Title: A really weird thought
Post by: Calistine on November 09, 2009, 04:26:42 PM
So yeah, of course because I am male I do not miss living as female, I don't consider myself to ever have been, and I feel trapped when I feel like I have to pay large amounts to be the man I am. BUT, I have some weird guilt. Because transsexuals are more publicized and more common as mtfs, they talk about how they grow into men and become big hairy monsters. They have to pay so much to have a vagina which I was born with. And I am more attracted to girls, so it seems like being male is the negative thing. It bothers me a little..anyone else feels this way? I feel like it may be related to feeling trapped between the two genders.

Being male is not a bad thing.

And I see all the female things I grew into (or rather that grew into me) in my life as disgusting.  Does that make it an awful thing to be female?  No.  Its just not right for me.

Switch mtf around and change 'vagina' to 'penis' and you have your answer.

Everyone has different needs. We're all different. There is no one solution for a condition because even down to the chemicals, people can react differently to one thing.

Transition is a selfish thing, however, that doesn't make it bad.

I hated my uterus from the time I found out a) that I had one and b) what it was going to do and c) especially once it started doing its thing.  From it's shape and location to its monthly disgust, I was horrified by it.

I'm sure many ladies here feel the same way about their penises and testicles.

The day I had those parts cut out was one of the happiest days of my life, right up there with the births of my children (hey, I wanted kids, so I used them, and while a surreal experience, I'm glad I did).

I'm finally glad I can just be male, as short and nerdy as I am.  I can be ME.

Nothing negative about males O_o
Males are cute, cuddley, can be sweet, fun and helpful :D I love men ^^

There are monstrous men out there, like apes and stuff.. but there are bitchy women too.

I know my boyfriend is far from a monster or negative that he is a man :D and will always give me a cuddle and snuggle which I am sad.
