Said by millions of trans women in denial before you…

That’s not to say that you are trans. I can’t tell you that. But what I will say is that for most people, their gender isn’t something they “tolerate”

May as well have a go at the opposite.

If that ever happens, though, I predict a lot of dudes are getting kicked in the nuts. Just saying. So you’d better watch out.

Travel to some place like Ethiopia and see how the women live. In some countries, women are treated equally to the men, but that isn’t true in other countries. Someone once told me that a young man, of pale complexion, could take a Time Machine to any country, step outside of it, and most likely never be jailed, or shot, upon being seen. That isn’t the truth for everyone. I would hate to be a woman in Egypt, even today. If a man disagrees with a woman, he is allowed to legally slap her across the face. In Saudi Arabia, women are forced into female circumcision. If you think being female would bring you more job opportunities, you might be surprised. I have a graduate degree, and years of experience in my field. It is very difficult to remain at any particular job site. I overheard a coworker discussing what I could “possibly be mixed with”, before I was let go. At every job site, people are always trying to determine who my husband is, or if my dad is anyone important. If you want to feel like a woman, start asking everyone to judge you based on your spouse, and who your dad is, before they care about your qualifications and experience. I mean, there are always the women that seem to have a job based on who they know, but when you look into those situations, it isn’t always something you’d envy. I doubt you’d want to have an advantage in the workforce because you were the life of the party in your social circle, as a female. I haven’t had that advantage. Here I sit without a full time job, at the moment.

I can think of many many exceptions to that Time Machine idea. It, itself is an example of Western ignorance about non-Western history.

But I agree with your wider point.

I'd like to try something new.
I’m already OP being a white male and this game is still hard as fuck. No way I’m doing a challenge run. I’d just redistribute my stats to min max my dude.

As a man in a country where it’s illegal to be transgender (including all other gender identities outside the gender binary; male and female), I’d honestly rather not be reborn at all, especially if I have to stay in the country I’m currently I’m.

And yes, I’ve been misgendered as a girl multiple times, both online and in real life. It pisses me out.

I find it almost impossible to imagine myself as a man, but no periods + male privilege sounds nice.

100% this.

I consider myself a woman, but I’m pretty apathetic about gender all told. I think I’d adjust to being male pretty well? It’d be weird and uncomfortable for a while and I’m sure I’d find things I’d miss about being a woman.

But between the male privilege and biological advantages (no periods, easier strength, etc), it sounds like a deal to me.

I’m an uber driver and had an ftm passenger in the car the other day. We got to talking about architecture and he was an absolute wealth of knowledge about the history of cities on the east coast.

Made me realize that I don’t see too many woman geeks. Like geeking out isn’t part of our society’s woman role.

I wondered if he transitioned so he could be a geek without social rejection.
