the idea of being cisgendered female vs transgendered female doesn't strike me with many differences besides having periods, cis privilige, ability by default to blend most naturally with other females. other than that, it's impossible to determine anything else that comes with it.

I don't think a day has gone by in over 14 years where it doesn't cross my mind at least once.

I would gladly give up my current life if it meant I could start again as a ciswoman, to be honest.

My mother is somewhat ambivalent about being a natal female. 

   I pray every night to be reincarnated into a cisgender woman when i die. 




   Being trans sucks.

   Lol

  Why Canadian? 

Yes, of course I've thought about it. I want the last 16 years of my life BACK - I want all those memories erased and replaced by ones that don't entirely suck. If I'd been able to transition pre-puberty, I wouldn't really care. But I wasn't, so I do.

before my transition I often wondered. Since my transition I give it very little thought. To be honest, I very rarely think of myself as trans anymore. The only time I am reminded of it is when I come to Susan's. I've been fulltime for so long, the whole trans issue just isn't on my mind anymore.

Working and going to grad school where everybody knows I am a female also helps me to forget the trans issue.

I am fairly certain I now know what it's like to be cisgender as a woman.

Kia Ora,

I'm a neo-cis-women.......

I often imagine how my life would have gone differently, had I been born female.

The question that bothers me is, had I been born a woman, might I still have been transgender, in a grass is always greener kind of way.

I like snow, northern canada has a lot of it.

If I were cis I wouldn't have realized how much of a douche bag everyone is.

Pretty sure your attitude wouldn't change. You'd still be 14 year old with the wisdom of Yoda.

Do you ever wonder what its like to be acisgender woman?

Every hour of every day.

Other than that not much.

   Probably not much different then it is to be a trans woman just add monthly bleeding to your schedule. 

I doubt that's true. There's a massive amount of socialization that's different, more so the older you are when you begin transition.

Not really. I've yet to meet an older transitioner I could relate to like an older parent or mother. Like they were presenting as males too long and weren't belivable...

I'm much feeling like Annah put it for herself. I'm past all these GID feeding regrets by now - I decided.
If I'm down it is for other reasons then having a trans-history.
Life moves forward - not back.
I'm a female with a trans-history as someone not long ago had put it.

I am who I am, and so better get on with the job of being who I am.

Do I pine over e.g. not being some delicate blond fluff-heady cis-female or butch lesbian that hates her periods and calls it the curse? Nahh, not really.

Being just me will just have to do for this time around :-)

I have no idea what is it like to be a woman.

As I don't technically have GID. But doesn't make me any less valid here.

I'm not sure I follow. You disagree with my comment...and then say that older transitioners are hard to relate to ..?

Did you mean to put "couldn't"?


My point was that there are things, as someone said earlier) that cis women get to live through that we don't (good and bad, actually)

going through puberty and high school and all that stuff - and at the proper age, not having your first boyfriend ever when you are 50 - makes a difference i think.

Honey, sadly you do have a point. +1 for speaking your truth.
Hey, I'm an exception of course - since I pass with flying colours by all and sundry, excluding myself though, grrr :-)

As always YMMV, hum

I mean having a family, having children, living the role of a straight man takes its toll. It's the hardest shell to shed when becoming a woman.
