I always thought Nichole Richey was too thin.  Like if you tossed her a bag of groceries you would knock her over - not to mention she would have no idea what to do with it.

Its good to weigh more than your purse.

I too am too thin.  I was 84 lbs for a long time... I think with all this working out (which makes me eat a lot more), I may have gained some weight. But I'm sure I'm still under 90. My doctors say it isn't too unusual, since it runs in my family and I have small bones.

I would say yes for a couple of reasons... I'd like to relive ages 8 to about 18... I think that would have been
a kick as Amanda. And I really would have liked to be able to carry children... that would be pretty awesome...
and if I had a choice... I would have liked to have been straight to go along with it.

If I was born male, I don't think I'd be a whole lot different... except maybe I'd be more into girls and I'd have the "tough guy" chip on my shoulder because I'm so short... lol.

I used to. I tried pretty hard to construct that identity, since it was what everyone around me seemed to expect of me. (Who am I kidding "seemed to expect" -- it's absolutely what they expected.) I'm pretty much sick of it. I have no desire to be "one of the guys" anymore. I'm just myself, whether I'm playing with the boys or the girls, whatever persona I might be wearing. The trouble is that "myself" is a pretty mixed up pile of confusion and uncertainty these days. I always wanted to be "one of the girls" as long as I had any conception what that meant.

rockstar?

NO WAY.

i'd much rather be Xena warrior princess.  just with a lightsaber!^_^

lol, Anwyn

i love being the Warrior Princess, it would have been quite on honor to fight beside the legendary Xena, not to mention other things...lol

Actually, going through puberty at 47 sounds kinda fun....   Bring on the testosterone and let's party!!

and bring on the Corona!

Red wine for me, thanks. I'll pass on the T, I'd be happy to swap mine for your E though

I do wish I never would have had to deal with all this, yeah.

But...eh, I guess I just want to be me. If someone offered to do some kind of brain-feckup so that I would believe I were a normal boy, never thinking I'd ever been otherwise, no repercussions or any remembrance of this at all. No second thoughts...

I would decline.

If someone offered to turn back time, to when I was concieved, to alter something that would make me just a normal boy...

I would decline.


Because...while I do wish I would never have had to deal with this, I -am- dealing with it now, and I -am- hoping that I will get through this and be a better person because of it.

I don't want all this pain and suffering to have been in vain, I really don't.

It's hard to really understand, I guess...I don't understand it either, but right now, I just want to be me. And I'm still in the process of finding out who that is. I couldn't get anyone else to create me, for me.

I guess that one makes sense, actually.


No one else can tell you who you are.

I don't think I could ever truly be female

I'm sure I would have just found something else to complain about.

EXCELLENT point.

I mean, if I was a content female, I'd still say, "My bewbs are too small!" and "My hands are too masculine!" Fortunately, on the flip side, I like these things about myself because I identify as male, but now the issue lies with my very feminine body, which looks very much like this:

I think I'm 1 or 2 inches taller than her, maybe...!

I feel like I waste a pretty good body. I know so many girls who'd kill to look like me and I want to bulk it up with T. 

I will TRADE you and I'll pay for the transplant. I had a REALLY great body, it's a little skinny now, but put it back on T and it'll be like brand new.

Life would just be so much easier if I were the 'real mccoy'.
Any thoughts on this?

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'. 

Jay

yeah, sounds kind of crazy but for a lot of my childhood, i just wanted to be a normal girl. I used to cry because the other girls wouldn't let me play. LOL

No I can relate... I was always the weird boy in groups of friends even. Its not that I wanted to be a normal boy, its that I REALLY TRIED at some points. I mean... Up til like... This year. I was SO physically fit. I'd obsess over it. Maybe being in denial made me try harder or something... Whatever. I'm so out of shape right now, I can barely go down the stairs after a game of laser tag XD.

hey hon. nice to see you again.

i mean your assigned gender. so for a woman, i'm asking if you would rather have just been a normal male than deal with all this.

Is that a picture of Nero IRL (avatar)?

I just had to say... Your eyes look elvish and like... Sharp. Hard to explain.

Just had to comment!!! Lol

I like them, because it almost makes me feel like they're peering into my brain and taking a look, and not being like... Scared or anything, and just kind of confidently grinning and knowing or something...

Its kind of reassuring I guess?
