Not a transgender exclusive question. Cis people can answer too.

Personally I can't shake the feeling my life would've been much better if I had been born male, and I can't stand the thought of being stuck in this body till I'm 80 or so. I completely hate being a woman and I've been treated like shit for being one.
If I was a boy I feel like I'd receive love and encouragement instead of discouragement and abuse. Being a girl ruined my life.

Anyone else here feel like they would've had an easier time if they were born in the opposite gender?

Yeah I've always felt like this. I know I'm not trans, but I always kinda wished I was born a male instead. Thought it would make things easier for me, at least certain aspects of life. I've never been too in touch with my feminine side, always been a tomboy, and I'm bisexual with a slight preference for girls. I hate dealing with periods, being expected to have children and always having this standard of what a women looks like and acts like over my head. No matter how much I worked out and took supplements, I'll pretty much always be weaker than half of the population. I can't walk around alone without the fear of being harrassed, even if I'm looking a mess dressed in an oversized shirt and sweats. At the end of the day, I know both sexes deal with their fair share of bullshit and it probably wouldn't change much in regards to where I've ended up.(wanting to ctb)

i loathe being a man and all it entails, and am conceived it will forever be another source of misery and shame to me. however, i don't feel like any of this would be improved if i had been born a woman instead. it just doesn't seem realistic. sure plenty of things would be vastly different, but all they'd amount to is different misery, different shame. especially being born a woman in this kind of country, in this kind of brainless hyper-religious family would have opened me up to so much emotional and maybe even sexual abuse. it sounds like pure torture so i just have to begrudgingly accept my maleness, even though it often feels unbearable. the better choice would be to never have been born, to not exist as any gender. that's the only way to avoid this kind of pain.

I hate being a man. I feel so gross and disgusting, and men are known to do horrible shit to women and I hate being associated with that! But also I find my body so disgusting, especially with all the body hair and facial hair and just the whole form grosses me out I hate being tall too, I feel like a massive freak. And my anatomy is disgusting too.

I understand that women face many more problems and a great deal of oppression, and logically I shouldn't want to be one, but I hate everything about being male, I'd rather die than live like this.

Ive tried transitioning because I wanted to make an attempt at being happy and making life worth living, but in reality you can only do so much to transition, and most trans women won't pass. But even if I did pass my biology is still wrong, and I will never have the same experiences as natal females.

Interesting, most posts have the word "hate". Is there a place for non-haters to post?

I'm a man who would prefer to be a woman, simply because they are worth more than I. I understand that men and women are equal, and that women are always more equal. Men are disposable. It's not part of some plot, just the way human evolution has left us, at this stage. I've simply grown very weary of 2nd place always and 1st place never. 'Seems obvious and natural feelings of a 2nd place life. Having reached the end of my days, I ask myself, "Do I really want even more of this?" I see passing on as blessed relief, not tragedy.

I don't hate my gender at all, and I don't mean to be rude/upsetting to anyone here, but I feel extremely comfortable with it. The issue I have however is that I feel like I embody so many of the archetypical and stereotypical characteristics that personify being a man that I often get pre-judged by my appearance and I am not allowed to show much emotion at all.

I'm rather large physically, I'm decisive, outspoken, and am assertive in social/professional situations. It is my natural default but it makes it so people don't expect me to display much of what I'm feeling, and boy, do I feel a lot.

I am well educated (first generation college graduate) and before my bipolar spiraled out of control I had a stellar career, but because of my physique the vast majority of people assume I'm some thoughtless mouth-breathing buffoon. It hurts me a lot. I value my intellect highly and it is discredited by people before they even hear me speak. Friends and women I've dated have admitted to me they thought as much before they got to know me. I fucking hate it.

Figured I'd thrown in a picture for context to elucidate my point.

P.S. Sorry if this feels like an out of place response, but given it is a discussion that encircles gender norms/expectations it felt relevant.

i've always thought about what it's like to be a dude but i've never actually wanted to be one. the only thing i envy about guys is how tall most of them are and how the world still revolves around them and the patriarchy (not so much the first world anymore, but third world countries are still very shitty to women).

anyways... to all the cis guys here who wish they were a girl (excluding the ones who think they could be trans), it's not all sunshine and rainbows over here. apart from our insides self-destructing and gushing blood for a week of each month, it's just... tough, and sometimes even scary. daily tasks you currently do without a second thought (walking home on your own, going to the grocery store alone) are daunting for most women. we constantly have the prospect of being raped, kidnapped, sex-trafficked, etc. sitting in the back of our minds. we always have to have our guard up. it's more than tiring. obviously these things can happen to men, but being a woman typically comes with sometimes fearing for your life whenever doing something trivial. i always have to carry a knife and mace because anything's possible. it sucks ass. the worst part is that shit like this makes radical feminists push the notion that "all guys are creeps!11!!!1" and other bs like that. i feel bad for the majority of guys out there who get a bad name. most of y'all are just average, everyday dudes.

being either sex has its ups and downs. no one gender is better than the other. that's how i feel at the very least.

I wish to be a female as a boy you are in constant fight or flight mode. If you are a boy you need to be an alpha. Alpha gets listening from other people and they have to fight. Yes we are taught to be strong but this is occupied by hidding our feelings. So its not that great being a man.

Be greatful for being a female. Its a blessing

Wow maximum respect to you you're in great shape. I for one wouldn't stereotype you as i know how much time, effort and knowledge getting in that sort of shape requires. Many moons ago i was in good shape, but i don't think i quite matched you. Years ago my workout partner for about 1 year was a PhD and in the best shape i'd ever seen of anyone in real life, he used to compete as an amateur. When i was in shape i used to get a kick out of being objectified by gay men and straight women lol :^) i guess that was a bit shallow of me.

Gender is a spectrum, because brains are not binary.
I have learned that there are much more people who have some problems with their sex and gender, biologically and socially than people who actually transition...
Many of this are gender roles that are still very rigid in most communities but some people actually experience dissociation with some characteristics of their bodies that are gender specific... My ex wanted to have a penis for instance but she identifies as a female.

I can understand your rather wanting to be a male, although I think your reasoning is flawed. As a male, getting admiration is generally harder; their worth is to a larger extend reliant on their status, their achievements, and so they have a lower baseline of worth so to speak. A male has no 'inherent worth', his value lies in the use he can be to society through his work.


Now, that said, imo women have it a lot harder in our society and I often said that I'm glad I was born a man,- so I agree with you.

First of all women are basically reduced to their looks and their 'reproductive capabilities' (feminism may have lessened this tendency but I am giving a very simplistic account, which is also only my opinion btw); this means that the worth society places upon women will almost certainly decline as they age, because they inevitabily lose their two most valuable assets. They also can't make up for this loss as easily as men.

Secondly women are more vulnerable physically; although this means people are usually more protective of them, it still is something that I see as a net negative.

Thirdly, women still aren't really taken seriously in a lot of domains, just as African Americans and other groups who are discriminated against. Everyone can observe this kind of racism in himself with enough honesty btw.

Women have more physical ailments than men; they have periods, they have to bear children, and so forth.

So yeah, I agree and I wouldn't want to change gender even if I could. Women in our society have, on average, less power.

Edit: this all depends heavily on the organization of a society though and ours has really come a long way. One thing a lot of men would surely envy women for is the relative ease of finding someone to copulate with as a woman :-P

Edit2: I think you could also say: it is harder being young as a male and harder to be old as a woman in our society, in general.

Oppression? Women are already the most privileged sex in western society, yet feminism still demands more. It's like a monster with insatiable hunger that continues to hide behind a false victim narrative and long debunked lies like the gender pay gap. Western society is heavily gynocentric.

I wish I was born a girl. Then I wouldn't be stuck with this hairy and ugly body. Men in general are just ugly compared to women. I would be allowed to express emotions and cry. Nobody would expect me to be strong and dominant. I wouldn't have to be the one to initiate. I wouldn't be constantly demonized by left wing media and feminists.

Whenever I wake up and realize that I had a "wet dream" I just want to kill myself and unfortunately that happens quite frequently and why? All because I hate masturbating as a man. Even the supposed height of the act is plain disappointing to me. In that regard women have it better. Much stronger sexual pleasure and orgasms so powerful that they could even pass out for a few seconds. Women also don't have to worry about their sexual organs not being good enough to please the opposite sex. A man has to worry about coming too fast, his sexual organs being too small and having erectile dysfunction. As soon as we come we're also extremely tired and our libido decreases. Women don't have to worry about having random boners either. I also wouldn't have been mutilated in the name of a god I don't even believe in (circumcision). What men have between their legs is viewed as ugly even by women. What women have between their legs is viewed as beautiful by everyone. Seriously I just hate this thing between my legs.

Random boners...wet dreams...women's vaginas are considered beautiful!? Since when? They are mocked, treated with disgust, women get surgery on their labia, have to remove hair, get told they smell of fish...women can opt out of parenthood (some women are forced to keep children conceived of rape as our reproductive rights are stripped away. The trauma of abortion or adoption is lifelong, or consider forced pregnancy in marriage).

Women found not guilty in the court of public opinion?! (women are pilloried and scrutinised EVERYWHERE, we have recently had a suicide of a female celebrity unfairly decimated by the media).

It's illegal to have genitals mutilated as a baby?!(1 girl is forced to undergo EXTREME genital mutilation every 11 seconds, included having her clitoris cut out with an unsterilised boxcutter with no anaesthesia in many countries, including in the West and the barbaric practice is spreading).

Women free to express emotions?! If women express emotions we are called hysterical, unstable, neurotic, clingy and much worse. Or we get diagnosed with a mental illness more frequently.

Our health issues being given more funding LOLOLOL, try even attempting to be diagnosed with endometriosis or getting a hysterectomy, women's pain is frequently minimised. Try having medications not work for you or seatbelts not be designed for you because the male body is seen as the default. Socially unacceptable for partners to hit you...domestic abuse has been legalised in Russia. In the UK, 2 women a week die of DV and the rates in the U.S are horrific. No one seems to give a fuck tbh. On domestic abuse websites it is acknowledged most domestic abuse from females stops at a slap (doesn't make it right, but put it in perspective with the LEADING CAUSE OF PREMATURE DEATH IN WOMEN WORLDWIDE BEING MURDER BY MEN). False rape claims against men are about 3 percent of rape cases and this is actually higher than the conviction rate for real rapes! I am just going to stop there. Seriously. What I have said isn't even feminism, it's just reality. Go on the WHO website and read the truth. Why did I click this damn thread.

I generally understand the emotional and physical pains of being female but i honestly believe i wouldnt have fucked up my life and been as hurtful towards people as much if i were a girl. Im completely fucked emotionally and sexually and i firmly believe if i was female a lot of my pain wouldnt have come to be. Wishing to be female is an incredibly strong desire for me and i have so much respect for trans people who turn their desires to reality

So yeah, I agree and I wouldn't want to change gender even if I could. Women in our society have, on average, less power.

I'm not interested in a male vs female debate. I think the sexes are beautifully complementary. I think that should be embraced rather than used to drive a wedge as it often is nowadays. This is obviously from the perspective of a western society where women can and are allowed to do whatever it is they want; this is certainly not always the case around the world.

In regards to your statement "Women have less power" - this is totally ambiguous and doesn't really mean anything. Sure, women are less frequently CEOs of major corporations and powerful politicians, but what does that mean? Many studies on this subject will often draw completely unsupported conclusions that women are being discriminated against. Same with virtually every wage study - when all easy factors are actually accounted for and comparing apples to apples, the wage gap is only a few percent. They often imply or flat out state that women are being forced into doing some lesser work that they don't want to do. But rarely are garbage men, oil drillers, and other dirty jobs ever discussed in the same light. There's no concern why women aren't "equally" represented here. It's silly. It's cherry picking. It's divisive for division's sake.

As you note, women virtually always have the final say in who gets to have sex or be in a relationship. This means a lot more to 100% of humanity than who runs a corporation or wields political power or who makes more money on average.

We've come a very long way. No, nothing's perfect, and women will experience hardship in certain ways that men will not. Men will also experience hardship in ways that women will not. "Equal outcome" is not a worthy goal, equal opportunity is. Some unequal outcomes are the result of discrimination, some are not. In many cases, the discrimination is benign. That doesn't mean it's okay, but it doesn't mean that one sex is out to get the other either. If you go down this road, eventually you get to the point where you have to legislate parenting children as non-binary, and I personally think that is an atrocious outcome both because the government should stay the fuck out of it and because of what I said before of the sexes being complementary.

Just my too many cents.

seatbelts not be designed for you because the male body is seen as the default.

Although you didn't specifically mention it, I assume you are referring to the greater number of injuries women receive in car crashes vs. men. If I am wrong and you are just referring to having breasts making seatbelts more uncomfortable, you can probably skip my post and wait for the day when seatbelt designers somehow find a way to fix this without lowering efficacy. Meanwhile, men around the world will always and forever have to deal with balls being stuck in uncomfortable positions. But I seem to remember a few news articles with titles like "The dangers of being a woman in a world designed for men" that mentioned the injury factor and erroneously attribute it to seatbelts and crash test dummies designed for men.

For example: https://www.citylab.com/transportat...nt-injury-safety-women-dummy-seatbelt/594049/
Crash-test dummies are typically models of an average man. Women are 73 percent more likely to be injured in a car accident. These things are probably connected.

The article says "these things are probably connected" in big bold letters, but it also says "After nearly a decade of research highlighting this safety disparity, no one has yet found the definitive answer as to why."

Now if you follow the second link to the newest study: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/15389588.2019.1630825?needAccess=true
The greatest sex-related effect on injury risk occurred in the lower extremities (Table 1). Females exhibited a greater risk of lower extremity injury, even after adjusting for age, height, BMI, and delta-V. This suggests that sex itself has an effect on injury tolerance, affecting the tolerance in a manner distinct from differences in anthropometry or collision exposure. Biomechanical factors that may contribute to differences in injury tolerance may include bone mineral density (with earlier onset of osteoporosis in women), differences in local bone and ligament geometry, and differences in bone and ligament material properties.

(Anthropometry = human measurements, I had to look it up.) Basically, what they said was being biologically female is most likely to blame, nothing more, nothing less. Now, they may be wrong, but the articles that purport to summarize this study are much wronger.

This article is simply and subtly lying to its reader. I see this type of thing repeated a lot as fact, so sorry if I draw your ire but please consider that you are being biased. I did only pick one small line, but I could pick others and point out how the story is not as simple as you are telling it.

You seem to have missed that I was specifically referring to the gynocentric West and not third world shit holes. I would gladly swap genders with you if I could.

1. I've done a lot of research for myself and the general consensus seems to be that not even women like the way male genitalia look like. "Glorified sausages". While men tend to like the way vulvas look like. At least women have any reproductive rights at all. Men have none and no options to opt out of parenthood either. We have to live with whatever decision the woman makes.

2. Especially when it comes to domestic violence men aren't taken seriously. Do you know of the Duluth model? Because of it men are assumed to be the perpetrators of domestic violence by default. Yet there are studies which suggest that men are 40% of domestic violence victims by the opposite sex (even in the UK!) and there are barely any domestic violence shelters for men in the West. I hope your eyes have been opened now. The police will not even take a man seriously if he calls them and they might even jail the victim instead, because the word of the woman is held in higher regard than the word of the man.

Even theguardian reported this, despite often being feminist leaning.

Women also serve shorter prison times for the same crimes. Bill Cosby was accused of rape and had his life ruined. Cardi B admitted to drugging and robbing men and even hiring someone to rape a man in the ass. Yet nothing. Her reputation remains unscathed. Men also aren't taken seriously when it comes to rape. Men raped by women are supposed to feel glad and all headlines involving female rapists don't use the word "rape". So yes women are generally never seen as guilty by the court of public opinion and might even be seen as the victims instead. Whenever a woman does something horrible to a man, people immediately ask "What has he done to her?". It's assumed by default that a woman wouldn't do something truly evil, unless the victim has done something evil himself to her.

3. Forced circumcision is a barbaric practice no matter to which gender it's inflicted upon. However you can't deny that in general FGM is far less common and forbidden in far more countries. There might only be a handful of countries where male genital mutilation is forbidden. It's also only ever viewed as mutilation by the public when it comes to girls and not boys. In the West boys have no bodily autonomy, while girls bodily autonomy is sacred and protected.

4. The thing is boys are indoctrinated to never show their emotions and especially not weakness, because men are supposed to be strong. It's arguably far more acceptable for girls to express their emotions and cry in our society. She might even get emotional support. A man however will only be looked down upon and be made fun of. Even crying is viewed as something inherently girly and I can't count the amount of times my father told me to stop "crying like a girl".

5. Women's health issues definitely receive higher funding than men's health issues. For example funding for breast cancer is significantly higher than funding for prostate cancer and this is a fact. Don't you think this is pretty unfair especially considering that women already live 7 years longer on average?

6. It's indeed socially unacceptable for a man to hit a woman, but the reverse isn't true. A man that hits women is viewed like the scum of the Earth and we're being told to never hit a woman ever since we're little boys. Yet nobody bats an eye when a woman hits a man and the man might not even be believed like I mentioned earlier.

7. Bonus argument. Women receive special programs and gender quotas which favor them over men simply for being women, despite the gender pay gap long having been debunked. That's not what you call gender equality aka equal opportunity. That's what you call gender equity aka equal outcome.
