A question of gender: Would you rather be male or female?

Post Reply New Topic

I mostly don't care. Female is fine. Male would've been okay too.

I'm female and I would rather be genderless. I hate how society had predetermined ideas about each gender, gender roles and such. I don't want people to make assumptions about me or fit me into some predefined box or role based on gender.

As I see it, in an ideal world we'd either all be hermaphrodites, or sexless fruit-people spawned from massive womb-trees in gigantic forests of these same trees. These trees would be the only reproducing element of the human species, and all we, the intelligent, mobile part of the species, would have to worry about would be to be as far away from home when we die so that the seeds we'd be carrying inside us would spread to new earth.

So yeah, genderless.

Once when I was very little I wished I was a boy so that I could, well you know use the loo in a certen way (I was only 4 back then) but since then I've always loved being a girl and would not want it any other way!

I still fancy boys though....

Ta now

I tend to think that we are all have varying male and female attributes.

As babies, almost all of us had the same sexual organs which differentiated into either male or female parts.

We had gill slits too : )

I'm a girl and I like being a girl. I love clothes, make-up and boys and other such things.

I would rather be genderless. Life would be better.

I'm not just comfortable being female. I love being female! I find it hard to understand why anyone wouldn't want to be female. I'm very much a girly girl, with mostly stereotypically "male" interests.

Of course, it's entirely possible I'd feel the same about being male, if I were male. I've never been male, so I don't know. I probably wouldn't miss the girly stuff, since it's unlikely I'd have tried it.

I think in terms of brain chemistry, I'm pretty much neutral. It's why I love things like makeup and heels and skirts, but also love football, video games, and action movies. Before we were a couple, my husband said I was his "girl friend who likes cool guy stuff." I'm much more at home being "one of the guys" than "one of the girls." My ex-fiance's roommate once walked up to me after a bad date and stated, "I don't understand your gender! Wait, I forgot, you are a guy in a skirt!" I wasn't a bit offended, as I like being one of the guys just fine.

I'm a female, but I'd rather be male. Oddly enough, to me, this SEEMS genderless, as it's males who aren't almost wholly defined by how they look and other arbitrary gender signifiers. There's an anonymity in baggy, comfortable clothing, an unpainted face, and a body with natural hair that isn't afforded to women.

I'm very happy being female.

I'm happy to be female

Does genderless mean I still get to wear makeup but don't have to have periods? That one then.

Can I be emotionless? Please? I want to be pure metal and cold wires, no feelings, no humanity.

Men have easier life than women. So I'd rather be a man, but being a woman doesn't bother me.
