Can I turn this on its head? I am a bearded man who is not especially macho, but never in a million years would I consider coming back as a woman. The dangly bits, for info, are more comfy if they can swing in baggy boxers rather than being constrained in tight, over warm Y fronts but otherwise, once one has passed through the just as awkward for boys as girls teenage puberty time, hang comfortably out the way, but not having to consider emotions and ignoring, or mostly not even noticing, upsetting things, frees one to concentrate on the important things in life, mostly one’s career,
I have been lucky in my choice of wife and, mostly, my children and GC but my choice of career was many times more significant than anything else in my life and, now I am retired, am ok but a bit lost. I think this might be the biggest actual difference, the investment of everything meaningful into a career rather than any emotional way of being.
