I want a daughter?

[Wild Flower]

Has anyone ever wanted a child but as your true sex?

All of a sudden I want a daughter. I'm not going to have one obviously, but I could adopt one. Really not now though, not ready for one at 19 lol.

It's a weird feeling.

Yup. I don't really care what gender my child is, but I definitely want 1.

I feel cheated that I never had the chance to experience pregnancy or motherhood. I do wish I'd been able to transition a lot earlier in life but I would not give up my three daughters to do it. They are the loves of my life...   

I hope you are able to adopt and have a family of your own. Despite all the money, time, frustration, etc., it was worth all of it. Sometimes, it almost brings me to tears just looking at my 6 year old as she sleeps. So perfect, like a little angel. Ok, gotta quit this or I may cry at work!  lol

Yes I do. Since I know I cannot have a child, I settled for having a niece. I practically prayed (but not really ;-) that my brother's child would be a girl, and it was, and I was happy ^.^

I did, and I got one. She's nuts, totally crazy. 

I can't not love her, though. I think that's illegal  Haha! J/K, we play dress up and stuff, it's awesome!

Heh, although i would love a daughter i think i would worry about her a lot more then a son. 

My friend put it best:
"If you have a son you only have to worry about one penis, if you have a daughter, you have to worry about everyone else's penis"

but either or, the child will be loved, not choosy.

I totally relate to that. As a gay man I kind of excepted that I wouldn't have a child, and also never really desired one of my own.
I was always good with kids, even worked as a family photographer for a awhile. Although males aren't appreciated in child friendly areas, even got called a pedophile by a husband; all because I was good with kids.

As I have come to except more and more of the feminine persona, I've started develop this desire to have my own family.
I guess it's always been there I just never let/allowed my self to feel it. Thing is though, here in Australia the adoption laws are pretty tight (redneckish), so it may never be fulfilled.

Still there's plenty of single dads out there !!  Maybe even one of them might be really rich!!

Very true. Also, knowing how males REALLY think makes it worse. I have three daughters and I swear it payback for my youth. I WAS the guy your parents warned you about!  lol

My wife is pregnant right now and we don't know the sex of the baby and as I can attest, sex doesn't always quite match. Hmmm... Might be a few others on this forum with the same feelings. LOL. 

That being said, I'm certainly anxious about having a boy more than a girl. I already have one girl and it is so easy... I just couldn't imagine trying to go build something or doing whatever other masculine things are on the list of activities that a "boy's boy" would want growing up. I know this probably isn't coming out right. Just doing those sorts of activities really set off the GID in the worst way. Maybe, it won't be so hard later on because it won't really come out of the blue rather the child develops into that, so there is time to adapt and figure out what works. At this point, it just seems so much bigger. Hopefully, I'm making a mountain out of a molehill and it won't be as much of a challenge as I perceive right now. Regardless, we just want a healthy child but I won't deny that I am more nervous about having one over the other.

I raised two boys into honorable adulthood and I think boys are harder up to about 11, and girls are impossible from about 11 on.

I want to be pregnant and experience childbirth and then enjoy that small miracle, but I'm not sure if I want to bring up next small children, I have two now (1 3/4 year and 1/2 year) and it is enough
