dolari[Error: unknown template qotd] I was the opposite sex from the moment I was born male. I did something about it...much much happier now.
Its funny, I've read a lot of the responses and most males have said "'shya, right!" while most females have said "No more periods! Pee standing up!"
And yet, here I am. Born with male privilidge, the ability to pee standing up, not having any periods. And I'd give up my left....er, I'd give anything for one day...ONE DAY...of being a fully functioning XX chromosomed woman. Even if that day was on my period and I'd just had three gallons of lemon tea.
Hell, gave up a lot of that just getting as close as I can.

hurricane_amy once told me I wouldn't like being a woman. Steph, Julie, and numerous others, too. For them it usually all boiled down to "its too messy and painful." If I had a nickle for every female reproductive tract I'd been offered, I'd be dead (I got one offered just this morning!)
But for me, it boils down to "it's part of the experience." If that's what it took to be whole...I would glady walk into that furnace.
