Just think of all the challengers you would never of had. Not to mention the boredom of being like everyone else.

So you mean, being a want to be rockstar with a great voice, and looking totaly hot?

NO freaking way!!!!

I Am a rockstar, and I'm even hotter than before so on that...  though I really would like the great consistent singing voice for this stage too 

It would have had its perks... Id have been a pretty boy though... probably would have skipped all the druggie stuff and all that but... hey... eperiance, if you survive it, is a great thing

Yes I did for many years.....until I just accepted the fact that everything in my life always has to be difficult and very tough. After of years of trying to be what everyone wanted me to be which was very hard to do, I just accepted the fact that living with GID was easier then dying trying to repel it. I hope this makes sense....

It's what my mom is trying to make happen.

"Give that girl inside of you a chance."

You know? I can't find her. And maybe if I could, and if I was her, I'd be a lot happier and suffer a lot less. Maybe I would go for that. If there was a magical bagel I could eat that would suddenly make me identify as female, I might just think of eating that bagel for the sake of my happiness, safety, health, and career.

But since there is no magic bagel, I'm not going to try to force myself to be female.

If it was a choice between being cisgendered male and cisgendered female, I'd pick male. I'm a comedian, and being a woman is TOUGH in that industry. My GID seems to be a coincidence with that factor. The fact that I already act masculine and look masculine seems to make me somewhat a good comedian (NOT that girls AREN'T funny, but let's be HONEST with ourselves here...) and I know this since I performed in front of an audience of about 1,000 and I was highly successful... all this playing a male character and more than half of the audience convinced that I was a cisgendered male...

With that aside, I'd also choose to be cismale because in my current state of mind I feel I'd be happier that way. But the truth is that being cis-anything would make the person happy because their gender identity matches their sex.

Sure, life might have been easier, but I am the person I am because of this strange gift, and there are some amazing people in my life because of it. Besides, I already did try living as a male for many years, and it wasn't so great. Being me is much more interesting.

Sometimes I wish for that, but I know that will never be possible so I am just going to play out the hand that I was dealt.

Maybe, but I'd be so dull, then. I am much better as a neutral minded person with feminine desires.

QuoteEver just wish you were a genuine member of your birth sex?

If I were, then I would be brain damaged.  Because I would not be me.

No, I wish my body matched my birth gender, so I'd still be ME mentally.  My mind is male; I never once wished I were a 'real woman'.

I didn't want to play with the girls; I wanted to play with the boys, but the boys (at least at school) wouldn't let me play because 'girls had cooties' !

yeah. Transkids are just screwed all around on the playground. Our birth sex peeps don't want us around and even if our birth gender peeps like us, it's still not the same. Specially around puberty time. Suddenly, the guys won't hang with you cause the pretty girls hate you so they won't be caught dead being your friend.
Yeah, we're pretty screwed. If I sound bitter, it's cause I am. 

I always thought I was a guy which is why I called myself a CD for a long time. Now I am letting go and become more relaxed about myself I relise that I am just a member of the human race, ending up female will be a bonus.

Life would be so much easier if i was my birth sex, i just can't imagine what it'd be like.  But it wouldn't be me so and its so weird to try to imagine, it makes my brain hurt!

And no offence Nero, but I'd hate to be a boy any way, their icky! 

QuoteI'd hate to be a boy any way, their icky!

Who you calling icky! I might not be that manly in personality, but I just couldn't help myself. It was too funny to let pass. I apologize for derailing this topic. Please continue.

OMG, If that happened then i would be Self-Ccenter and Narcistic instead of self absorb with transitioning and what you think of me...

OMG, Maybe my brain would turn off.....

What's weird about my childhood was that I was accepted as like one of the boys. They knew I was a girl but they didn't seem to care about the cooties thing. I was "different." My whole life I've had guys tell me, "I don't know what it is, but you're different from the other girls." Haha... if only they knew. And maybe they will one day.

I played with boys and girls about equally, I'd say. Well, maybe the boys a LITTLE more because I played soccer with them a lot.

Mom!  Jenny said I was icky cuz I'm a boy!!!
