How good we've got it?

[noname]

Question for the FTM. Do you ever look at GMs and think, they don't know how good they've got it?

What's a GM?

If you mean those girly girls with there make-up. And looking like dolls (somethimes) from my age (20) then I would think:

Why don't you f***** respect me? Let me be who I am.

(No insulting to the girls on this forum, becose they respect me and I them) :D

GM means Genetic Male

Thanks :thumbsup:

Indeed, if your gender in your head and that of your body matchess life is far more easy. Yeah, then life is so easy. (Lucky them)

[John]

On a superficial level, yeah. They don't know what it's like to look in the mirror and feel like you're living in a costume. On another level, I know a lot of them apreciate how dificalt being transexual is, and that I'm sure that many of them have dificalties that we're oblivious to.

I meen, not to say I'm not bloddy envious or anything, but I try not to presume.

Every single day - and I tell them that sometimes too. Most of them agree with me. :sigh:

[Dasein9]

Nah. They have what I want, but not nearly the capacity to appreciate it that I do. I have the capacity for appreciation, without actually having the things I want.

We're both pretty much SOL.

[ZenFrost]

Eh, sorta. Sometimes I think of how lucky they are to never have to deal with periods, but that might just be because I get really, really, seriously bad periods. But usually I can't think they've got it really good because it's not something they have to think about. Like Das said, they are what I want to be, but they take it for granted and can't appreciate it as much as I can.

So yes and no. Yes because there are so many things I have to deal with as a woman that I wouldn't have to deal with as a man, and no because how can I envy someone who doesn't even realize that they have something great? Not knowing how lucky they are is being ignorant (in a way) and that isn't something I'd ever want.

P.S. I'm just talking about GMs here, not MtFs because they're essentially in the same boat as me.

I do cos I think B***** male privilege and I think they get spoil t to and that's so dam annoying at times :Angry3: It's like it's a given that genetic males should be pampered and run around after, like one set of rules for one and another for everyone else it drives me nuts. I am all for equality so this sort of thing grinds on me loads! xx Felix :hugs:

[crazy4cheezeits]

OK, so sure, rationally I can see the whole yes they have it but they don't appreciate it thing.
But regardless, when I hear a GM complaining about not being fit enough or something along those lines about their body, I get pretty bitter and jealous.

[false_dichotomy]

Well, something along those lines. Obviously I'm jealous as anything... especially when I get turned down by someone because I don't have a real one... :Angry3:

[Tristan]

I think that anytime I sweat to beat death in a binder thats not painful just uncomfortable or as I'm fighting to get in it.

[jsoto81]

on a superficial level also. I think why can't I grow a beard, or have that chest, or stand up to pee. Or be that tall. But that's the only thing I'd change, I like my personality alot, just not my looks.

[Cai]

The only things I get jealous of are height and the ability to go shirtless. I'd love to be able to swim in jammers.

I don't mind being TS. I think it gives me a very unique perspective on the world that you can't get any other way. The only thing that I'd do if I had it to do over would be to figure out what was wrong sooner. Knowing sooner might have kept me from sharing nearly 8 years of my life with an eating disorder.
