Have You Ever Wanted to Be the Opposite Sex?

Okay, so I'm not sure if there is already a thread about this. If there is, I'm sorry. And if there isn't, I am going to start one.

I, personally, have had several experiences when I feel like I would rather be a boy. I would probably be one of the weirdest guys you would ever meet. I already have a lot of guy-friends who are all video game freaks, and I doubt I would be any different. I stay at the school library and play video games for hours.

And I play even more while I'm at home. Not many people how much of a geek I am. Beside my close friends.

I have had moment when I've thought I'm more gay than straight, and I want to be able to take care of a girl. I just wish that I could be strong enough. And those are the moments that I wish I could be a guy.

Have any of you guys/girls ever felt that way before?

Of course I have! Sometimes just out of curiousity, sometimes just to treat somebody the way they deserve to be treated, etc.

Nah, not really, but I like _acting_ more like the opposite gender.

I can't say this is something I've ever experienced, though I do get along a lot better with guys and don't have too many girl-oriented hobbies, so to speak. I definitely feel like I'm meant to be a girl, despite how much I may hate putting up with birth control pills and all the issues associated or putting up with most of the female race, for that matter. haha.

I've always thought it'd be interesting to switch genders for like, a day, just to see what things are like on the other side. Especially when it comes to sex. I want to know what it feels like for guys. haha.

Oh, I feel like this all the time. And for some reason, I always felt that way the most severe whenever my old friend went through a breakup - like, I wanted to be a guy, and to treat her right and love her... and, well, obviously I'm bisexual so I did have a thing for her. I really wish I was a guy, but I was born female so... I'll stay that way. Makes things immensely easier. ^^

Sometimes, when it's that time of the month and... when I think about child birth.

Yes. I'm content with my body and I'm cis, but I would love to be a boy sometimes. A femme boy.

I feel the exact same way! It's gotten a little better in the past couple of years, but I know exactly what that feels like.

Sometimes I feel it's easier to be a male, especially in my line of work, and I've often imagined what it would be like to...well, be a male.

I always want to be male when I can't find a public bathroom .-.

Seconded.

Also when I get my period.

For public bathrooms and period, yes. A lot.

Otherwise... Sometimes. I think it would be cool to try. I don't know if I would want the permanent change, though ^^;
I do want to be a boy though, to give all the perfect gifts and do all the right things - just because I know what I would want XP

As far as I'm concerned, I'm a guy. I hang out with guys, call myself by a guy's name and I get really mad when someone tells me I'm a girl.
I've always wanted to be a boy, ever since I was a kid and people expected me to play with stupid dolls.

Now I don't think I'll ever consider something as extreme as a sex change. I like guys and since the majority of them are straight, I guess it might be useful to have a vagina at some point x)

I've considered it. Never enough to get a sex change... but I've wondered. It's something that intrigues me, and a lot of days, I wish I were born a boy.
That said, I like men. So it's confusing. Maybe I'm secretly a gay man.

only definitely not.

There's a huge, huge difference between wanting to be the "opposite gender" and knowing you were assigned the wrong gender at birth. Despite the fact that all of my legal documents have always been marked with an 'F', I've never been a girl. And despite my never having been a girl, I go through a lot of the things girls go through.

Being a guy doesn't automatically mean that:
1) You don't have a period.
2) The topic of public restrooms doesn't make you uncomfortable.
3) You can't get pregnant.
4) You're strong.
5) You want and can take care of a girl.
6) You don't have to deal with birth control pills.
7) You didn't like playing with dolls when you were younger.
8) You do "guy things."

Just sayin'.

Yeah, I know. That's not what I'm saying. I'm just asking if anybody has had those moments when they would rather be a guy, or when a guy would rather be a girl. It was in general.

I've had moments when I've thought about a sex change and what it would mean. It's not like I would be ready for it right now. I'm just thinking about it.

It's not a transgendered thread though.
Because a transgendered boy wouldn't want to be a boy. He is one.

^^^ I was just about to point that out, but I guess you got to it before me pierrot the clown.
What I really think this thread is about, is if you've wanted to be the opposite sex. Sex and gender are two different things. Gender is what you identify as yourself, basically what's in your head, while sex is what's between your legs, to put things simple.

That was mostly directed at everyone else. It's perfectly alright to question your gender, it doesn't even have to mean anything. I just wanted to clarify that being a guy wouldn't automatically rid one of all of those uncomfortable situations that many link with being a girl.

If you ever want to discuss the issue, you can PM me.

dru is on fire.:

I know, but someone saying they "want to be a boy so they don't have a period" very explicitly implies that no boys have periods.

I don't think it does.
I think it says "I'd like to have a penis so I don't bleed out my vagina".
I know that not all men have penises, but I also don't feel the need to clarify every single statement I make when people know what I mean.
