If there was no transphobia anywhere worldwide, then would you prefer to be cisgender over being transgender if you could magically become cisgender?

Any thoughts on this?

Nope, I like being trans. If there was no transphobia then I would have had an easier time being open about it and getting on with my life would have happened sooner. Cis is not synonymous with easy life. Trans is a wonderful thing to be. If I were alone in the world I would still be a trans woman.

Transphobia or not I would rather have been born CIS, one way or the other.

I think I would have had a much easier life being cis. Growing up, I never know why I didn't fit in with the guys. My adult years were lonely because friendships were really hard. I didn't piece the puzzle together until I was 50. Had nothing to do with transphobia. My family would have been accepting and I would have embraced my gender. I was just too clueless to figure it out.

I wish I could have been a cis woman.

However, being a trans woman is infinitely preferable to being a cis man.

What the...

Dude I'm not trans, because I'm reacting to how other people see me. I'm trans because of how I see myself.

EDIT: Meh, I wont speak for anyone other than myself here.

cis all the way. i still dream about being pregnant and thats the only way i could be pregnant

Absolutely.

No I would still want to be as I am.  Lack of transphobia would just make it easier.

I can't honestly say which I would want to be. Being cis would be great but I think being trans kept me out of a lot of bad situations. I think I might be a better person being trans than if i were cis. If I had been a cis woman I might have been the kind of teen who liked to party too much and I don't know where that would have lead.

Huh, this is actually an interesting question for me.  I tried to pick a cisgender to be born into -- it'd be nice to fit in, right?  I failed to pick one.  I've been identifying, more or less, as bigender recently.  I'd like to fit in with men and women... and I really can't decide which way I'd go.  Makes sense, I guess.  I wonder if this label will stick or if I'll have to learn a new one next month.

I would still be trans because that's who I am.

Well it would certainly make for an easier life, but an easy life didn't make me who I am...

I would absolutely choose the cis experience.

I would much rather be BORN cis, but since we didn't really specifically mention that I would say no. Besides, a lot of the time being trans seems a lot more fun than being cis in some ways (at least to me).

I have a feeling it wouldn't of mattered in my case. I would of been bullied either way. I just never fit in the social world. I would of liked to have kept holding my boyfriends hand when I was 6 and gone to the prom with him, but what you going to do.

Would prefer to be cis regardless. This stuff is expensive.

While there are definitely physical things that a cis male has that I want and currently have no way of obtaining, I'd probably say no. I am who I am, and there's nothing wrong with me.

yes, dilating sucks, so does eating pills everyday

I am what I am, I'm just changing the outside to match the inside.
If I could magically become a biological woman I would do it in a heartbeat, less than that I would do it in an attosecond. I'll just have to wait for rapid cloning and brain transplants.
I would not want to change what is inside to a cismale personality.

Same here.  Especially and definitely not cismale -- I'd take an encounter with Cthulu over that.  (Apologies to the T-men here.)

I don't really want to give up my history, though, but I would happily go for a less soul-destroying growing-up.
