I didn't wish I was a woman but I did yoga that taught female principles. I practiced that for about a year when I was around 42. I did dress up like a woman at Halloween.
That question encompasses not only a physical change, but the whole person - their thoughts, desires, and every aspect of who they are - so no, I don't relate to those thoughts.
There have been times when I wondered what sex was like from a woman's point of view. After all, they can have multiple orgasms of such intensity that they can effectively pass out, and also their nipples seem to be much more connected to their pleasure centres in the brain than mens are.
Other than that, no, I haven't really wanted to actually be a woman. They suffer much more than men in society, and also have to suffer the trauma of childbirth.
No. I'm quite happy being male. Having been married a few times in my life and having two daughters, I can appreciate how women's lives are quite different than a man's life is. I don't mean this to be critical or political.
When I was a child I wanted to be a boy. I was kind of a tomboy. My father would take my brother with him and they would have coffee at the little cafe and ride around in a pickup, then go to where my dad had his shop and people would come by and they would all talk and bs like men do. I had to stay home with my mom and help clean house, do laundry and cook.
Heck yeah, I wanted to be a boy for a while in childhood. However, I wouldn't want to change sexes now for the world.
Women have far more complicated biological plumbing than I do, and I’m not sure I’d handle that system very gracefully, you know, monthly periods, cramps, the whole package. And honestly, as somewhat of a germaphobe, the idea of navigating public restrooms as a woman would probably be enough to keep me firmly on Team Male
You have to be s----ing me ! I had wonderful parents and grand-parents but if I had openly mentioned such thoughts, they would have wondered what they'd done wrong. And along with that, the guys in the neighborhood would have beat the crap out of me.
In my neighborhood (comfortable middle class) during the late 30's-early 40's, such thoughts were not openly mentioned if anyone even had them.
Never! I believe women inherently have loads of strength and resilience. Plus, I love a good looking, manly man. I wasn't even the least bit tomboy-ish. Why did you wish you were a woman B? And what made that thought go away?
