If given a new life would you choose to be born the same sex that you were?
I mean like I accept who I was born as but if given the choice I’d choose to be born a woman, yk? Idk but I kinda envy them a bit but i’m fine being an unsexy man
Oh yes. I absolutely love being biologically female. Loved being pregnant, nursing kids, love the sexual response, periods were bad but the mirena IUD fixed that. I enjoy having a female body so much still.
The social restrictions can fuck right off, and I wouldn’t mind having the physical strength of a dude but not at the expense of having a body like this.
ETA: almost all the problems people downthread have with being female seem to be the fault of men, social problems not anything to do with having a female body. I don’t think you dodge those being male, you have sisters and moms and girlfriends and girl friends who are harmed by that discrimination.
Would switch. Prolly because I’m currently somehow straddling being transfemme and egg. Might depend on the time period though Not keen on being a woman in… most of history. Not really keen on being a man in general though.
I consider myself a woman, but I’m pretty apathetic about gender all told. I think I’d adjust to being male pretty well? It’d be weird and uncomfortable for a while and I’m sure I’d find things I’d miss about being a woman.
But between the male privilege and biological advantages (no periods, easier strength, etc), it sounds like a deal to me.
I’m an uber driver and had an ftm passenger in the car the other day. We got to talking about architecture and he was an absolute wealth of knowledge about the history of cities on the east coast.
Made me realize that I don’t see too many woman geeks. Like geeking out isn’t part of our society’s woman role.
I wondered if he transitioned so he could be a geek without social rejection.
Totally makes sense. I mean, it’s surely more than that, but that’s definitely a frustration.
I’m a woman who’s into video games, science stuff, tech things, tabletop roleplaying games (like DnD), etc, among other things. It’s not as bad as it used to be, but I definitely wasn’t properly welcome.
I was rarely told that I wasn’t welcome as a woman, but if, for example, I mention that I’ve been playing DnD for 10 years, it doesn’t exactly feel welcoming to have them try to take my dice to explain them to me.
Men practically never have to put up with that kind of bullshit, as I understand.
I like to change things up. But in this case, I’d have to come back as male again. Our work is not done when women are still facing constant danger and possible “gender-cide” with the likes of the taliban and the united states.
As a man in a country where it’s illegal to be transgender (including all other gender identities outside the gender binary; male and female), I’d honestly rather not be reborn at all, especially if I have to stay in the country I’m currently I’m.
And yes, I’ve been misgendered as a girl multiple times, both online and in real life. It pisses me out.
