I pose the question in the thread because as I progress further and further in my hormone treatment and physically changing into a woman, I have reflected on my life a lot...
There are so many things I want to redo as a woman this time around... for example, I was a cheerleader in high school, but I was male at that time, so I could not wear the "female" cheerleader outfit. So, I want to give a cheering/dance show in the spring, in a cheerleader outfit with my hair pulled back in a French Braid (classic hairstyle for cheerleaders) on a stage as a woman now. :icon_dance: :icon_geekdance:
Another example I want a "woman redo" as is to go back to college as an undergraduate student - this time as a woman. I want to go to those crazy spring breaks in a bikini and flash my boobs at drunk college guys. Hell, I probably would even make out with another woman for the hell of it in front of a camera. I want all those wild college experiences a woman has. Hit the straight bars for ladies' happy hour. :icon_dance: I want to join a sorotity. I want to <not allowed> a hot straight frat boy. :icon_pelvic_thrust:
Teehee!!!
I would want to go back to my younger years and stick with gymnastics. I absolutely LOVED gymnastics! I would also want to redo my high school prom for obvious reason. I went, but it kinda wasn't fun because I was envious of all the girls around me.
Those two are really the only stand out things for me. Though really it would be great to redo my entire life.
seems rather obvious to say...
redo the loss of virginity thing .....
I'd like to have had a childhood.
I'd like a redo of High school. It was the worst time of my life and I'd like to redo it all without feeling like I'm in the wrong body.

Technically, we do get a second chance at losing our virginity when we get SRS, right?
I would luv to "redo" my childhood activities as a girl. My parents manly my step dad made me join and participate in boyish activities like boy scouts, football, baseball, and i hated it except for karate which actually was pretty cool and came in handy against bullies in school. I wanted to sell cookies as a girl scout and take dancing like my sister...blah stupid parents. >:(
id say my childhood. I was always jealous to see my cousins playing dolls, house and using an easy bake oven :laugh: but it did it me hard since ive felt like a girl all my life. I always hated how they got to have beautiful pink rooms and i had to have some ugly boy room with some dumb theme like baseball. i cant change that though but i definitely do what i want now especially shopping... i can get whatever i want now without anyone telling me anything bad or what i want is wrong
Probably enjoy being a gay male more.
I am fine with the female life. I would have chose better partners though and not stayed with a controlling married jerk for so long.
EVERYTHING! Starting from the day I was born.

I think I wanted to clarify - things that YOU can REDO NOW as a woman. I mean, some of the childhood events that we spent as a male cannot be never redone because you have to be at a specific age.
That is why I said I would redo college, not high school (even though I wish I could) because no one is too old to go back to college, but you cannot go back to high school even as a woman presently.
Another example is redoing my birthdays - since I have started hormones last month, so it is like I am a 13 years old teenage all over again physically, going through puberty. So, I have told myself... 3 years from now, it will be like I am "16", so I want to celebrate my 33th birthday as a "Sweet Sixteen" event like I should have done, and 8 years from now, it will be like I am "21" so I am going to celebrate it as I would have done - going out and getting plastered, flashing my tits in a cheap college-crowd bar/club even though I will be 38. :eusa_shhh: :eusa_shhh:

My personality kinda reversed. I felt more like a girl as a gay boy, but now I feel more like a gay boy as a girl.
I suppose I wanted to do drag and take advantage of those options when I was younger. But now I look fabulous...Like Drag Race fabulous. I just miss smooth chests.

How can there be any other answer?
I'd like to redo my brief nursing career.
I know I was a good nurse. I know, precieved as female, I could have been a great nurse. As a male I was always expected to be a male. Cold, aloof. Ambitious. A cross between an all action hero and a wise old teacher.
But I've found that life is a lot like a train, you go where it takes you. Occasionally you meet some points and can choose directions. Though you never really know where it's going or why you're on it.

Can you explain more about this?

Not all women have/had wild college experiences such as what you've described. ;)
QuoteAnything in your life that you would love to redo as a woman this time?
Falling in love.
High school years! I have to live the craziness and stupid choices now to make up for it. :P
But for something specific, prom - I would have rocked the pants suit and danced with femmes. :)
EVERYTHING! Starting from the day I was born. Duh! childhood, school,Falling in love, police academy, just life really!
To your clarification of things we could redo now, I really don't believe there is anything I can redo as a woman now that would really change a thing for me, if i couldn't change it from my childhood.

Someone else mentioned the high school prom.... god, those kids are lucky nowadays.. I am a teacher and my school permits gay/lesbian kids to take same-sex dates to the proms, as well as being able to dress as the opposite sex.
I remember wearing a tuxedo, hating it, and being totally uncomfortable with my female date who I hardly knew how to "treat", such as how to put on a carnation for her, etc. lol. I was also stiff and awkward when we had to :icon_geekdance:

There weren't very many open LGBT students at my school. One girl wore a tux and brought her girlfriend to prom. But that was about it.
Lol! You cant relive your past, but id for sure have had other surgeons work on me.

I'd like to have had a childhood.
I'd say this too even though the reasons are likely different.
Well I like to believe if I was a girl from the start, I'd have more friends and socially function more properly.
That's what I'd like.

My school is very LGBT-friendly. I am fortunate to be working in such an environment and have a gay supervisor, so that enabled me to transition in the open. :)
