Would you "come back' as a man?

Assuming the option was available?

I'd have a house proud partner (the kind who insists on doing everything herself) then I'd open my wardrobe and gaze at all my neatly lined up shirts, overjoyed that I had nothing whatsoever to do with keeping then that way. smile

I definitely wouldn't be your partner then!

I am also happy being a woman. Froglady , your post has caught my attention and I hope you are ok. You are clearly very sure that feel you should be male. I wonder how much that is due to the fact that you knew how much your Mum wanted a boy?
Whatever , I hope you are living a fulfilling life and are able to come to an acceptance of your situation.

That's the question isn't it? Would I have felt that way had I not known my mum wanted a boy? I'm 69 now so I have to accept my situation but am so pleased that people do have a choice these days, as nature can make mistakes and people are born into the wrong bodies.
Thank you for your kind thoughts.

If I came back as a woman I’d want a different body without the problems. Otherwise I’d happily come back as a man. Or a cat!

Absolutely not!?

MissAdventure Tue 03-May-22 09:32:05

I've had 2 girl cats and one was very nervy, and a bit unreliable about the toilet arrangements, and the other liked to be left alone.
My boy cats were more easy going and friendly.

I went through a little spate of feeling quite feminine, but I don't give it a thought these days.
I'm just a person at this moment in time.

I’ve had cats all my life misadventure and the females have always been bolder and more independent than the males. Maybe it’s the way I pick the kittens.

Definitely not! I love being a woman. And I’m no domestic goddess - I don’t iron, don’t bake cakes or biscuits but love putting on eyeliner, mascara and lipstick and choosing colours for nail polish. When I think of all the work Himself has done over the years - no thank you!

Definitely a she Bluesky.

MissAdventure Tue 03-May-22 09:25:05

I'd be a tom cat.
I find queens to be a bit neurotic.

No, I’d come back as a cat.

Oh yes. A female cat. A queen

I can’t imagine being a man at all.

No, I’d come back as a cat.

Love that Blossoming but She or Tom? wink

grandMattie Tue 03-May-22 09:15:16

A woman, but only if I can live in the First World; otherwise a man!

grannyrebel7 Tue 03-May-22 09:14:22

No I don't think so, but I would've liked not having periods, going through labour and the menopause! Having to shave is no comparison ?

AGAA4 Tue 03-May-22 09:09:03

I can't imagine being a man but life would have been easier when I was young and had to put up with men behaving badly.

Oh I'd have a marvellous beard!
I would love that!

Joseanne Tue 03-May-22 09:00:17

No, having to shave every day!

MissAdventure Tue 03-May-22 08:53:40

There's a cue for a song... smile

JenniferEccles Tue 03-May-22 08:52:13

‘I enjoy being a girl’ ? ?

MissAdventure Tue 03-May-22 08:50:24

Massively, I'd say.

BlueSky Tue 03-May-22 08:49:50

Whatever. Would life have been any different?
