benefits of being trans

[anibioman]

i was talking to a friend who knows im trans and i told her there is only one benefit of being trans is not having to worry about accidentally getting a girl pregnant but there are actually two benefits of being trans not having to worry about accidental pregnancy and multiple orgasms. if you guys can think of any others please tell me.

Don't have to worry so much if a baseball hits your prosthetic balls. If you have any.

Um...I still have to worry about pregnancy XP. I might not get to knock-up anyone, but I can definitely get pregnant if I'm not  careful @_@. Hell, right now I'm celebrating my period as proof of lack of fetuses ;_;. Don't judge, it was an accident XP.

Ok, back to benefits :'D! One benefit for me is that my feet are freaking tiny so I can still wear light-up shoes! I don't care if they make me look too young, they're awesome @_@!

No prostate exams!

But no prostate, either.

There's benefits??

Really, I never really thought of any.

In some ways, being raised female made me more sensitive. But, it also made me angry and sort of screwed up sometimes because I am not a woman, and raising me as one just made me hate the world for a long time. I don't know whether or not the two cancel each other out.

No awkward boners in class? Something my husband and the 18 year old brother have both bemoaned. xD

First thing that popped in my head when I read the question, lawl

[wheat thins are delicious]

There aren't any imo.

Perhaps.. Our struggle creates a more tolerant, colourful and self-reflective society.

If I had to think about the reduced risk of prostate and testicular cancer and how afraid I am of that disease, that's a benefit for me.

Also saying goodbye to accidental erections. There's nothing worse on the gym's showers. "Go down, you bastard. Now it's not the time for that!"

But thinking about being on meds for life, possible social problems or harassing, unsupporting family, etc... Not so sure. there may be a few physical benefits for daily annoyances, but a lot of extra crap to deal with.


being trans is not bad, but the "normal" people are awful.

We actually have to think about Gender and how it operates in society. 
We hopefully are a bit more accepting of other peoples differences.
We will never bully someone.
That will do for a start.

I agree that in there are not a lot of big advantages as far as most people are concerned, including a lot of folks here. But, I am also one of those guys that has tried to find the bright side, lest I have a harder time dealing with my own reality. At the very least, I think its good to find something positive about one's situation.

Though, I wish I could grow a killer beard. One day...

I completely agree. Since our perspectives are different we have more of a chance to effect the world around us.

I'm gonna second the awkward boners comment.  And knowing what it's like to be seen as a woman so we're less likely to be a-holes to them in the future.  And for me being really short is sometimes a benefit, I fit well into kids clothes which are generally cheaper anyway and don't have tax on them like adult ones do.  (But that's also a pain seeing as I need fire retardant overalls and they don't come anywhere near small enough...)

If I wasn't trans I would be a completely different person. Not exactly a benefit but one thing that I consider.

Totally agree with you Nygeel. Though somedays I really don't like myself, I don't know if I'd want to be completely different.
