benefits of being trans

[=celestica=]

You left out pregnacy, menopause, and pap smears

I sometimes wish I'd be able to get pregnant. But then I think about all the kids that could be adopted so I feel better with that.

Don't mtfs go through "menopause" when they get off hormones?
Sometime things happen and we can't afford or get our medication.

And pap smear = ew. Lol

I have one that goes two ways.

Benefit:
I/my parents don't have to worry about me impregnating my girlfriend.

Downfall:
I can't impregnate a female when I'm ready . .

I've always been sterile, so that's something I accepted decades ago. I couldn't imagine myself with kids anyway.

I'd rather be a different person than trans to be honest.

There's times when I've thought this.  Like I wished I'd been born a cis man.  But then I remember that getting a Y chromosome would have meant a different sperm winning the race.  Which doesn't mean I'd be a different person, it means there'd just be no me at all.  The guy alive and walking around wouldn't be me.  He'd be my brother.

Screw him.  I like being alive.

If you were never born, you wouldn't be aware of what you were missing and that you weren't alive.

to be honest with you, that terrifies me more than any negative consequence I face being trans.  But that's just me.


Since I never actually answered the thread in my first post:

Having an understanding of what women go through.  I'm sort of thankful that I've experienced sexism/misogyny first hand so having gained male privilege I can be responsible with it.
