Could you handle

[sandra-leigh]

I tried it and failed, it became too hard for me. I don't even try anymore. That's why I'm transitioning: my "opposite gender" is "male".

Now if the question had been about chromosomal sex...

[Candice Mae]

Ah I shouldn't have drunk posted after a long night out, what I ment what was do you think you could handle transistioning and life after words.

Well.. if you put that way.. then no. Simply because I don't want to transition.

I would, however, like to get my life situation to a point where my dressing and related activities are more 50/50.

Could you handle living as the oppisite gender full time?

If you HAD meant "could you handle cross dressing full time?" then the answer in "no" - even if it was possible to do so without negative consequences. Most of the time I like being a guy. I just happen to like being a girl occasionally.

Transitioning has never been on my agenda (see above) so I'm not qualified to comment.

This is a constantly returning fantasy for me. I adore being transformed into a femme-like state. But Abandoning all of the male trappings and being freely able to wear female trappings. If I could remove my beard and chest hair, then I don't think I'd have a problem presenting female all the time. I'd love to be free to try many hairstyles and colors, get all the spa treatments, all the scents.....
But this would only happen if I won a lottery.
My wonder is whether this would get boring....

Humans can handle a lot if absolutely necessary but I don't want to do that so it would just be speculation if I could handle it or not.

[Sarina Curtis]

In all honesty, no. Echoing the sentiments of some others in this thread I'm not unhappy being a guy, I just enjoy how I feel wearing women's clothing. Like ChrissyW1 said the getting there would be the undoing of me. Although my wife seems ok with things as they are now, there are too many ways that going en femme 24/7 would damage a like I generally enjoy and have worked very hard to create.

[5150 Girl]

I'm almost full time as it is, so yea!!! If I could afford to transition, I would!

[Krisi]

OK, since we're now talking about transitioning, the answer is "no". Just adding parts here and removing them there wouldn't make me a "real" woman. The hands are too big, the feet are too big, the face isn't right, the body proportinos are not right.

[Sarah Doepner]

Could I handle being a male presenting as a woman 24/7? Sure I could, I've done some things that I never would have thought possible. I worked with people who believed many things I didn't share for 30 years, I rappelled down into a pool of cold water in a slot canyon where people had died a year before and I stayed supportive as I sat with my wife as she slowly died from cancer. Would I like it? Occasionally I would, but at times it would be more trouble than I'm prepared for now. I don't want that kind of challenge at this stage in my life.

This is a whole new kettle of horses of a different color. You see you are asking if one is transsexual if they can handle living as a woman. The answer to that is usually "yes" if the are TS. We don't really have1 a choice. All the roadblocks and all the speed bumps and the "glass ceilings" are part of what you sign in for. My opinion? If you can't stand the heat, you are probably not a TS (although you may play at being one). Handling being 24/7 is what you do to get where you are going. CDs don't need to fear that. If the going gets rough, you just go back to the 1.1 version. But to me, personally transitioning is a commitment. Since I made that commitment I will fight to break the "Glass ceiling" I will fight to be equal. This makes my cause even stronger because I know how different things are between men and women (*which should not be)

I think the OP was more intriguing. Sort of a Dick Gregory idea. See just how the other half lives. Fun and excitement for breaking gender rules, for living on the edge. Mostly because of the mental fears you have, not the real life fears. Like driving a race car or jumping out of a plane. But then you can go home and grill hamburgers. So I get te "If for X amount of time would you dress as a woman knowing you can jump back" is more interesting to me.

[Lee Andrews]

I would have to say no. There is just so much more to my world than my time as the opposite sex. If things were different if my life had gone a different direction than it did and my circumstances today were different I might have tried doing that. There is just to much man in me to be Sarah full time.

I agree whole hardheartedly.
I cherish my time as my alter ego Lee and think it would just be the same old same old except in a skirt. Lee Is a relatively stress free place to escape from my everyday life. Doing it full time would lose that for me.

I wish i had the courage that you do Jorja! I am very envious! I have children that i feal very much need both mom and a dad. If never had children tho,i would Love to live as a woman. Hope in my next life,i get that chance!

Very true Lorileah.

I was just thinking about everything I've been through the ups and downs over the last year, and how far I've come and have yet to go. I Just like to add some realism around here, and make people think out side the box in how most of a CD's problems are minor when compared to a TS's.

[MayaMe]

A question I have been trying to answer. I think I really just want to be happy and to be me with no limits. I could adapt to living any way I had to, but I don't think I could be happy with that. I am still trying to understand where I need to go.
