I hate my body.. it's a mans body and it doesn't feel like mine. i wish that i could just do that thing from freaky friday where they swapped bodies and just swap mine with a guy who hates his girl body. wouldn't that just be fantastic? i wish it was that easy.. but it's not. a girl can dream though :)

You know at one point in my life i would have agreed with you.

But as I get older I'm not so sure anymore. I understand emotionally exactly where you are coming from, it would have been nice to be fertile etc...

But to be honest I love my body now... and of course because I have no ovaries they can't ever discontinue my HRT so I'll get to keep my estrogen enhanced youthful look for much much longer than a natal female body.

I'll switch 'ya!  Are you up for Chinese? 

Really though, if I could give away my female parts to you or anyone else I would.  Unfortunately, we just have to do the best we can with what we've got.

Yep

But; wishes are dishes for the poor.

We have to work with what we have got.

I don't know...I never got into the "body swap" thing. I like my genes, for the most part, I like my build, I like my relative size and strength and metabolism (considering that all of those are currently under female hormonal influence). I like my family's tendencies as regards body hair (not much) and head hair (keep it forever). I don't want to look in the mirror and see someone else's face looking back at me. I want my face, my body, just male.

Maybe if I'd been born in a different body I'd have grown to like it. But I've kind of grown accustomed to mine. It's tough and resilient and stands up to all manner of abuse, and still after over two decades of being abused with mass doses of high fructose corn syrup, alcohol, alternating periods of sedentary lifestyle and extreme physical demands, sleep deprivation, and five years of smoking, it still retains the potential to be reasonably attractive. I have a winner, it just needs some tweaking.

That's true.  I wouldn't really want to be in a stranger's body, and the only problem I have with mine is that it's female.  I would probably get behind a parts swapping deal, though.  I'd be more than happy to hand off certain parts of my anatomy.

Oh yeah, they can so have the parts!

No thanks - I've got my own designer versions

And weird as it may seem I've just come off the phone from my doctor after getting my blood results back (Little check up after 30 years on HRT) and he seems to think that perhaps something in my body is making near normal female levels of estrogen - because my blood levels are higher than the dosage I'm taking could ever have produced.

The very  first transsexual I ever met was FtM in 1964 and we had this all figured out then! We just couldn't figure out how to accomplish it 

I would have given 20 years off my life to be fertile .....

On the other hand, 36 years after SRS, it seems I am more sensitive than most GG's ..... maybe I will keep what I have.

I have entertained the notion, but I keep coming back to the same problem...

A part of who I am is physical.
There is evidence supporting the suggestion that gender is formed as a part of the brain.
If we were to switch bodies, then I would get her brain and she would get mine.
Wouldn't that just mean that I'd change from an FTM to an MTF and vice versa?

Totally agree!

Omg there was this girl at school, and I was like "I would so trade my body for that" in my head. She is like almost perfection, except she doesn't have my "facial quality".... I want to resemble me a bit lol.

But this guy made my day today, since he opened the door for me.... I don't know why he did it though since I just stood there for a second thinking if I should go or not. Then I just walked.

And he told me his dream summer it would be sitting by the beach with a girl next to him.... and he isn't even that attractive!!! Eh I so hate my body.

--the gender dysphoria is so strong today---

One of my favourite day dreams involves the lovely lady in my avatar (death of the endless if you didn't know ) and a near death experience but it's not my time...I get offered the choice of passing on, or just going straight back...only in going back I'm the way I should be. hehe

I was just thinking (no a serious thought) I wish there was an experimental doctor who would like to experiment on my body to change me to an almost genetic woman, like so genetic it be like a regular gg is masculine in comparison to me.

I would risk my life if there was a possibility to become my ideal form, that sounds so awful, but it so be worth it if I came out with the results I want.

I agree with everyone here, I wouldn't some one elses body or face. 

This reminded me of an MtF friend of mine, and how we used to greet each other. She would pretend to grab my chest and put it on herself, while I would mime trading genitals. People thought we were weird for some reason.

oh sorry i guess i didn't explain it very well.. i didn't mean the actual resemblance of the person I just meant curves/flat chest, small hands/big hands that sort of thing :)

Hmm I just saw an image in my mind of all these people standing behind little tables on a market sqaure. "I've got big hands to offer! Big hands here!" one of the sellers shouted while a buyer takes a stop at a male bodied individual and glances down "Hm, I like the shape, but I don't think the size will do.."

That's quite an odd meat market right there where some folk will always be left out due to aesthetic standards...

/morning ramble...

Only if "I like the shape, but I don't think the size will do.." can be with this stereotypical, fat Russian accent... 

"Wot you mean guv'nor, finest big 'ands this side of the river...lurverly big 'ands...came from a 7' tall concert pianist...biggest an' mos' shapely 'ands you can get."

"Big 'ands....lurverly big 'ands!"

Bah - trouble is I've got nothing left that I want to swap...

Unless one of you wants a spare tyre to go round your lower abdomen...

It's not exactly a stomach - it's far too low for that. It more like hip fat which has somehow slipped round to the front...

No No that would be - "Five for a Pahnd and I'll throw in a couple of luverly size nine plates of meat guvnor"

I wasn't born within the sound of bow bells - I was just up the road in the decidedly posh Dame Josephine Barnes clinic in Hampstead but we lived in London so I got to hear the accent a lot... even if my lot were rather more apt to say things more like "This is a dashed rhum do and no mistake. That bally lazy maid has left my shoes lying arind all abite the hice"
