If you could chose sex from birth would you live as a man?

I don't think I'd choose to be a man, I like being a woman. I expect though if I was born a man I'd like that too.

Fuck no. I like who I am. Part of that is being a woman.

No way. Despite all the shit we have to deal with, women are by far the superior sex in so many ways.

Just saying I’m quite happy being a woman and wouldn’t be a man.

Maybe I am gender male but I’m a happy female

Bloody hell Imoen could you fit any more gender stereotypes in there?

No.

I’m furious about male privilege and the fact I’d earn more if I had a penis but would I ever wish not to have grown my children in my body - no.

I might buck the trend here.

I honestly have never thought of being a bloke however nor have I ever come across anything that has held me back the way some of you claim.

I earn more than most men in my field. My career is at least as good if not better than most men.

However, I’ve always liked most sport, computer games and cars. Genuinely from toddler age in the case of sport and cars. Much to my mothers disgust. I’ve also never wanted children and if I’m being honest, mothers at work annoy me as they always want preference on holidays, flexible hours and expect the rest of us to pick up the slack. Maybe that’s why I do t get it.

I’ve never had a problem putting my views across or standing up for myself.

I’m 5’3” and chubby but not particularly Amazonian.

I don’t recognise the world a lot of you complain about so I’d be happy being female. If they could kill my periods.

and I would without much effort be attractive to the opposite sex.

What?

No thank you, I love being a woman.

I am 59 and being a man now would mean that chin hair was normal ,my weight now would be about right if I were a man and I would without much effort be attractive to the opposite sex.
Also my sloppy housework would magically seem fantastic for a man.
Wouldn't like to have been born one though.

You could flip the question for me but it’s still impossible to answer. How would I know what it’s like to be a woman or vice versa? I could try to embark on a theoretical debate in my head about one sex or another but the truth is I can’t because I’m a man. I can read and study and pretend to know what it’s like to be a woman but how would I know what is best without being one?

I have had nothing bad happen to me as a result of being female
I have had the same opportunities, expectations, wages as male counterparts
I have never been looked down on or talked down to.

Some people just need to change company I think.

I can't really imagine being anyone other than me tbh. I like being me.

If you like being you, then you probably have a good deal. Countless people hate themselves, myself included.

Why from birth? Why not from conception? For many girls it is their sex at conception that matters not birth as they don’t get that far.

Statistically, girls get further. Sex-selective abortions happen, but after childhood women outnumber men at every age, despite more boys being born.

I've had a few bad things happen to me because I am a woman, but I've never wanted to be a man. I have always wished for a better deal for women though.

Install updates. I apologise if this was your experience but I was completely happy to wave goodbye to my reproductive abilities (even though so called helpful leaflets insisted I was going to feel less feminine). I still love being a girl and don't feel any less so.

No. Being a man means being ugly. Being a woman would be nice so I could be attractive.

No. Love being a girl.

Nope quite happy being a girl / woman

No. I'm happy being me

It's interesting. I guess one main reason patriarchy exists is because men want to control the power of womens reproductive abilities. So it maybe isn't surprising why so many of us feel we don't want to let go of that capacity. My body making a child and all that means is not something I'd want to easily give up despite all the disadvantages. Though in most times and places I would think being male would still outweigh that.

No I couldn't imagine not being me. Although I would like to live in an equal Society.

Oh no I like me and all my stuff.

I like being a mum mostly. I like women I think women are complex and I dunno I guess intriguing because we juggle so much in our lives

I like being a woman
