Seriously.
Ok, I get the physical aspect of it. I get the sexual aspect of it.
I do. I love my meow. I'm fascinated by my parts and what they do during an orgasm. Which incidentally, is the major reason I'm so opposed to anything but top surgery. I mean WTF are you guys on? You honestly expect me to believe you'd trade 'THE DANCE' of the female orgasm for what - just for the satisfaction of not having a meow? You're mad, mad I tell ya!
And yeah, tits are nice to have. Well, I've a love/hate relationship with mine. I hate them at all times. I even shower in my underwear, but on those rare occasions when it's been awhile and I actually have to wash them - it's like GODDAMN, they're gorgeous!
And I'm drooling and juicing and all that.
*clears throat*
ahem...
but uh seriously if there's anything more to like about being female than the above, please enlighten me.

I don't really think qualitative values really play in it so much for me. It's just a matter of what I am and what I am not. Being female is how I am, whether I like it or not. And while I can see positive qualities that being male can have and negative qualities that being female can have, these qualities do not affect who I am.
That's a very good post, Redfish. "Mad" or "angry." :laugh:
I have to concur with that. But, I have to concur with Nero as well. With the orgasm part.
What a wonderful metaphor to describe it: the dance. Yes!
And the coupling of the entire body and the psyche into that dance that whirls, swirls and steps, kicks and gently strolls with a rhythm like none I had ever felt until that. The melding with my lover and the melding with something so vast I can only call it Mother.
It's a Mystery, like Eleusis or the Transubstantiation.

Nero, I have orgasms that are nothing like I did before I started on HRT. It rewired all of my neural pathways in conformity with my body. Nothing feels like it did in the past. And my past is an asset for in living to please my partner in every way, including sexually, I know what I must do to please myself and get a ride in an F-16 and explode all over its cockpit before it lands ever so gently.
To borrow from the late Harry Chapin, "...I finally like myself. At last, I like myself."
For those who feel differently from you or me, Nero, I will cheer them on and help them in whatever way that I can.

There are no sexual aspects that are superior from my perspectives. Of course, I'm asexual.
I certainly have found no benefit financially. In fact, I've made much less in my career.
The clothing was fun for a while. There was such a variety and explosion of color compared to the greys and blues of the corporate rat race. But I became comfortable in a fairly non visible part of our society and started dressing like a normal person... casual.. very.
There has been no benefit in my family relations. It's been difficult at best and with some of them, I'll never reconcile no matter what I do.
I suppose that I like myself because this is how I always saw myself. I hated that other person (whose name shall not be mentioned). I'm happy to be female. And that trumps all the problems my transition created.

Well for me I am just happy that I got the nerve to jump thee chasm to the female side of the gender equation. I am happy and very grateful to explore and learn about my new gender role. I am for once comfortable in my own skin and I am even more happy then ever before.
It is the most wonderful experience to have someone help me to the car with the groceries or just have a gentleman hold a door open for me. Saved this one for last, yes I love colors to and during the summer months I love to wear sundresses of every color I can get., They are the coolest thing one can wear during the summer heat. Then walk about town and observe the guys watching me as I walk by them.
Lastly
Orgasms oh yeah, certainly, the plumbing down there works quite fine, better then ever and yes I can dance the dance. OK that's enough for tonight. I should be ashamed of myself, a granny bragging like that.

What i like about being female:
(aside from the obvious that i am which everyone feels the need to point out here)
I can be more in touch with my emotion, i can god damn cry when i god damn want to >:(
my body is a work of art (in progress) There is nothing more beautiful than the female breast, its just, so pretty and perfect (mostly)
Dont get me wrong, male bodies make me drool, but the female body is beautiful.... beyond equal...
Guys are chivalrous to me, opening doors, helping me, might not need it, but its sweet.
Freedom to dress as i please, for females, theres very little that = crossdressing.... I can wear boys jeans and still look good :D So many styles and choices for how i want to look, i can express my personality in my clothes.
Whats the best thing?
One day ill be a mother...
I dont think there is any greater joy for a woman, than children, hers by biology or not.

I would have to say I love experiencing the the various emotions and have the pleasure of being able to share them with another. Feeling some of the physical art of my body changing in intensity.
Deep love and appreciation of all elements. Touching the infinite and to flow with the multiple realities like surfing the many shads of an explosion of vibrant colors of fireworks of the heavens.. OK that' enough

I like being pretty. However, I'm learning that men can be pretty, too, so I think I'm good.
And really, female orgasms. Hmm. Annoying. It takes me 45 minutes to squeeze one off and I'm really not into it. Orgasm by penetration is another story but I don't have an active enough sex life for it to matter. So, not really digging much about it.

Q: What do you like about being female?
A: That it feels great! :)
Seriously now, I'd have to say that being female feels much more free than being male although I don't know if the fact that we live in a better era for females (than, say, the middle ages when being male was the shiznit and being female something to put up with) has something to do with it.
Regardless, I'd take being female to being male anytime though, warts and all. Being opressed, women have developed an interesting class consciousness that brings them together as nothing I experienced on the male side. Still it should be said as I think Jamison Green pointed out, m2fs experiences of what it is to be male are colored by their dysphoria so they are not really reliable as an unbiased opinion of the male condition. I honestly don't really know what being male is other than my experiences and observations as an outsider chained by biology.
Rambling and off-topic. I'm probably too biased to give a good answer anyway, after all I have transitioned M->F. I'll go with my first answer :)

Well I must say that I love who I am as well. It's a totally different feeling that can get way more profound than before.
As I remember more of my past, all the way back to when I was a child, I can remember the feelings I used to have as a child quite profound and all encompassing of the environment around me. I have found these very same sensitivities reawakening within me. The more I look as far back in early childhood as I can, I am better able to see a girl growing up to be a young lady.
I guess I was one of the fortunate kids to have wonderful loving parents, I never told them but I believe they knew about me and I was encouraged to be an independent person and they would be supportive of my decisions.
The only problem is my sensitivities spelled much hardship in my life mostly because people were not seeing who or what I was. After I resumed my journey to be who I should have been it was much easier for me to continue the journey. I feel good, I feel right and what's more is I am regaining the sensitivities I had started out with, and I embrace them.
I can't describe how it feels but I have a picture that I can identify with when I have those feelings. After living as Cindy full time for the past going on 8 years I can't remember what I looked like before. Ironically I don' have any photos of the previous me.

ahem...
but uh seriously if there's anything more to like about being female than the [physical aspects], please enlighten me.
well, certainly there are alot of psychological benefits with transitioning, but i wouldn't want to suggest, however, that those benefits are exclusive to male to females.
personally, i feel that i didn't even have access to important parts of my psyche before transitioning. but i did have the feeling that i was disconnected from some part of my mind that i didn't want to be disconnected from. it's a terrible feeling!
now that i am about 8 months on HRT, i have such a profound sense of inner peace, that i just can't explain it. it has made my transition so worth it. don't get me wrong, i can still act like a dope, at times, as some of you know :-\ .
but i have little doubt that FTM's get a similar positive effect when they start getting their gender identity crises straightened out.
so there's that, and also i love my girly hair, i love barrettes and my blouses, i love wearing panties, i really like my booty, i love my breasts, i enjoy working on my nails, and on my eyebrows.

I'd be able to control all chaos if I had inner peace. I'd be able to react to things that went on, and let the situation flow out of me versus barreling into me. Its usually the turmoil inside of me that allows the outside world to erode me, and reform me into this twisted, horrible person. So... Hopefully I'll get that too eventually. Not to mention feeling more like me.

Hi Ell I really feel happy for you hon. It is a new world that we are exploring. Actually as I stated earlier in another post I am not the same person, my characteristics especially how I think have changed HRT has also very much honed my sensitivities and my capacity to love especially with Wing Walker being the teacher. And of course intuition. Have a wonderful night. But none of this surprises me much for I already knew who I was when I was a child.

I AM WOMAN
I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'Cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again
Oh yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to
I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
You can bend but never break me
'Cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'Cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul
Oh, yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to
I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
I am woman watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin' arms across the land
But I'm still an embryo
With a long, long way to go
Until I make my brother understand
Oh, yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained

I can face anything

It was co-written by a dude, one Ray Burton. And the band was all male too, and a pretty good one.
In fact, she had one of the best line-ups in LA backing her. The twanging guitar that opens the song was provided by Mike Deasy, whose CV boasts sessions with The Beach Boys, Elvis Presley, Barbra Streisand, The Fifth Dimension and Frank Sinatra. Jim Horn, who had played on The Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'," was on woodwind. The drummer was Jim Gordon, whose credits included The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds and John Lennon's "Imagine". On piano was Michael Melvoin, who had probably played on more Monkees songs than any of the Monkees. There was also Joe Osborn (bass), who had recorded with Billy Joel; Dick "Slide" Hyde (trombone) was a veteran of sessions with Glen Campbell and Bread; and longtime Buddy Rich band member Don Menza played sax. Backing vocals were by Kathy Deasy, whose voice graces records by Johnny Rivers, Kenny Loggins and The Byrds.

Wow, a lot of work went into that song re: musicians, writers, producer, back-up etc. :)
Great song, very empowering. Helen's back here now, lost most of her money cause she got ripped off by the bastard men in her life. Same old story, drugs, mismanagement, con artists.
She doesn't perform any more but she does public speaking at functions occasionally.

That is simply wonderful news. It is so nice to hear good news from the girls here when it comes to family. But every now and again one here gets the support of family, brothers even "wow!"! More often then not, boys especially brothers can be difficult to get along with even under normal circumstances. I would say that this is a rare and wonderful occurrence. You just keep on going what ever you are doing because it appears to me like are doing the right thing.

Yes I had the support of my family for my transition but it came with a price, I was to do it their way or not at all, specially my Mom at the time, instead of being their depressed, bored, cranky terrible son, I was to become their ''lovely pretty daughter'' sometimes it caused tension, and my brothers who where typical boys who loved their football and rough games where taught by Mom and Dad to treat me and respect me as a girl.
I remember 1 incident a year into my transition, I was away on vacation and relations came to visit and stay over, my brother was asked to vacate his room for a night for our uncle to stay, he was told to use my room but he refused, saying he didn't want to sleep in a girl's room cos it was sissy and girly, my bedroom was very girly all done out in different shades of pinks, not a place my brother would like LOL! thats the kind of girl my Mom wanted me to be, I remember my Mom forbid me to wear pyjamas, saying they where too boyish, so I just did what I was told so as I could complete my transition, when I read some of the stories here, I surpose I should be thankful, anyway Im now my own woman, time is a healer.

Hi Pauline, nice to see you again. "Wow!!" I just loved your story before. That is so wonderful, a fantasy princess like story and of course I am looking forward to hearing more about youre journey since the last time you were here. I admire the other kids here for their accomplishment, but it was certainly not a walk in the park for them. Having an early start is something I wished I could have had and then have a full life ahead of me as the true me.
I will send prayers for you and all of the younger folks here that your journeys be happy and fulfilling.
I was a late starter, but I didn't have to answer to anyone, I just up and did it and if anyone did not like the idea, they could blow it out their nose. I do not have any regrets and I guess I am blessed in many ways that my transitioning turned out to be like it was meant to be and was a relatively smooth journey. It has been a wonderful experience and I have never been happier, and I believe I deserve to be happy, I have earned it after all the suffering in my prior life.

I do so agree with you, Berliegh. Although I was blessed with having 11 children under my roof over the years, it's not the same as giving birth to a child, your own child. I would give anything for that privilege. Growing up as a girl and learning about the different feelings and knowledge that young girl experience, I'll never know that. It won't matter how much I wish to have lived a full life as a girl, I can only hope to mimic the life of a natal girl to the best of my ability but there will always a big gap in that part of my life.

What I truly LOVE about being female, are the enhanced sensitivities, the intuition, the endless ways of self-expression, and increased perception. These are among the qualities that, as a MTF TS, I find give the TS experience the greatest meaning and value.

Hi Robin_p , never repress the feelings that come from within. It is good to cry, just forget the "old tapes" in your mind that were recorded in the past. This is a new life, a new beginning, as well as a time to explore and know she within that is you.
Allow yourself to grow and evolve into the new you. Tears are good, they are an expression of the inner self. Geeee, sometimes I will cry for many different reasons and it helps to release the pain, for happiness sometimes, for sentimentality, and, oh my, can't forget sometimes even a good joke, that can also release a tear or two. There are so many different reasons you will find worthy of tears. The need for crying and the reasons for crying are not always bad and not always good, hon. It's mixture of many different feelings, almost always spontaneous.

These are all things that I've been aware of for many years prior to HRT. I've enjoyed all of these benefits since I was a child. It has also led to many problems over the years, however, as I would occasionally say something that no man should have any knowledge of. My comment to a female co-worker that "women's intuition is for more than survival in the dating game," didn't go over very well. When I came out to my co-workers prior to my retirement, most of my female friends already knew that I was TS, or "something like that," because I "knew too much."
I was quite passable as a 20 year old MTF, and HRT wasn't available at that time, but I made the decision to try to live out my life as a male. I did not think that happiness was attainable, and help was non-existant in 1970. I just wanted to fit in, pursue a job/career. All that I wanted to do, was survive. No matter how hard I tried to "be a guy," It were those very elements that I've mentioned in my post that prevented me from being fully accepted. Women found me "strange," but "in a nice way!", and men usually kept their distance. So did I. My sensitivities, my intuition, my emotional and spiritual being are part of my core self, and these are not things that can be changed to accommodate the synthetic male image that I was trying to project. And yes, these are among the gifts that I value the most when I think of what it means to be a woman. And yes, I cry at movies. Always have. Cried a flood with "Titanic"! Loved every minute of it!!!

Cindy wearing a Kimono walks through the door with the string curtain, stops, clasps hands together, closes eyes and bows slightly to April in respect. Ya I got a thing for writing short stories but at this moment all I desire to say hun that your story is pretty well a carbon copy of mine. I have been living a woman for the past 8 years and have only experienced little negativity, maybe I am blessed, I have a whole flock of guardian angels watching over me. "hee, hee, hee."
But living a a woman at times has been a blissful experience. To merge body and soul together as one. I have always been one to love and care for others, and that I have done to the best of my ability. I have also been working as a social worker for the past 20 years and also worked the last 8 years as Cindy.
I have moved to Vancouver from Ontario and I have made some friends and none of them know anything about my past and that is the way I plan on keeping it.

Cindy wearing a Kimono walks through the door with the string curtain, stops, clasps hands together, closes eyes and bows slightly to April in respect. Ya I got a thing for writing short stories but at this moment all I desire to say hun that your story is pretty well a carbon copy of mine. I have been living a woman for the past 8 years and have only experienced little negativity, maybe I am blessed, I have a whole flock of guardian angels watching over me. "hee, hee, hee."

Hi my beautiful friend Ellie. I may do that. I didn't know there was a thread for that here. Yea I do love telling stories. Some are pretty weird though but a nice type of weird. Many of my stories are either from imagination and others from visions.

It was co-written by a dude, one Ray Burton. And the band was all male too, and a pretty good one.
In fact, she had one of the best line-ups in LA backing her. The twanging guitar that opens the song was provided by Mike Deasy, whose CV boasts sessions with The Beach Boys, Elvis Presley, Barbra Streisand, The Fifth Dimension and Frank Sinatra. Jim Horn, who had played on The Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'," was on woodwind. The drummer was Jim Gordon, whose credits included The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds and John Lennon's "Imagine". On piano was Michael Melvoin, who had probably played on more Monkees songs than any of the Monkees. There was also Joe Osborn (bass), who had recorded with Billy Joel; Dick "Slide" Hyde (trombone) was a veteran of sessions with Glen Campbell and Bread; and longtime Buddy Rich band member Don Menza played sax. Backing vocals were by Kathy Deasy, whose voice graces records by Johnny Rivers, Kenny Loggins and The Byrds.
that's interesting, Tekla. thanks for sharing.
i've always hated that song. it made me feel that the word "Feminist" was such a misnomer, as though they actually should've labeled themselves "Anti-femmes."

I'm a guy, but I have a kitty...and I like my kitty. Wouldn't trade it for anything but a fully functioning normal sized penis and the ability to orgasm with said penis. But since that ain't happening anytime in the near future...I'll stick with my kitty. So I guess that makes me part female (at least below the waist), and I'd have to say what I like about it is...the 'female' orgasm feels good.

I would love to have a kitty but landlord say's no.
I have always held on to the thought and the true fact that as males, we are always 50% female ( XY ) and that from my perspective, extraordinary bad luck gave me a penis. The only comfort I get from this is that it is non-functioning in a sexual context, merely a piece of fat and skin to house the eurethra (sp.) etc. erections of my youth were a painful and horrific event for me and thankfuly an extremely rare event. I do not recall any similar event for at least 30 yrs therefore orgasm is something I hope for only in the female sense. All I know is that in my mind and heart and soul, I am as female as any genetic girl, even the Tomboys among us. My neighbour is a gorgeous leggy size 8 (UK) blonde and is more male than I ever was so I have hope for the future ...... but I still would like a Kitty to love and care for etc... :eusa_pray:

I feel more like myself when my male drive doesn't kick in while cuddling. No sexuality implied when you don't want it, just pure care and love.

I identify as a male androgyne, but it sure seems to me to be a golden era for being a GG.
As an androgyne, I can surely see a lot of advantages for being a female right now, and not so much for being a male.
I'm kind of jealous.

I like having intuition, kind of like a sixth sense. I've always felt it was like a super power being able to feel when something big was gonna happen.

What do you LIKE about being female?
I like the feelings, the emotions and the capacity to love another deeply. And yes after 8 years on estrogen I have intensified intuition and numerous other sensitivities.

Riven, Are you in tune with yourself? If yes, take the most important step towards fulfilment. Female life is really rather nice, there are hundreds of us here to talk with so why not take advantage of free of charge therapy? :angel:
