Ever Wished You Were a Member of the Opposite Sex?

I've found myself wishing I were a boy a lot, and I especially wished this when I was younger (K-5, 1st grade).

I've never wished that I was different. I just can't see myself as anybody (or anything) else.

I think I'd want to try out being a guy for one day or so... Don't get me wrong, I love being myself and being female, but it would be an interesting experience to say the least.

Well, while I don't necessarily wish I were a girl, I have wondered many times what it would be like.

I think it is perfectly normal to have that kind of feeling.

Transgender/ pre hormones and op transsexual.

Yeah, every once in a while I wish I were a girl... =P

I have always been content with being a male. I can see however why some girls would want to be guys. Guys have the coolest TV programs, toys, etc.

you didn't misspell "member"... but you did misspell the word "misspell"

I put "hasn't everyone" because I think everyone wishes, in varying levels of seriousness, that they were the opposite sex at different times. Mine have always been for the reasons:

1. I wonder what it would be like to have those parts?
2. Auurrgggh... cramps suck!

... not because I seriously want it. I am definitely a "try it for a day and skip that time of the month" type of trans-wisher. My personal identity is entirely female.

On the other hand, I do know two genuine transsexuals, and a couple people who are questioning or feel androgynous.

haha, come on man you know what I'm talkin about! What's cooler, a fully posable power ranger action figure with blaster cannons or a barbie doll with an outfit and hairbrush?

Exactly. I used to try to convince my brother to trade me his power rangers for my barbie dolls all the time.

Not quite the toys that were being referred to, I suspect... xD

I'm a guy who wihes he were female. Still, that is from a purely biological standpoint, and the three main reasons I would want to be female (Sex, pregnancy, and periods.) tend to be the least acheievable. So I guess I have to wait until brain/personality transplants or possible. *Shrugs*

And yeah, I know, two of those reasons are two of the main reasons women wish they weren't women. Well, I want to know what the fuss is all about, for one. And I'd prefer to be the female because as things go guys don't have much to worry about; so I'd rather be handling the burden than my partner. *Shrugs*

What a great example of an ignorant male.

Heck yeah I'd like to be a guy! For about a week. Long enough to:

get in a real knock down drag out fight
pee standing up
Kiss a girl
Have sex with a girl
see what goes on inside a locker room
understand American football and what all the fuss is about

Hmm... most if not all of those things are possible for girls.

I've wondered what it would be like to be a girl. But then I remember the girls I know, and how they are that time of the month. Plus the whole giving birth thing sounds sorta unpleasant. :eek: But for a day maybe. :)

you miss the point entirely. Sure I could do all of those things. But I mean from a MALE point of view. I guess I should have said "to see what having a penis is like". If a woman has sex with a woman, thats a totally different feeling both physically and emotionally. I am saying I'd like to see what its like from a man's point of view.

For a day or so perhaps. Not any longer. I'm fairly emotional, sensitive, passionate etc and that's a lot more accepted in girls.

I generally prefer guys and get on better with guys but I don't think I'd like to be one myself. I have quite a nice mix of 'feminine' and 'masculine' traits and have male and female friends which are each (based on generalisations) better for different things.

The same for me, but in reverse. I'm a guy, and quite happy being male, but it would definitely be interesting to experience being female for a short while (be it a day or, say, a month).

like i said in another tread (some week or two ago) im transsexual.
ive whished i was born female a long time now. despite the downfalls (periods mainly).

theres nothing that prevents a girl from playing actionman or something like that.

it must be good being female and actually find something pretty in the clothes shop.

Pfff, I know what you're talking about! Yeah, I agree completely. But, instead of Power Rangers, why not... Star Wars toys? They kick a hell of a lot more ass.

I'm a man and I sometimes wished I was a women.
Not any one women, but a very special one.
(Especially at that incident when she said she wished she was me. :confused: )

see what goes on inside a locker room
I think I've figured out another way to figure out what goes on in there.
Apparently, what goes on is orgies.

Yep, gay porn shows the truth.

:D
