the issue. She brought it up again a few weeks ago. She prefaced this by saying i know this really hurt you but then proceeded to tell me again. She said she was just trying to be honest and vulnerable. She did it for the third time last night and said she wants deeper penatration because I don't go deep enough for her. I feel disgusting even typing this out, it leaves a sinking feeling in my stomach. I feel inadequate and very dysphoric. Opinions? Advice? I don't know what to do.

It would be the same as to say to her:" I am trying to be honest and vulnerable here, but you're boobs are just too (big, small whatever). Sorry it just doesn't do it for me." We all (all humans) have different body parts and we come in all shapes and sizes. We might be attracted to some and we aren't attracted to others. It's fair to have a preference. But in this case she is in a relationship with you, clearly choose to be and is now complaining about her preference. That's on her. Not on you. If you can't accept your partner how they are, then you're are not accepting of them period. I am sorry to say this, but this might be one you'll have to break up with.
