I'd want to be more confident socially. I missed out on a lot because I didn't come out of my shell.

This. So very much.

I have two answers,,,,

if I could change things and I was born a girl..... then I would loved to have been a cheer leader... I love the uniform.. when I was young teenage cross dresser I had a cheer leader skirt.. i loved wearing it. Actually I still have it... it does not fit anymore... as hrt widened my hips...


If I was unable to change my sex... I would loved to embraced my transsexualism at a earlier age... I embraced my transsexualism at 19.. i would loved to embraced it around 15 or 16... because at that age i was regularly wearing female clothes.

I ended up with a useless college degree and a semi-cool job that didn't pay.  I was the ultimate underachiever and now I know exactly why. 

Yes, I know this story all too well.  The irony in my case is that in my last year of high school I was voted runner-up to Most Likely to Succeed.  If only they'd known. . .

But as for the question in the OP, what would you change besides your gender, I can't answer that because for me gender issues were the overwhelming issue, the one I needed to address rather than repress.

I suppose I could say that I wish I hadn't been given the strict religious upbringing that I had, but then that would be the major reasons why my gender issues were ignored.

I would find a way to prevent my biological Mom from going out the night she died. That night I not only lost my Mom, the only person I had in this world, but I lost a friend and mentor too. Being only 6 at the time it may have taken some creativity, but I'd have done anything, given anything to have saved her. If I had a chance to go back and change the outcome of that awful night even at only 6 years old I would find a way. All I'd have to do is keep her home somehow.

Ali

Without gender in the mix, I would take back that fateful day when I broke my back.  I gained a ton of weight, lost my athleticism, and have been forever haunted both physically and professionally because of it...  I'd seriously probably still weight 140 had it not happened

What would I change? (I'm known for over thinking, so bare with me)

I often wonder, if my life might of been better if I had done a lot of things differently coming out sooner for one. But It always leads me to the same place, if I did, I would not know what I know now. So would  change anything? No to do so would change myself.

Perhaps a better question might of been, in what way do I wonder how different my lif might of been?

I wonder what life would of been like if I wasn't so insecure.

Since I couldn't change anything about my gender it would be, telling myself & my parents about being gluten intolerant and lactose intolerant. We didn't figure it all out until a few years ago after going to a lot of useless doctors over the years but both of those issues always caused me GREAT amounts of abdominal pain, farting & intestinal issues and caused me to go to the hospital on my 9th birthday to have exploratory surgery on my abdomen. The resulting scar that goes from my waist, around my belly button and up to where my ribs start and has caused me so much emotional pain over the years. I couldn't take my shirt off from 9 years old until I graduated high school or I'd get laughed at, taunted, called monster or kids would run away screaming. It doesn't look bad now but still if it weren't there I would feel so much better.
