IamtheMorgz,

This is how I feel about my gender now. I’m AFAB and mostly fine with it. In my 30s so don’t feel like I can opt out at this point without some major major sacrifices. But if I could start again I’d be a dude, even if I was still AFAB. I sort of envy kids that got to grow up hearing that switching was an option, but then I think about the state of everything else and I figure I still probably got the better deal.

KestrelAlex,

When I think of growing up female again, but in the current time, it sounds terrible, but then I think of growing up male inbhe current times and it seems awful too, so I think I have to tick the “neither box” and accept I’m too old for this modern shit in any gender form.

weeeeum,

Reborn as a cat is the only correct answer

Thorny_Insight,

Yes but not if you’d ask the 15 year old me. I’m glad nobody asked.

Yea, I would change sex for a second time around. I wanna try it out. I am also the kind of person who don’t order the same kind of pizza every time.

Teach me your ways, oh wise one.

isthingoneventhis,

Is having… no gender an option? Boobs are a hassle, I can’t fathom dealing with having to wrangle a dick into pants, I just kind of want to be a human without having to deal with either.

eatthecake,

I wonder what an androgynous body would feel like. My body is full boobs and hips, which is fine, but wholly unimportant to my identity. I think i would like the freedom of not being seen as boobs. I’m pretty genderless in my head.

isthingoneventhis,

Yeah I feel that.

Daxtron2,

Can’t say I’ve ever had to wrangle it but sometimes it gets stuck to one side and that isn’t great

I'm trans so that's an easy no

RazorsLedge,

Don’t you mean easy yes? If you’re born male, but identify as female, wouldn’t you want to be born female so you don’t have to do the whole trans thing?

Alexstarfire,

I’d choose not to be born. Or maybe wait 100 years to see how things changed.

PlantJam,

Imagine skipping from 1920 to 2020…

don,

I don’t know why I’d ever willingly choose a life so fraught with sexism and sexual assault. Women pass by me all the time as though I don’t exist, and I’m absolutely fine with that.

I’m already OP being a white male and this game is still hard as fuck. No way I’m doing a challenge run. I’d just redistribute my stats to min max my dude.

C’mon son of a billionaire!

Wish granted, you are now the son of Elon Musk.

pete_the_cat,

IDK I’m a dude and women have to deal with a lot of shit both socially and physically… But boobs are great.

BruceTwarzen,

I would like to play tinder with cheat codes as well

trxxruraxvr,

On one hand yes, on the other hand, chances of getting date raped would also be a lot higher. As a white male I’m basically playing life with cheat codes.

StellarExtract,

Opposite, no question. I don’t hate being AMAB, and there are parts I like, but a lot of aspects of it are really boring to me. Lack of clothing options/self-expression being a big one. It’s frankly always felt like a box I’ve been forced into even though parts of it fit well. That said, I’d probably feel the same if I were AFAB, just about different aspects. I don’t want to transition in my current life, but I’d definitely switch in a new life.

RegalPotoo,
@RegalPotoo@lemmy.world avatar

Same boat- AMAB, and no dysphoria with that at all, but yeah, a little jealous of women’s fashion options.

It’s taken me until my mid thirties, but things I’ve come to realise:

  • There are a bunch more options for women - entire categories of garments that aren’t socially applicable for men to wear - but a lot of that comes from a much wider variance in body shape for women. There are plenty of things that just don’t work if you aren’t a size 12 B-cup with a conventional body shape. A cropped top is just as off limits if you are a woman with a bit of a tummy or D+ cup breasts as it is for men
  • There are options for men, but they aren’t always as obvious, and often end up looking more formal - try different shoes, different coloured belts layering things (open shirt over a t-shirt etc)
  • Most men (and I’m super guilty of this) don’t get a haircut as often as they should. There is a whole world of options and styles, try some out, find one you like from a barber you have a rapport with, go regularly to keep it looking good
Twitches,

Completely agree, you can wear a dress, leggings, a blouse, style your hair, but, I’m sitting hear in my boring uncomfortable pants and t shirt. I completely agree with everything your saying.

pete_the_cat,

There’s this girl I found a while back that posts on GoneWild and OF (ForestGreen91) and she can completely change her look just by styling her hair differently and putting on some makeup. It can change her from a 5 to an 8.5 easily. It’s actually quite impressive.

I live in Miami now and it’s a very fashionable city, all the women look sexy as hell with different style dresses, shoes, accessories, and hair styles. All the guys largely look the same, myself included.

Twitches,

This is about how it goes.

bighatchester,

Nothing is forcing you to dress that way . I wear a skirt a few times and they are very comfy. Also I really enjoy some colorful nail polish! Do what ever you want it’s your life!! I’ve been in drag a few times too , one time my gf gave me a classic Harley Quinn look and she dressed as the Joker !

Twitches,

I love this!

FoxyFerengi,

I would definitely never choose to be born a woman again. I’ve had some really terrible things happen to me because of my birth gender, and while I know some of them can and do happen to men, they wouldn’t be in the same context.

My life has been quite a lot better since I stopped presenting as a woman. Testosterone made me really sick, so I’ll never be able to present as a man, but the middle ground is good enough for me

I'd like to try something new.

GlitterInfection,

On the one hand I would have loved to be able to be a parent, which doesn’t look likely in this life as a 40 something gay man.

But on the other hand, if I was me but a woman, I would probably have dozens of children by now.

So, no, I’d stay as a gay man if I could choose.

Deceptichum,
@Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works avatar

Not hugely fussed about my gender, but I’d take the dozens of children route.

Can’t even get myself knocked up and be a single parent 😞
