Why would anyone want to be a woman when they could be a man?

[rejennyrated]

I hope you didn't take my quote personally (unless it actually describes you).  I was speaking only of not having a high opinion of individuals who believe being a woman is easier which is a form of benevolent sexism taken to the extreme and have never taken an interest in the plight of women world wide.

Good lord no! - and even if it had been it's your absolute right to hold that opinion! I totally respect the complete integrity of your point of view even if we diverge a little, and I greatly value our enjoyable little jousts!

But as you rightly say we are both slightly in jest in this thread anyway!

Women are MOODY---just today I managed to send my girlfriend near crying out of the room with a pretty harmless comment >.< Took me an hour of getting to hear how stupid and insensitive I am to get her to smile again. I love T, I haven't cried since I started on it--I feel like I can actually think clearly instead of getting off-the-handle upset.

I agree with Elijah, the Red Death is a horrible, horrible experience. Ruins clothing too.

Oh, and as for the pants-around-the-knees thing...I refuse to let my pants sag like that. I buy my pants to fit and usually wear a belt. Hell, sometimes I even tuck my shirt in like a good boy.

If only we could have just swapped organs... but I can understand that for you having it must be as much of a torture as not having it genuinely is for me. But do cry about it because I so wanted to be fertile but the only ovaries I could have had never formed.

Ah well maybe in the future...

If you guys have all these great pockets, why do you always ask us "to hold this for me"?  Because we have a purse, and you think that we are you private pack animal.  Put it in you own pocket, silly.

Well, at stores, the people will start following/stalking you, assuming that you're gonna shoplift stuff


Or maybe that's just me..

Belts are amazing
(says the guy who has to get pants to fit his hips, not waist..)

This doesn't do the red death justice.

humiliating, disturbing, horrible, painful, debilitating,

now those are a few (very few) correct terms for it. It ruins your life for the entire time it exists. It follows no pattern comes and goes with no rhyme nor reason. It gives no benefit except as a method for men to put you down as worthless and weak. It costs money just to attempt to survive through. I will never understand someone wanting to be disabled as this does to me. Wishing to have it is like wishing for suicide. it makes no sense.

We don't wise it to have the pain, mess etc. We wish it because we would love to be able to get pregnant with our own child.

[rejennyrated]

@LordKat Well I guess I'm pretty crazy then! But I'm happy in my insanity and of course it makes perfect sense to me to wish for it. I just wish I could wave a wand and take it away from you and transfer it to me. If I could I really and truly would and without a moments hesitation.

[LordKAT]

Understood. Now if it could happen without the bad side effect, it would be even better I' sure. I have met the theory that I'm not trans because I wouldn't give up the time of being 5 months pregnant for anything. That moment you first feel them move.  I know cis men who have wished for this so I feel that theory is wrong. I would that I could share that with you also.

Your a wonderful crazy lady and I love ya for it.  Sanity is overrated. Insanity has allowed me to act up in some ways and be taken as that is just that darn old KAT again. works for me. I would hand you that wand and tell you the magic words if that is all it would take. As above I would that you could share all the wonders that being pregnant brings, (without the pain and mess if I had that choice).


I don't mean to put any of you down. I do hope to share my abhorrence of what over half my life (red death) is like for me. No more and no less.

I think we can apply soccer logic to this one:

As a man you can play soccer, and everyone thinks you act like a gay man even if you are not - e.g. when scoring a goal, or faking an injury. Women can also play soccer, and everyone thinks you are probably gay and they are probably right. .

So as a man, soccer allows you to be more expressive and touchy feely with your fellow man and get a grope of each others privates even if you are not gay. That is a good reason to be a man. But as a woman you get to hang out with a whole bunch of hot sweaty chicks and have soapy showers together. That is an excellent reason to want to be a woman!

Based on the brilliance of soccer logic I think it is a tie people!

We do understand that!

But personally I always like to pay the bill. I would happily go through a lifetime of pain and mess (not forgetting that smell) if I could, and consider it scant payment for the miracle of motherhood without adoption.

I think for me it is also made worse by the knowledge that I came so darned close. Atrophied undeveloped womb and ovaries which sadly could never have developed were found when I had investigations for what was originally thought to be a persistent abcess.

because masculinity is a sin.

[Alexie]

Because I'm over the man thing. It's over rated

No way, Kat.  Women have the PURSE gene.  Observe for yourself.  Men can never navigate the inner recesses of one.  They end up dumping everything out to find something.  I always figured that if they would test for it, the genetic basis for GID would be well established.

Metro guys with manbag skills might throw it off.

I think the real test is "Can you fold a fitted sheet?"

I tried. I can't. Even after many years, dealing with those things is a skill that escapes me. The last time I tried to so much as hang one on the clothes line, I poked myself in the eye with it. I didn't even know that was possible.

[Janet_Girl]

What?  They are just as easy as a flat sheet.  No wonder you are a guy.  I have folded fitted sheets for years.  Even showed my second ex how to do it.



Hugs and Love
Janet

[insanitylives]

Then you're a witch...
I don't see how that folds like a regular sheet o.O Really don't.

[DamagedChris]

I actually don't own a fitted sheet since I can't fold one or put one on a bed without a fight. I just take a normal flat sheet and tuck it under the mattress.

[Ryuu]

I can't fold a fitted sheet, or even put one on my bed well. Lol gotta love stereotypes.

[Elijah3291]

i can't fold a fitted sheet, but i can put it on my bed lol

whenever i try to fold one, it just looks like a lumpy pile

[Suzy]

Well I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan, and never ever let you forget you're a man.
