Discussion Would you like to change your gender?

[a.hamza.13]

Do you love your gender? If you're a female, would you like to be a male? If you're a male, would you like to be a female? What about being a trans person?

 

[1MiserableGuy]

Yes, but no real actual desire to do so, only because females live life on easy mode

 

[sserafim]

I don't love my gender; it's just okay. I don't like being female but it's not something that I actively think about. It just is. I wouldn't change my gender even though men have more power in society because Asian men are allegedly the least attractive. I'd like to be a hot, rich and successful white male in my next life though

 

[innominesatanas44]

I am grateful to be a man. My sister was preyed on at 12 years old.

 

[EvisceratedJester]

I'm fine with my gender, so no. Being a woman is something that just clicks for me. It feels right.

 

[not-2-b-the-answer]

No.... I like to piss standing up.

 

[damienlerone]

No.... I like to piss standing up.

couldn't say it better

I'm pretty comfortable in my skin as a man, so I wouldn't want to change, but it's hard not to consider the advantages of the other side.

I know the grass is always greener and I don't understand the difficulty girls have. I sincerely believe women are more valuable and society is starting to clue into that. I just wonder what it's like to have constant attention instead of rejection in those teenage/college years. I mean at this point I'm pretty successful, reasonably good looking, and I have a partner - so I know someone is able to love me, but my confidence is still low - particularly around attractive women.

I know it's a me problem, but it is interesting to think about.

I don't care about attention. I want absolute power. Men have more power than women. That is true, and it can't be denied. I would rather be feared than loved

Men may have more power at the top, but I'm talking about regular people. And you can absolutely wield a type of power over men who are interested in you.

But why would you want power, anyway? Sounds like a lot of work.

(Also it could be you don't care about attention because you don't know what it's like without it.)

 

[gogoprince]

I'm hopefully beginning the process of transitioning to female soon. There are definitely some practical advantages to being a man that come into pretty stark relief when you start even socially transitioning to female: some good, some bad. For example, my personal privacy feels like non-existent now. It doesn't feel like I can fade into the background and just be left alone, like I could when I was dressing like my assigned gender. Something about that takes away the guard you put up as a man because, especially being a trans woman, you feel like there's no use even putting up the guard in the first place if you're going to be sexually harassed or gawked at so often.

thats actually not true. everyone lives on a hard mode, you might just focus on things that may be an issue for you as a man that might not apply to women, but we have different type of life difficulties that u might never suffer from in yours. you might want to look at it from a different perspective for better understanding.

Get a load of Norah Vincent. Journalist so convinced it was the other way around (men living life on easy mode) that she performed a social experiment where she intended to take on the role of a man for two years and report her results. She was so disturbed to find out that it's actually women who live on easy mode instead of men that she aborted the experiment halfway through it and ctb'd over it.

 

[tunnelV]

I'm fine with being female but no I don't love my gender as in random other strange women. I don't trust women anymore than men either.

 

[cosmic-freedom]

Yes.I would love to be a male. I wouldn't have to live everyday thinking about my safety.

 

[HereTomorrow]

I don't love being a woman, though I'm a very masculine woman and I'm okay with that. I can't imagine myself being a man however, I love my voice and looks that are very feminine and I don't want to give up that.

 

[leavingthesoultrap]

No I dislike both genders.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

No way. I live with my mom and two sisters and I know that the menstrual cycle alone is already reason enough to not envy being a woman at all. It's awful when it starts for the first time. It's awful even when it ends for good. It's awful every single month for a whole week so the nightmare is actually every three weeks.

Forget societal roles or privileges in dating or the fact that women aren't as expendable as men in combat, any perceived advantage they may have is absolutely trounced by periods and everything about them. No matter how much of a lonely incel I am, and no matter how submissive or feminine people say my personality is like, I wouldn't want to be a woman because of periods alone. I find it crazy that over half of all people who've ever lived have been forced to deal with it for millions of years.

 

[Agon321]

Definitely not.
I wouldn't want to be a woman at all.

I am a man and I am happy about it.
In my opinion, being a woman has more disadvantages than being a man.

Probably if I was born a woman, I would have a different perspective... but luckily I'm not a woman ;)

 

[Forever Sleep]

I don't enjoy being female. I don't like periods, I don't like the stereotypical beauty standards placed on both men and women. Some of the inequalities that still exist piss me off- the difference in pay for example. I don't like misogyny. I could do with being stronger for my job too and I think it's easier to gain muscle as a guy.

There again, I don't want to be male much either. I suppose I prefer the male physique because I'm straight but, I wouldn't want a dick! That just doesn't appeal at all.

Really, I'm grateful at least to be female in the era we are in and in the country I'm in. I reckon I must have quite a high proportion of male hormones or whatever because I've never been a girly girl. I'm grateful that's at least more accepted now. Plus, I'm so grateful I'm not female in a country where sexual assaults are almost guaranteed.

I guess I think it would have been better if I had been born male but, I've no huge desire to be one. I wish both genders would be more sympathetic to the other though. I think incels do have fair complaints about their difficult lot in life but I'm so sick of reading how 'easy' it's supposed to be to be female by them. I truly hope they get reincarnated female to find out.

I wouldn't want to be trans. I feel like they have such a tough time in life. To an extent, maybe it's more accepted now but there's still lots of prejudice. Plus, it's awful to hate your own body. I expect most of us experience that to some extent. I imagine it's magnified enormously for trans people.

I also want the same.

 

[cupcakesandmilk]

Maybe I would; I don't really know, but in all honesty, I wish I was neither... Biological inconveniences aside, I find gender roles to be really suffocating, not helped by the fact that I come from a third-world country.

 

[Konnsz]

I wouldn't change it, i love having balls lol

 

[halleyscomet]

Ideally I would like to be a genderless being that could also conveniently piss while standing up.

lmao evolution's greatest creation for us humans wasn't the brain but was to piss while standing up, this is a smart idea

 

[dogbreath]

I hate both women and men. Both are awful and disgusting. Would change my gender to be like a snail. I think snails are both?

except life isnt a social experiment and everyones life differ.

 

[BecomingTired]

Do you love your gender? If you're a female, would you like to be a male? If you're a male, would you like to be a female? What about being a trans person?

No. If you mean in the sense of transitioning, it'll honestly only make me feel far worse about myself and ostrocised me further. If you mean in a biological sense, still no. My problems are far more deep-rooted to be solved by switching genders

I don't care about attention. I want absolute power. Men have more power than women. That is true, and it can't be denied. I would rather be feared than loved

You like wanting to be feared? I understand the want for power but, I struggle to understand why you'd want to live out your days feared by people. It isn't an empowering feeling when most people avoid you after a while, all that is left is the realisation that you purposely ostracized yourself from others, and the wave of depression that follows realising that it is the exact same as before from experience... I feel like you just want equal footing, which is again understandable

 

[RosebyAnyName]

Honestly, no. I despise being seen as a woman by others (rapeable and abuseable, and I fear that that's all anyone can see me as because I am female), but the devil you know over the devil you don't know. I've already been so thoroughly conditioned to "act feminine" that I'd fail as a man at this point.
On the contrary, I think if I were just born male right from the beginning, I wouldn't even think about it. It would just be my reality at that point.

 

[J&L383]

I think either gender is a drag (not my quote), but I would change it because I'm bored with life in general and maybe it would be interesting to feel other things for a change. But if I did change genders I would probably be gay rather than hetero, or perhaps bi, unless the gender change includes a sexual recalibration of your brain.
