likewise, though I think life is harder as a girl than a guy, I would also still prefer to have been born a female.
I was surprised by how many guys wish they were the opposite sex (in this poll)-same for women. Seems a lot of us are not satisfied with our birth gender.
You could always transition and live life as a women, but that is difficult to do and carries more risks than rewards.
However there are many mtf transsexuals who pass so well, people have no clue they used to be men.
I've seen some on youtube, a few of them are actually quite hot.
I wanted to seriously transition at one point, but was not willing to leave my friends/family/city in order to make that change.
I also don't want them to know so I'm unfortunately stuck with living as a man unless I can find a good solution.
"and carries more risks than rewards" <- Not necessarily. Risk and reward in this situation would be very personal to the individual making the choice, so... perhaps to YOU that's the case, but maybe not everyone.
"unless I can find a good solution" I think you'd be surprised at how accepting those who love us can be. Not everyone is, but... sometimes it's a refreshing eye-opener. Also, my favorite motto -
Fortune favors the bold!
More risks because many transsexuals don't really pass well-let's be honest...they get 'clocked', that is people can tell they are a man dressed as a woman. Some hatemongers have killed transsexuals because they find them so repulsive.
Now if the person can completely pass-and many of them do, then they're fine so long as they don't get outed.
"I think you'd be surprised at how accepting those who love us can be."
that's a very kind thought but I think people would get very weirded out. I could never come out as a girl to my friends-though family might be a little more accepting.
So there's too much to sacrifice to live in the body that you think you were meant to be in.
For some people the desire to transition is extremely intense that they don't care about the consequences. I think everyone has to do whatever they are comfortable with.
Do you like the sex you were born with?
