Are you happy with your sex?, and why?

I like being male.

But often envy females of a variety of things.

For instance, Even modern females get to be the pickers and choosers to a large degree, counting on their looks and charms to attract males, then reject what they have no interest in. its a numbers game for them just as it is for males but different. with males its also a numbers game, but we have to be the agressor and have to deal with all the rejections all the time before finding one that takes interest that we also find attractive. I get sick of having to deal with all the rejection issues.

Secondly, females are so damed pretty, sometimes I think of how nice it would be to have a body like that just for a little while, just so I can go explore and play with it

Also, I envy thy can have children, if I could have done that I would have started a family early in life, instead of having to wait till I was in my 30's and then again mid 40's. I love children and being a parent!

I'm sort of glad I'm a girl, but there are a few things about me that people would see as more of a boy's thing. Like my taste in music, more boys like the rock music bands from the 1990's than girls. But I'm glad I'm a girl. If I was male, though, I woluld still have long hair, or at least, long for a boy, by which I mean down to the shoulders. I like boys with hair that long.

I wear baggy men's clothes except for jeans but I still like being a girl because if I were a dude I'd have long hair and get crap for it. There would be twice as much pressure on me if I were a guy.

There are some things I could live without, but being female is fine.

I strongly identify as male. My biological gender is female, but I feel male right down to the phantom penis. I've felt that I was born the wrong gender since I was 3. At that age, I've noticed that there was a very important part of my anatomy missing. I've felt very male on the inside since I was 3. I wanted to grow up to be big and strong like my uncles on my mum's side of the family. I got my wish there. I don't look female. I also speak with my voice as deep as I can have it. I didn't want to have slender arms, breasts, curves and a period. I prayed to God every night that I'd grow up to look like my favourite member of my favourite band, convinced that I was a Beatles Fan and John Lennon was my favourite Beatle. (It turns out that I've been a Mick Avory/Kinks Fan all along and God knew that, even when I was 12 and saying those prayers). If I had the money, I'd transition to being a man - something I've always wanted to be and felt that I was.

Oh, s**t. I've just LGBTed this thread.

There's nothing wrong with sharing how you feel, Mick.

I'm a woman and perfectly happy with it. I only wish people wouldn't use their prejudices about women on me.

"So you like shoes and shopping"
"No I don't, I'm a gamer.."
"Ah so you're an ugly lesbian!"
"...... "

Women are just so damn much nicer to look at. I wonder soemtimes how that would feel.

And there are certain issues in my life that are sort of seen as women's issues. I think I could be more open about them, be taken more seriously and looked down upon less for them, if I were female.

Still, overall, I like being a man. It suits me. I don't take gender roles very seriously, I dislike the way they are enforced. But, with my personality, I fit most "traditional" male expectations, which makes being a man easy for me.

i like being a boy because i like working to make a woman feel good. I don't envy woman because i admire and love them.

Short answer: I don't know - there are behaviors and attitudes I enjoy about both genders, and I'm not sure which one I identify with more.

There's a part of me that enjoys being female, since I like typically feminine things like bright colors, flowers, butterflies, cats, pretty anime characters and "cute things".

BUT, there's another part of me that wishes I could enjoy some of the perks of being a guy, such as the ability to be a "gentleman" or a "prince charming", presumably having an easier time getting a girlfriend instead of trying to figure out if the girls I like are into other girls, and not get crap for liking to have a short haircut. I currently wear very feminine clothes - never a dress, but tops and bottoms with bright colors and cutesy designs. But for several months to a year I have been toying with the idea of dressing in men's clothing. I finally brought it up to my mom the other day, and while she was very supportive, I'm still having second thoughts. Particularly because I couldn't answer my mom's question of "why?"

I've gone through phases where I was very unhappy about being a guy. I got along better with girls than boys as a kid. I was sensitive & HATED sports & other boys seemed like bullies to me. I never had a lot of friends but the girls were more my friends than boys were. It changed when puberty hit thou & I kind of felt like I was born the wrong sex. I was considered gay for being sensitive, hating sports, & because of the music & some of the TV shows I liked. I also had no interest in dating or relationships as a teen. I didn't think I was gay because I was defiantly NOT attracted to other guys & was attracted to women but I wasn't attracted to them the way other guys were. When it comes to relationships; I'm NOT like a typical guy in them. I'm sensitive, like discussing feelings I'd make a better house-husband than provider due to disabilities. I had very bad luck getting in a relationship for those reasons & others; women thought I was nice & sweet but they didn't like me in that way. Having depression when frustrated about being lonely & feeling like I didn't conform to the male gender role caused me to feel like I was born the wrong sex & at least a little jealous of the women's role with dating & other things. I'm completely over my depression now & have a wonderful girlfriend who likes me the way I am & I don't feel like I was born the wrong sex now; I made peace with being a guy & accepted that I just don't conform to the male gender role.

Ugh, no. I mostly just hate what society expects of me due to my gender though.

I don't feel like I have any strong gender affiliation. When I was a child I thought girls were dreadful and I avoided them because they were so boring and young girls make this high pitched squealing noise that I don't like. But I didn't like gender expectations for males because I preferred being more reserved and I wasn't very aggressive or physical. The only things that really make me male (apart from my body) I think are that I am very direct and that I'm sexually attracted to females. It sounds kind of weird to me that it's possible for transgendered people to feel like they have a phantom penis. I still don't even know how to use my own penis very well yet; I have trouble getting erections sometimes when I want them. It takes a degree of conscious effort to make mine do what I want it to and I don't think most men have that problem. It always felt like a useless thing that I didn't want when I was a kid, but I never felt as though I should be a woman either. Sometimes I used to wish I were a woman because I wanted to have more control over my reproductive destiny, but I think that had more to do with being bitter about having so little control it rather than wishing for any sort of female identity.

I kind of like being a guy because it seems like it's easier for men to take the attitude, "I don't give a damn what you think, I'm doing what I want!" This attitude is the easiest way of dealing with social difficulties.
