So I'm a 5' tall female, I'm masculine in every way imaginable, including... I'm not into men, I'm into women.
and that's where the problems start
as a masculine 5 foot tall woman I get treated like I'm a 12 year old boy (I'm 21)
I have dated before, that's not on my mind, I don't care about doing this for dating, and men, please don't say "but men find 5' tall girls cute"
Men don't like being called cute.
I'm strongly considering doing leg lengthening, or when the technology is there getting my legs replaced with cyborg legs, I feel like it will give me a life changing chance at being respected and considered a human and not some "4'11" toy"
What would be the best options for me?
where do I start winging out where to get the procedure and what should I know about getting it?
how will the proportions work (my legs are very very short and the rest of me is normal/avrage) can I gain 10 inches?
So I'm a 5' tall female, but I want to be a man (trans)
To make it clear, are you transgender? Do you look like a boy/man?
This detriments which reply you will get from me.

I am, I haven't transitioned yet though because of my height and I know my life will get about 50% worse if I do at this height
No. You can't gain 10 inches. No one can

Yes, your life could indeed get worse as a man at your height.
I know someone you did what you are planning to do. The transmission took her many years to become him.
His height is ~167cm and he seems to be doing fine in life, as far as I can tell.
Somehow, he later looked younger as a man, than when he was still a girl 
Maybe it has something to do with his features being softer compared to the other guys.
But okay, regarding your questions:
Forget 10 inches, max. 5 inches spread across all four segments (femur and tibia) is more realistic.
But it depends on A LOT of factors from still having a female physiology, your personal flexibility and health and you proportions.
Also, the shorter you are, the less you can lengthen your legs (percentage-wise).
I think in the end, and if everything works well for you, you could be my current height.
But the truth is, that being male and at the lower end of 160cm life is still hell.
I once attempted suicide (I did it, but I was to stupid to do it properly and than they found me) because of it.
I'm not trying to scare you off LL, but it is a really hard, painful and long journey. Also expensive.
I'm just not sure if you could reach your personal goal to look more mature, because even I am still mistake for a boy when wearing a hoody.
People don't respect me at all, it's only because many know that I did LL that they at least have stopped making fun of my height.
What you could gain from LL is that you could buy pants without having to go the the children's department.
You could have more quality in daily life because everything made around us (at least where I live) is aimed for >160cm people like chairs, the shelves in the supermarket and so on.
Also, ~162cm would make you look more manly compared to your current height, but you will always be like 20cm away from average height, so the people will look at you either way.
10 inches is crazy. It's harder for you,since you want to be a man, but you cannot think to have an healthy recovery and don't looking like a monster, by lengthening 25 cms. The maximum you can aim for is 14-15 cms in two different operations. It sad,but there are limits to consider.
Has anyone considered (andd this isn't possible yet today)
replacing their legs entirely with cyborg legs?
or getting prosthetics?
I want to remove the bones from my legs/ removing other things... probably keeping the skin and the nervous system and instead getting cyborg legs/prothstetics?
Make yourself an amputee on purpose, what a great idea! I think you should consult a psychiatrist. I assure you, it won't solve your shortness, but will greatly help on reducing irrational, self-hating thoughts.
Hahahahah 
As much as I like the Idea (I'm all for Deus Ex), this wouldn't help you. It's your muscles, tendons and the nervous system which are limiting you. Not the bones.
You're 21, maybe HGH can still give you an inch or two.
And before you amputate your legs, better have some spinal discs replaced which can indeed be done and gain up to an additional inch.
Yeah 10 inches is out of the question, you'll literally look your legs are stilts and you most likely will never walk again. IF (and that's a big IF considering you went through puberty with your natural female hormones) you have a large torso compared to the usual for someone at 5" then you could maybe do 4 inches spread out by doing femurs+tibias. 5 inches might be a bit much. I'm a guy at 5'3 and I've got friend at similar height and while there are no perks to being this height I've never been oppressed or bullied or what have you at my height. It's fine, I personally want a couple more inches but if I never got them I'd be fine in life so aim for a reasonable goal of 4 inches or so.
If you're serious about the Cyborg legs thing... mate being trans is not a problem but actually considering cutting off your healthy legs for "cyborg" ones to be taller, that's a bit crazy.
