If this is on the wrong board, sorry.

If you could choose which gender you could be, which would you choose and why?

I would be female because I think they have it easy compared to men. Thats just my opinion though

Jak · 15-08-2002 09:45AM

What are the options again?

Ruaidhri · 15-08-2002 10:08AM

that IS a difficult question. First off you'd need to experiance a life time of both to make an informed decision.
you also have to factor social and political issues into account. and even then there is a quality of life question also.
so personally i think it's a bulls**t question.(i'm gonna say be a man anyway cause that's all i know)

The Sweeper · 15-08-2002 10:23AM

I'd stick with what I am.

Tell you this - Being female, I get to do the 'lad' thing and it normally gets a laugh. So I get the best of both worlds, I can be a girlie girl if I want and paint my nails and ensure my shoes and my handbag match, or I can be a laddish girl if I want and scratch myself in public and belch loudly when I drink pints of beer and use the word 'cúnt' in common conversation as though it's going out of fashion, either way people accept me.

It's an entirely different story though if a heterosexual bloke decides he wants to behave in an effeminate fashion...

it works for mills

Id probably stick with being a bloke. However, the option of being able to pull on a miniskirt, throw on a bit fo warpaint and instantly looking more attractive to the opposite sex is not to be sniffed at. Women have it easy....well, apart from that childbirth thing that they moan about.

Ohhh be nice!!

I mean .. these new pumps are just adorable aren't they?

Having never experienced being female I can't say which gender I'd prefer. I enjoy being male though.

IMO the only people who can give a true answer to this question are transexuals and they've spent thousands of quids to change gender.

In conclusion, you are the gender you are in your head. And if a person's not happy with that then maybe they're not the gender they think they are.

I thought they were deadly on you Lemming 'till I noticed you hadn't shaved your legs!

koneko · 15-08-2002 10:57AM

Agree 100% with MAJD.

I can be girly girl and do my hair all curly and wear a dress and shock everyone (in a good way). Or I can go play games on a LAN and mod my PC/case and shock everyone (again, in a good way).

Plus, we have boobies.

The Sweeper · 15-08-2002 11:05AM

Ah yes...

/me stares at the distant horizon...

...boobies...

amp · 15-08-2002 11:50AM

/me stares at Majd's and Konekos boobies.

Hmmm powerful arguments.

in which direction of the horizon are these boobies located precisely?

im happy as a man, its very hard to answer the question since you dont know what youre getting into. on the other hand, experiencing multiple orgasms has its advantage.

Shiminay · 15-08-2002 12:36PM

mmmmmmm

Boobies......

Anyway, I like being a guy - no point in complaining!

Kolodny · 15-08-2002 12:50PM

Much happier now than before the op.

But seriously, it's hard to say if you've only experienced being of one gender. Wouldn't want to swap though, really.

And as for boobies.....

phaxx · 15-08-2002 01:00PM

I'm happy the way I am, but given the chance to, er, magically turn female for a week or three I'd jump at it.

meglome · 15-08-2002 01:17PM

don't go upsetting the nerds by mentioning women boobies, the only ones they normally see is their own.

Jim · 15-08-2002 01:20PM

i love the way threads eventually degrade into conversations about boobies......

Ah, sure they have it easy now with epidural (spelling?) injections and so on.
Although, before the widespread use of aforementioned, I have heard the experience was comparable to "shitting a pineapple".

Girls have cooties.

Yeah, because you know one injection makes such an enormous difference to something the size of a football passing through a space that just... well... isn't that size.

If I ever have kids, it'll be as nature intended.

bloke bloke bloke bloke

Caesar_Bojangle · 15-08-2002 08:16PM

I like chocolate.

Man, cos i couldnt be arsed to shave under my arms, chest, legs and bush every or everyother week whereas being male i dont have all that maintenance. I can look like Harry Henderson an no one says poop.

And i can piss standing up, dont have to go through pain of labour Oooooooouuuuccccccccccccchhhhhhhhh, so i'll remain an animal that produces gametes (spermatozoa) that can fertilize female gametes (ova) or in other words a person who belongs to the sex that cannot have babies.

Winters · 15-08-2002 08:56PM

seeing as though i have always been the same sex i cannot comment on what it would be like to be the other sex.

McGinty · 15-08-2002 08:56PM

Whilst I say yes to being a woman, it p**sses me off to hear some comments about it being easier to be a woman. Why is that so?

I think each sex has its good points and bad points. Each has there own set of problems. I don't believe it is easier to be a woman nor easier to be a man. And by the daft comments re: childbirth, it is obvious to me none of you have experienced it. Again with child birth some woman have it easy, some don't and as for having an epidural, one millimetre out of position and you are paralysed for life.

On a lighter note though, it is great fun being a woman, so I will stick with what I know, the ability to be girlie, girlie or do ladish things with the ability to be mutli orgasmic, excelleeeeeeent.

haaaaa, i can do that.:p

[dazy dreams]If i could just be a girl for a week, i think i would stay in bed all week, be completely stoned and never stop playing with myself..but only for a week.[/dazy dreams]

Winters · 15-08-2002 09:29PM

Humm.... i wonder what it would be like if we had 3 lives....one as man, one as woman then asked to choose what we would like to be for out last life...

/me is board and thinking ****e
