Do you miss anything about living as male?

[iconoclast]

I miss the drunken parties I used to go to. I realize this isn't exclusively a male activity but I don't get invited to any anymore, so for me it was. You? Anything?

[Sarah Louise]

Nothing

[Alainaluvsu]

Feeling safe when I get gas from a sketchy part of town.

Feeling safe when I get gas from a sketchy part of town.

yeah that is a good one

[kariann330]

Being able to better hide my Glock on my hip without it printing on my jeans or top, and being able to sit and not crush the cherries cuz of not crossing my legs.

[Jessica Merriman]

I miss the nervousness, feeling of living a lie, acting alpha all the time..........UHHH, No! Do not miss a thing, especially with my Smith & Wesson M&P. *giggle*

[pebbles]

Sexism is unpleasant when it comes up.

Feeling safe when I get gas from a sketchy part of town.

It's interesting, because obviously before I used to have the fear of getting raped or sexually assaulted - I don't have that anymore, but now I feel like I may be a more appropriate target for something like mugging if I were in a situation like this.

[Kaylee]

Being able to roll out of bed 10 minutes before needing to catch the bus to work instead of 1-1.5 hours!

[Janae]

The short answer is.....No

[sam79]

The feeling of being safe in some places and/or at night... Otherwise nothing

[Jennygirl]

I was scrawny as a male so I never really felt safe in the first place in bad areas, but I am definitely more defensive now and take way more precautions. Way more!

So I would have to say +1 to feeling safer in sketchy areas.

Um... no. I've been getting strange looks for looking weird/different since I was a child so I'm used to that. I don't go to strange places where there could be a chance of some sort of violence. Most women will not do this. Male privilege...pfft... I've never had that or certainly have not been able to take advantage of it. Some bodyparts are not yet formed and I'm working on ridding myself of another that I will not miss. The list goes on. Once I reach my goals, will I miss the dysphoria I had as a male ? Nope.

Just because you change gender doesn't mean you have to start competition flower arranging or taking an interest in sewing machines (though I have developed a fascination with them).

Pretty much all of the other things that I did living as male I still do except peeing standing up. (I don't miss that either)

I think that because we are all different and most things aren't gender specific these days, some you will miss things, others it's a case of minor adjustments or fine tuning and others will not miss a thing.

[HawlSera]

Not a thing, when I was male I felt like I was living a play. Like everything was an act, like I was just pretending. At all times, and I never understood why. It was horrible, I kept constantly trying to re-invent myself.

Now that I'm female, I'm damn sure of who I'm meant to be. It's just kind of ironic that that person is a tomboy.

[bethany]

I miss being able to go topless when it's hot. Other than that I don't miss a thing.

[Sammy]

I miss being able to go topless when it's hot. Other than that I don't miss a thing.

Oh yeah... this one too I miss the opportunity to go to public swimming pools too.

[Sharon Lynn]

Looking at the clock right now, I must agree with Kaylee!!! 

(I'm late! I'm late!  )

[Isabelle]

No.

[Kaylee]

I miss being able to go topless when it's hot. Other than that I don't miss a thing.

Bikini tops ftw!

I literally spent half the summer in denim hot pants and various flavour of red bikini (I LOVE red!) and plan to do the same next year - hopefully filling them a bit better though

[Marina mtf]

just the "simpleness" of putting out a jeans and a t-shirt, a quick rinse on the face and I was out.

Now I have to plan 20 minutes in advance, as a minimum. But it's not really a "miss", I think it's a gain,
I love myself more.
