Gender

[Worst Username Ever]

Two X and identify as female. I don't care much for what is "feminine" or "masculine", though-I'm not particularily any of them. Though, it would actually be fun being a boy for just a day/week just to see what it's like-but I like and prefer being a girl.

Two X. Identify as female.

By identify as female, I mean I deal with a lot of blood on a monthly basis and it's painful. And I like my pretty hair. And that's it.

It's harder for most of us to even get orgasms.

Sounds like a personal problem to me :I
unless you mean an orgasm during sex before the guy has one as I have absolutely no experience in that area


XX, identify as female. I was a total tomboy as a kid, being the only chick in school who was into Pokemon and video games in general (and DINOSAURS) and I've apparently developed strange tastes for things I'll squeal over and call "cute" (reptilian things, like DINOSAURS). But recently I've found myself embracing things people would probably find more feminine, like pretty clothes and wishing I was small enough to wear them, having kids (like, literally having kids, it's a weird fetish I'll probably only get to live out once :<)... and other than having periods I generally like the idea that I'm a woman. If that makes sense.

having to wear those tiny little pointy shoes. ''<

I've gotten out of that fairly well so far.

I'm a man, more or less as straight and "normal" when it comes to gender as you can get. That said, I don't necessarily like "manly" things (I don't watch sports at all, for instance).

It does occur to me that men are dramatically better off than women in the overall big picture of things. A woman has to deal with periods, childbirth, the media's attack on her body image (admittedly this can be a problem for men too), sexism, the necessity to groom for half an hour in the morning if she want to be able to even go outside, and an entire childhood spent in psychological warfare with her fellow women. The only major benefit I can see to being a woman is that women appear to be able to make friends of the same sex more easily than men can, and they often grow closer with other women than men can with other men.

not all women do that. I for one don't put on makeup or wear jewelry and I don't fuss about what clothes to wear either.

what

it takes me ten-fifteen minutes at the most normally, half an hour if I'm going to a party or some other occasion

 

[Equinoxe]

the necessity to groom for half an hour in the morning if she want to be able to even go outside

No offense, but it takes, like, not even a minute to get my hair into position.
Not all women have to perform "beauty-duties", for example I never put on make-up or anything of the sort. I prefer to look like myself :B


Anyway, concerning the poll: XX and female. I'm happy to be a woman and I like to be feminine even though my brain is (at some parts) more masculine than feminine. And I'm stereotypically only interested in manly men~

For some strange reason I do find getting people confused of my gender/sex on the internet fun, which is why I often use male characters as my avatars on forums and such (no idea why it's fun).

oh man I remember seeing this article years ago it was awesome

 

[thunder]

I am male and accidently messed up the poll by pressing the wrong button, is there a way to fix that?

 

[Jason-Kun]

XY and indentify as male.

I think this is more of a matter of what society in general expects women to do. I have known people who will consider a girl a slob or just look down on her for not wearing makeup. :\

 

[Cap'n Sofa]

XY, and I identify as male because I am physically male. It wouldn't be that bad if I somehow spontaneously became female or anything, aside from the initial "HOLY SH*T HOW THE F**K DID THAT EVEN HAPPEN* reaction. I don't really care and don't lean toward either stereotype.

Uh maybe; clarify what you voted as and what you wanted to vote as?

...I like it more now because I think it's more of a privilege."

Hmm, with all due respect, I disagree with her that being a woman is "a privilege".

I think I can agree with you on this. It's kind of something half of the population is born with. -.-

Wow, epic reaction there. : D

I'm biologically and mentally and physically male, although I can be quite feminine at times~

Actually, having the ability to flip at will (along with flipping making me look more different, too) would be AWESOME.

It's true, and studies generally show that the social things (the expectation to spend time looking good, the psychological warfare, etc) are far more damaging than the biological things like periods. This isn't to say that men get an entirely sweet deal; the expectation of masculinity is very burdensome and is the root cause of the vast amount of homophobia.

Basically, society's concepts of what is masculine and what is feminine is a) crap, and b) damaging to everyone.

I agree 100%. Although amusingly, on the flipside, people expect me to be extremely camp and such purely because of my sexuality and get surprised when they realise that I'm awful with fashion and whatnot. Well, it makes me laugh anyway.
