Quick poll - Gender-blessed or Gender-cursed?

[cindianna_jones]

Till now I have considered myself gender-cursed and I think that this will be my opinion till (and if) I'll be able to be finally myself.
Anyway I am trusting that my opinion will be different then, but now that I feel like a secret agent behind the enemy lines I am unable to see the good that there is in any experience.
Neverless, I have to say that my perspective is changing and I have to thank all of you for this.

Uh oh... we are winning her over.  Look out!

I was gender cursed. My life would be a happier one had I been able to live as the female gender.

I would now change my answer to gender-cursed.  I have gone from one hell into another.  First I had to suffer all my life living in the wrong life and body and now that I'm transitioning, my parent hate me and I am going through an awful divorce.

Sorry to hear that Melisa.

If you can change your vote then I can change my vote. I am through my awfull depression period - I am open and now can start to enjoy being TG. Both a curse and blessing for me. I get to see both side of the fence.

I answered both.

I hated being male and I hate having to carry the burden of being TS. All the intolerance out there, not to mention my own discomfort, and just when I seem to be hitting it off with somebody I have to reveal this and they drop me like a hot potato.

On the other hand, just that I get to know the wonders of having an outwardly female appearance/presentation, seeing my physique feminizing more and more, and not having to disguise my real self... for me that's what makes life worth living.

I have gone from one hell into another.

I say I'm gender cursed, because it causes me so much pain and derives me of so much things that make a normal person's life happy and worth living, but then again I think if I would have never come to the realization, I wouldn't think the same way. I probably would still be religious, I'd probably still make fun of homosexuality(I've never really done it, but what if I would have never realized?), I wouldn't be open-minded and I wouldn't strive to make the world a better place for everyone.

...but as they say, "Ignorance is bliss." It may be true, and I know being "informed" hurts, but the truth must be told, right?

Even though I hate the pain, I'm glad for some reason that I'm not so ignorant, maybe I'm still ignorant in some areas, but it's better then what I was.

Did that make any sense to any of you? I often make no sense.

      I say Gender cursed cause all my life I was forced into the male roll. I really hated
      being typecast as male. Hated being male even though I did enjoy some things
      that come a little easyer as male. But once I began to discover my feminine self
      the more I explored the more female I felt and continue to feel. I'm sure my opinion
      will be different later on. My perspective now has changed a lot because of all of
      here. And it's still changing.

I said I was Gender Blessed.  Having blurred the lines between Male and Female, I understand each end of the spectrum better than if I were one or the other. 

For those trapped in the wrong body and dealing with the harm it can cause to relationships, it is easy to see why Gender Cursed would be their selection.  To you, all my love and prayers.

While I've had some extremely difficult and painful times during this journey of discovery, I still answered gender-blessed. My place between genders is a unique gift, even if it hasn't always been apparent as to how or why. It will take a full lifetime to truly understand and utilize this gift to its fullest potential.

I consider myself blessed to be androgynous.  It makes life complicated at times, but I could not imagine giving up any part of either my masculine or feminine sides--it is simply who I am and I like being who I am.

[HelenW]

I've thought about it and thought about it and I've come to the conclusion that making a judgement, bad or good, doesn't do or change anything so . . .

I'd rather not choose.  Aye yam what aye yam!
