Good heavens disco dancer. Really, you believe white men the most discriminated against. Who makes up most senior managers, MP’s. Head teachers , etc etc. White men.

Yeh for six months, ??

Yes, if it means reincarnation, one lifetime is too short, even a long life.
Put me down as coming back extremely handsome, happy comfortably off family, talented and born in Paris.

Which six months would you chose out of all the years you have lived Audi10?

no because i couldn't be a mum

Definitely not. I love being a woman.

An interesting perspective, thank you Neilspurgeon0.
It’s an interesting question OP and I don’t know my answer, my best friends are male and I’ve always got on better with men than women, maybe because I’m female.

Froglady. A friend of mine had 3 boys, a stillborn daughter, then 2 more boys. I wonder if there's any truth in the 'old wives' tale' that some people can only give birth to one sex of child.
I have mixed feelings about coming back as a man. It would be interesting to find out what it is like. On the whole, however, I prefer being female.

I find the fixation with genitals extremely odd

Yes, men are weirdly obssed with their dangly bits!

snowberryZ Thu 05-May-22 08:10:22

Obsessed

snowberryZ Thu 05-May-22 08:21:57

Oh just realised you meant WE are obsessed with dangly bits.shock

I expect its because 'the dangly bits' are one of the main differences between being a Man or a woman
Men have dangly bits
Women don't.
So can't really have a discussion about whether we'd like to come back as a man without mentioning that intrinsically male part of a man's anatomy.

So, putting our dangly bits to one side (pardon my pun!) we have enough would-be men for a get together.

My Mum-poor, had a tough life-said she’d come back as a brush! Used once a day then left in peace in a cupboard ?

MissAdventure Thu 05-May-22 08:54:10

Ah, I'm not sure whether to hope she got her wish or not!

I wouldn't, but I am a bit of a tomboy still at my age. But that is a practical and useful side of me.

However in my previous (married) life... my brother in law wanted to become a woman - he had felt in the wrong body. Needless to say, it destroyed his marriage, my sister was devastated (tipped her over the iceberg of a lot of other culminated problems and ....sadly, RIP). He is now a woman.

I can't judge. I've not walked in that person's shoes. I've had to forgive in order to make peace with myself and move on from my sister's death.

He is now a woman.
Correction. He's now a Transwoman.

Sorry to hear about your sister. Must have been tough on her.
