Have You Ever Wanted to Be the Opposite Sex?

Leona-Cat:

I think I phrase it wrongly or something because I did not meant for it to be sexist. Well, I don't complain either and I don't insult other girls. What I meant was majority or maybe even less than majority of guys had to put up with this. So any guy might be the unlucky one.

Why do I have a feeling of making this even worse after explanation?
Anyway, I hope you'll understand that I did not mean for it to be sexist.

I can understand that your intention was not to be sexist but I just want to say a couple of things. Firstly, men are not flawless and their girlfriends (assuming they're straight for the thread) have to "put up" with minor annoyances such as excessive belching, flatulence, spitting, not listening (all generalisations, from askmen.com). Of course, not all men are like this and some may have none of these traits, whilst others only a couple, and I assume only a minority would have them all. Each partner has to put up with things they dislike about their partner in order to make the relationship work - whether they dislike something stereotypically related to their gender or something completely irrelevant to it. Most people don't have a perfect partner, realising that small bad things about them shouldn't matter much if they mostly like them. Finally, men don't have to "put up" with anything - they choose to be with their girlfriends, and are not obligated to stay with them or be responsible for them. Same goes for women. Like I said, if they want to make the relationship work, they won't let the things they dislike about their partner override the love they have for them.

Personally, I don't think I've seriously wanted to be male before. When I was younger I used to fight and play 'rough' games, but this was fairly normal where I grew up and not something reserved for the boys. I also used to speak like a male, but this was probably down to lack of intelligence rather than rebellion. I'm definitely more 'feminine' now, but I don't feel that it matters to me as much as it seems to everyone else. I'd rather be neither a man nor a woman, but I don't think that'll work so I'm not too bothered about being a woman. The only thing that I particularly dislike about being a woman is having to deal with sexism. It'd be interesting if I could see what I would've been like if I was a man.

Yes, this happens to me every once in a while.
Usually, when I'm feeling down about myself & having self-esteem issues.
Then I start to think, "I really wish I was a guy right now. Guy's seem to have a lot better luck than I do." I know that's not true, & that both men and women have equal difficulties, but that's just what my mind begins to say.
Sometimes I also believe I should have been a dude because I act like a guy, at least more than I act like a girl. Nothing too drastic, but just little quirks or tendencies I notice from time to time.
Another reason I would like to be male is so that I could be gay.
I'll think to myself, "I bet I'd be so much better if I were a gay guy."
Does that make sense?

I dunno. That's just my personal thoughts.

ignore.

I'd like to be a guy at festivals 'cause it's so much easier for them to pee.

Yeah. To be honest, I hate getting my period.

I would temporarily switch genders, just to see what it's like to pee... though if I had boobs I'd probably spend the whole time feeling myself.

Yeah, there are times when I wish I was I guy so I would fit in better. I am a 5'2" girl who is a first chair trumpet player in a high school band, works building things for stage crew instead of painting, and plays video games. Yeah I would still be a weirdo, but maybe I wouldn't be discriminated against as badly in my band and as a gamer.
Maybe then I wouldn't be the butt of all the jokes in my band section, they like making sexual and sexist jokes because I am the only girl. It gets really awkward when my second in command is making bad sexual jokes using whatever he can find the the band closet.

@ SitaRose97
You're the most talented girl there (even if you're the only one)

I did wish I was born a boy more than several times. It doesn't mean that I don't really want to be a girl but I've always been curious.. How's it like to have short hair (which is not allowed in my school), to have guy friends (cause I don't) and just how it is to live the life of being a boy.

Yep, just so I wouldn't be looked down upon for wanting to date girls.

I'd love to experience male privilege and all it's perks for a bit.

The only reason I'd want to be a boy is so I can't have periods.

@ panhead4life93
I have, like, one period a year 'cause of the pill. It's awesome.

@ dru vs. yzma 2016
I used to be on the shot to help me regulate my period. I stopped it because it made me gain weight.

@ panhead4life93
I've heard that about the shot before.

Another thing to hate about being a woman is birth control. It's sort of a rock and a hard place and always seems to have horrible side effects and shit.

@ dru vs. yzma 2016
And I still haven't lost it. I was 115 pounds before the shot. Now I'm 200 pounds.
