Have you ever had the thought that you wish you were the opposite gender?

God doesn't make mistakes, but humans sure do. For example my mother didn't know that her kind impulse to leave the hall light on for her children would result in two of them becoming extremely near sighted. I'm glad she didn't make us feel our way around with our hands rather than buy us glasses believing that "God made us that way," and we should play the hand we're dealt. My brother only has light vision without his glasses.

Nature's gender assignment is delicate, a boy fetus's testicles don't descend until hours before birth. Things like a pregnant woman's exposure to environmental hormones can cause changes in the fetus's growth and sexual characteristics. Some babies might be born with a little bit of mix-up between the brain and the outward appearance. Not God's mistakes. Our mistakes.

Thanks be to God for giving us brilliant doctors who can help us fix our mistakes.
 
yes I have ... I haven't wanted to change sex... but I wished I'd been born a guy...

Start with I was very much a tomboy... and I did all the things the boys did, climbed high walls, trees.. did everything..I hated girly things... I didn't want to push a pram with a doll in it.. I didn't want to wear a nurses outfit... never.....I didn't want anything to do with sleep overs..or any old girlie nonsense

Then punishment came for being a girl when i reached teens..with monthlies and boobies.. and the whole 9...

Then I got into pretty dresses, dancing, boys, ..that was all fine...

... but when i went to work, men were getting paid more than me, so I wanted to be a guy....

Anyway I still would rather be a guy altho I definitely don't want to change sex... I find men's company much easier than womens'.. that's always been the case... 90 % of my close friends are male.. because I find it easier and less problematic to have male friends...


There's only 2 reason that I wouldn't want to be a man is that , they're often victims of crime..attacks, etc.... and secondly I don't fancy women, so if I was a guy I'd have to be gay lol

Giving birth can the worst of times or the best of times. Ask women about the happiest day of their life and many of them ( like me) will say the day my child was born.

I had a tomboy, outdoorsy mother, two brothers and a father and yet I learned on my own to be a girly girl who loved all things pink and frilly. I never for one moment wanted to be like my brothers or wanted do the things they could do -- not even pee a great arc out the window as one of them proudly demonstrated for me.

Not for my eldest son and me. I said: Keep sitting straight up! And he obediently did, so I got a nice ceasarean. I felt guilty when I saw these exhausted other women come in. We were just chilling. Push the red button and a nurse came running to change his diaper. I felt like a queen. 2nd was a normal birth though in a stupid village where they refused to give pain meds. No it has to be natural. So before nr 3 was even conceived I had found another hospital in a big city. They had to wake me up when he wanted to get out lol.

I did dress like a boy at times, but that was more like: leave me alone. Not that I really wanted to be one. I did it in my 20s too if some creep or rapist was around.

There was a serial rapist where I lived. I put on my ex's clothes and steel boots and a helmet and went home on my moped. Meanwhile the male police officers wore blonde wigs and biked around to catch him lol.

A creepy boss at my first job. First day I wore a dress. 5th day I walked around like a weird feminine looking guy with an ugly knot and stupid clothes. Didn't work so I just quit the job.

Years later I had to bike to the train for work and there was a creep bothering me, so the next day I had that same ugly tomboy look. He didn't even recognize me and left me alone.

On Facebook scammers would bother me, so I just changed to male and Jaap the Ape.

Then I befriended some people I didn't know from some church and one guy gave Bible lessons, so I went there. His wife picked me up at the station. She said: Arie (her husband) said to me: Can you pick up Jaap the Ape from the train station? :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Some young guys from that group complained that they were bombarded on Facebook by scarsely clothed women. I said: Just change your profile to female. Then you get men in suits, military men in nice suits, just stolen pics.

yes my brothers did that too ..lol

OTOH...one of my sisters is a girly girl... she was into make-up and hair from when we were very young. When we were teens she and I used to go dancing at the weekends... I;d get from home from work, wash, dress, a little bit make-up, and I was ready to go... not her... 5 hours..I'm not exaggerating, she would spend in front of a mirror primping and preening.... ..

To this day she's the same..... , I have not got the patience for that....

I've never wished to actually be male but there have been times I've not enjoyed being a woman--considered to be weird because I don't enjoy "girlie" things or activities--and times when I've envied the freedom men have. Men can go out in public without worrying about being raped as much as women are, men almost always get paid more (24 %) than women do for the same jobs, if men are subjected to violence they usually have more strength to fight back and can usually defend themselves better.

And the last doesn't sound that important but it's always been so to me: men can usually go places alone and nobody thinks a thing about it; if women go somewhere (especially a restaurant, a bar, a coffee shop) alone, she's thought of as what's wrong with her that she doesn't have friends to go with or she's looking to get picked up by a man, etc.

One thing that life has taught me is that you never know what other people think, or why. Do what is good for you and do not worry about what other people think.

My cousin, a 68 y o guy, always goes hike in the woods and makes nice pics he puts on Facebook. I once made one walk alone as a teen girl. Loads of people had called the police. There's something wrong with her! She looks at trees!

They also have lousy disadvantages. They're always expected to get the money in and work full time. I'd say: Move it. Take care of yourself. Or now with Russia and Ukrain. The Ukrainian women are cosily living in Holland while the men are forced to fight. Yay for equality.
