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

I like being a dude but why roll the same char twice?
Because hard mode is too much work tbqh
I find it almost impossible to imagine myself as a man, but no periods + male privilege sounds nice.
100% this.
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 hear that, sistah.
Hell no. I’ve seen what women go through from periods to harassment to abortion rights and I do not like it one bit. I’d rather be comfortable.
Are you comfortable in a world that does that to women, though? Not the periods obviously, the harassment and disappearing freedom.
It’s not happening to me, even though I have other struggles, so yes? I’m not sure what you’re asking.
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.
We going full luck build boys!
C’mon son of a billionaire!
Wish granted, you are now the son of Elon Musk.
Hell no, I’m glad that I’m a man. I think being woman sucks.
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.
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
Hell no, I want to try having a dick.
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.
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.
Reborn as a cat is the only correct answer
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.
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
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.
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 !
I love this!
Meh I’m pretty indifferent.
Why would I choose twice the work at less pay?
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.
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.
Can’t say I’ve ever had to wrangle it but sometimes it gets stuck to one side and that isn’t great
