What do you like about being a bio-guy/bio-girl?

[RebeccaFog]

The absolute only bio-male advantage that I can see is being able to pee off the back of a moving truck.

That's about it.

Remind me not to drive behind your car in a procession

Your safe when I'm driving. I can't do both although I've tried to come up with a plan.   

[justme]

what i like about being a bio-girl is just about everything other then the monthly visits from aunt flow and the year exams. but the best part is being able to experince pregnancy and child birth

[perfectisolation]

Just because you lived as that sex, does not mean you fully understand it.

That's true, Leslie Ann... i'll never really understand why women want to do most things like wear makeup and stuff... it's more of a physical experience.. and how other people treat me believing that i am a woman.. I'll never understand the desire to bear children or have them either.

[Sephirah]

Just because you lived as that sex, does not mean you fully understand it.

True... but from a purely anthropological point of view, you have more priviledged access to the way that sex interacts with itself, and can gain a better understanding of thought patterns, emotional bonds, and information you wouldn't be able to see if you weren't superficially accepted as one of them.

I tend to watch people rather closely, but say very little. In some situations it affords me an insight into the way some guys think and what they talk about with each other, simply by virtue of me being percieved as one. It's like a backstage pass, if you like. And whilst 98% of the conversations I'm privvy to hold very little interest for me in terms of subject matter, as far as relationships are concerned... you'd be surprised how much you can learn by listening a group of guys talking about their partners together, away from said partners and in a space they feel comfortable. Very illuminating.

Quite true, but I have had and seen those who act as though we have some special intimate knowledge about both sexes and expect us to know all there is about both.

Ok, I'm going to try really hard to be positive here.

I agree that it's nice not to have to have extreme pain when kicked in the crotch (although I trade that if I could have been normal)

I enjoy being told "you can't because you're a girl" and then doing it anyway. 

That's semi-fun too.

And I just want to put in that The Sims 2 is not girly, per-say, but it isn't exactly the most masculine thing on the planet.
And not having all the pressure of having to act all tough, even though in some ways I like to.

One thing I like about being Trans is that I can view both sides of everything. Like if I'm reading a book, I can see through both the man's side and the woman's side, being that I know what it feels like to be female, but I am male. That is very handy, but also gets me in trouble sometimes when my friends (un-informed of what/who I am) want me to be on their side (the female side) when I don't belong there, and when a girl 'can't' be on the boys side.

Also, not being harassed for hanging out with girls is good, because I know a lot of girls from the 'Time of Blindness', as I call it.

That's about it. Mostly social stuff.

[Hypatia]

Nothing at all.

Or rather: Getting rid of it, putting it behind me, liberating myself from it. I absolutely hated it, loathed it, and felt oppressed by it. It was painful, unreal, and destructive. Good riddance!

Soldierjane-- Right on. Thank you. THANK YOU! 

[fwagodess]

The only thing I like as a biological man being a father, and that is all.

[ZoeySD]

Wow this thread got me thinking a lot more than I thought about myself.
At first I was like okay, no problem I can list a few things, but as I began to
think about it, my mind kept drawing a blank. Do I really despise being a guy
that much that I can't think of a positive 
This has been an eye opener for me.

[Jay]

Well before when I didn't pass I liked having the:-

*Being served before males.
*Being able to pull the "blonde" card..
*Cheaper Car Insurance

Cant think of anymore...

[placeholdername]

Right now the only thing I can think of is the not having periods part, but there's two things to that:

1) GGs can get drugs that make them mostly go away
2) I would gladly accept that as part of the deal if I could get pregnant.  I don't know if this seems weird or not, but if in the future there's some sort of freak science experiment where they ask for 'male' volunteers for a uterus/ovary transplant, you can bet my name would be on that list.  I want it so bad.

[Carolyn]

Seeing how males behave up close and personal so I know how to deal with them at a later date. However I must say, I Still understand very very little about why men do what they do, THEY MAKE NO SENSE!

[Pica Pica]

armhair
striding confidently
getting on a bus at 4am alone
not having periods, in particular having a pretty steady hormonal level without all them highs and lows

[Nero]

sex.

[Sophie90]

A higher chance of finding and being with a man I love... (thinking of one hetrosexual in particular lol)


And being able to get dressed up like a girl whenever I like.

[JonasCarminis]

multiple orgasms. >_>
no blue balls
can pull the "daddy's little girl" thing to get money

[fwagodess]

sex.

I've completely forgotten about that.

[SarahFaceDoom]

Let's see:
-People listening to my opinion and caring what I had to say
-Not being treated like the property of skeezy old men to grab my butt or whistle at me
-not having to worry about being called a slut if I slept around
-not having to meet a certain standard of attractiveness
-not caring about my weight
-no uncomfortable shoes.
-not having my worth at all established by what I was wearing
-when you're friends with guys, it's like complete loyalty to one another.  When you're a girl friends with other girls, you have to worry about getting stabbed in the back for some guy.
-to that end, for the most part none of your guy friends would dare sleep with a girl you were interested in.  Your girl friends might.
-being strong
-being the center of attention around girls.

I dunno.  There's a lot.  Male privilege is a pretty cushy gig.

Being a girl  has it's perks though

[cindybc]

Being a girl does have it's perks. 
People treat and talk to you different, although that has become commonplace now.
Elderly gentlemen still stare at me when I walk by but don't touch the merchandise. But I enjoy being eyed up when I walk by in a summer dress.
Having girl friends is fun. I like having a lot of friends but I do have one favorite one, she is very sage and wise.
I like shopping, the varieties of different styles and colors I love. Even if I don't buy it's fun to window shop.
I like going out to fancy restaurants with my beloved.
One thing I still enjoy and love is to slip into my nighty and wake up in the morning knowing I'm still a not bad looking lady for my age.

Probably could think of some more stuff but that's enough for tonight.

Good night all

Love Cindy 

[Jessica M]
