Postive thing about being a transguy :)

[Wolfsnake]

This made me laugh  what's not to love about that?  Damn, I want to be smelly, hairy, muscular, and maybe even sexy. 

Inorite? I'm not really digging the hairy, but I love smelling more manleh and getting muscles. And I am really enjoying the high sex drive. So is my boyfriend. 

As for other positive things, I'm gonna second John Alex. I grew up in Conservative Land. Even though I was told at a young age that you should still love someone even if they were gay, I still had a lot of issues with anything sex or gender related. I seriously considered becoming a nun so I would never have to deal with it. I was closeted, scared, closed-minded, and cautious. I never talked about how I felt and did a smashing job of avoiding thinking about it or interacting with anything that wouyld bring up uncomfortable thoughts or feelings.

Since figuring myself out (at least somewhat), I think I've become much more open-minded and much more capable of being a good friend, because I can open up and be comfortable with others now. I'm not busy avoiding the entire world. I'm living in it.

I can't think of anything positive about it to be honest haha

[InstantRamen]

I just thought of something--you get to choose your own name! 

epic win! 
lol, i see it as an accomplishment in a way xD, personally, its a great feeling; to choose something that makes you happy, to finally have something you've never really grasped in an earlier time period.

Keepin' it real.

[GnomeKid]

Eh, I think I've gained an interesting perspective on the world.

Certainly there are downsides, but I hold my queerness dear, and near, to my heart.

Same here! I always refused to talk about marriage, sexuality, or anything, though I did make it clear that I didn't care what other people liked. I told people at school that I was going to be a nun because there was no way I was going to be someone's wife (I thought you were required to get married).
As to being a better friend and opening up, my mom told me yesterday that she has much more in common with 'Vincent' than with '[previous name]'.

From a young age I told people I would never get married if I had to be the wife. I think I spent some time in denial about what I meant by that.

its kinda strange, I as well refuse the topic most of the time, I somehow feel abit akward and left out,

My sexualety isnt like the usunally straight folks, and I cant get marrigde or have children in a way I would like,
if people said stuff like "If I wanted to get marrige I often said no"
to be honest I dont know if I would, but I never thought I could in a way I would like,
I would like to be marriged for real like a man and it seam very hard or imposible specially because I likely would marry a man.

A positive I've found... since coming out to some friends and my sister... I feel calmer, better about myself and what I'm doing in my life to change my body to fit who I am. I haven't made it far in my transition yet, hell, I don't even have a therapist yet (small towns suck)... but to know that I am taking steps, even if they're small (like joining Susan's) makes me feel better about myself. I used to -pray- that I would get breast cancer, just so I could get the damn things cut off and not have to worry with them... now that I know I can get a masectomy anyway, it doesn't seem that bad (though I still hate looking at myself in the mirror without a shirt on).

For me, the best part of being a transguy is... being a transguy. I hate my body, I hate being terrified to tell my mom... but I love knowing that this is who I really am, that I've found myself, and that I am going to stop pretending to be someone I never have been and I never will be again.

I used to do this, and I felt so guilty about it. Especially since a close friend had just recovered from skin cancer. He's still fine, apparently (we don't talk anymore) and I got surgery without having cancer.

But it's a month after this thread was started, and I still can't think of much positive about being a trans man. Guess I'm still fighting it, even after all this time.

[JetBlackAndJealous]

I can wear THESE SHOES! If I were biologically male, I could never wear them ;_;! I also still fit in a lot of awesome kid's stuff :'D! I have an awesome Optimus Prime hat and gloves intended for small boys :'P. Makes my poor boyfriend look more and more like Pedobear as the days go by, but as long as I got my ID to prove I'm 21, he'll be fine :'D.

This is also my vote. Light-up shoes for the win. Mine didn't cost nearly that much, but they're just as awesome, if not more so.

I know the feeling. Sometimes I feel the same way. I can't find any positives, I feel so ->-bleeped-<-ing bad about what the hell is happening to me and what will happen to the people I'm close with, that I just can't find a smile anywhere inside. But. Even still, I think that we can find positives. Maybe when you stop fighting you'll find what you were looking for.

On the upside though... I got called Sir today on the phone several times... made my f***ing night.

(Also got hit on by an old guy in Cali... he went from calling me -insert real name here- to calling me Crystal... I was all o.0 Chris would be closer to the truth... stop hitting on me dude!)

Having a higher tolerance to pain is always a plus, since female bodied individuals are known to have a higher tolerance to pain.  Which makes me start to question the whole being kick in the groin thing. 
Obviously it has to hurt like the dickens, but compared to the discomfort and pain of cramps, especially when being trans, I would rather be kicked.  Although, I will never know for sure which one would be worse.

[Kentrie]

I can't think of anything positive. I would love to be kicked between the legs and it hurt.

It does anyway, lol

Well, yeah I guess. I remember in 6th grade I accidentally rammed that part into some guys chair and it felt like electric shooting through there, in a very painful way and it hurt for about 5 minutes. 

[Natkat]

it deffenly dose, if you get kicked the right place, remember a guy who kicked me and I could sit for the rest of the day.

Thats because a kick in the vagina is just as if not MORE painful than a kick in the testicles.

I can ride horses a lot more comfortably and with much less fear of what might happen at a bouncy trot. 

But seriously, as horrible as it is, and as hard as it is to deal with, there are upsides. I can appreciate the opportunity to see the world from the perspective of both genders. It's definitely made feminism a more personal cause, knowing what it's like to be on the receiving end of sexist comments and behavior. At some point I hope the youthful appearance will be on my side. Most significantly, I already went through hell as a kid, adding on the bullying I would have received as a result of my femininity would not have been pleasant. As it was I at least didn't have any physical confrontations that I hadn't initiated.

[Natkat]

I dont remember if I got this one but just got in mind

a posetive thing about being trans is you got to see, / touch more boobs. XD
its true, I mean if your curious then you might get to see how they grew or how the top surgery went..
