If you had a choice of being born a male or a female, would you have choice the opposit sex?

This is not intended at all to state one sex is better than others. If you are about to make that statement, don't. I'm merely asking this question out of curiosity. Also, I'd like to hear what gay people from both sex thinks about this question.

Thank you.

    No... I used to think so as society loves boy children, fact...

    However when as I got older I realised I'm glad I'm female, so much so that I have to stop myself from being patronisingly sympathetic to men.... it's terrible & very hypocritical of me really..... but despite the bum deal we occsaionally get in society (depending where you live) I'd never swap... I'm a woman & it's great....

    I have never thought about it but I would stick with being a female. God knew what he was doing when he made me a female. I would not like shaving every day, I would not like the responsibility you guys have to support your family, fix things around the house, take care of the yard (however some wives do this), because I am not use to doing all these things.

    One thing I do like about men is when you go to the store to buy a pair of pants you like in your size and they will fit every time. Same goes for a shirt. You go in the store and ask for a blue 17 regular shirt 34 inch sleeve and you don't even have to try it on because you know it will fit. Not so with women's clothes. They just don't make them the same size therefore we have to try them on. I don't understand why they can't make women's clothes the same size. If we go into a store and say I want a size 12 it will always be the same size. But that will never happen.

    We have all fantasized about that possibility, usually when we where much younger and getting lucky was, so to speak very difficult and as such a fantasy of this type had its obvious advantages. When we grow older and subsequently are able to participate in a real emotional union

    with a partner of choice then we are able to appreciate the advantages of being who we are. I believe that this is also true in any gay relationship in which two people find satisfaction in one another and in this way I believe we are all humans with human feelings.

    Both have positives and negatives I'm sure. As a young kid, for the first number of years in my life the only kids to play with here were two neighbor boys. And probably the worse brats to have to grow up with. I hated being the one that had to be "different." And naturally I was told by them that, for some damn reason, I "can't because [I'm] a girl." Oh, like they have special powers or something. Wtf. At that age I hated being a girl. WISHED I didn't have to be different.

    Although as I got older I became fine with it. I suppose us all ending up with sisters eventually helped even things out a little years later. Womanhood does have it's plus sides... Good lookin' guys for example. lol

    Though a lady sometimes wonders....what's it like to have a...never mind. ; ) Good enough that I get to enjoy it too without having to deal with it 24/7.

    It goes much deeper then how we were born, God created male and Female, we knew our rolls as Man and Woman in the pre-portal world. Sons and Daughters of a loving Father in heaven. He gave us clear direction to how to live that would bring us the greatest happiness. We will be accaountable to the choices we make here on earth. God has given us agency, but to every choice there will be consiquences in the end, we just may not see them till after we are dead.....

    Love to be yourself; whether male or female.

    For me what sex my body has is a material issue.

    More important than material values are spiritual values.

    Whether I am male or female I have only one choice to make:

    Will I adopt selfish material values; or will I adopt selfless spiritual values.

    The issue is whether you're mind is focused on pious values or not.

    The 40 days and 40 nights of Jesus' being tempted in the wilderness (Mt 4:1-11; Mk 1:12-13; Lk 4:1-13).

    The Temptation of Jesus

    1Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. 2After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.

    3The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread." (a reference to Moses' miracle during the Jewish exodus)

    4Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'[a]"

    5Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6"If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down. For it is written:

    " 'He will command his angels concerning you,

    and they will lift you up in their hands,

    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'[b]"

    7Jesus answered him, "It is also written: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'[c]"

    8Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9"All this I will give you," he said, "if you will bow down and worship me."

    10Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'[d]"

    No I love being a female too much to want to be a male.

  • 1 decade ago

    Im happy being a girl, although sometimes I do think that life would be a lot easier being a boy.
