Could you handle

[Candice Mae]

Could you handle living as the oppisite gender full time?

[lynda]

yes i would love it, i love when i feel and look like a women, i would love to dress 24/7 for the rest of my life . ifeel more like myself talking a and being withother girls hugs lynda

[ArleneRaquel]

I have been living as a woman 24/7 for over 10 years now and I love it.

[Nadine Spirit]

In short, no.

But more than that, sure I could handle it, but that is not me. In trying to do so that would be like trying to live as a man and conforming to that genders culturally defined norms. It is not me to do that and it would not be me to do the same thing as a woman. I see my gender preferences as existing somewhere in the middle. Interesting enough, for a long portion of my life, I couldn't mentally handle doing that either.

[BOBBI G.]

I've been in the world for the last two years, and there is no going back. I am the girl I was born to be, and will let the world know every day.

Sometimes I wonder whether I am attracted to CD because I do not have enough opportunities to do it. I suspect given the chance to do it as much as I want, anyway I want, the thrill may simply disappear. I don't know, but that is what I feel.

[vicky_cd99_2]

If the girl I see in the mirror matched the girl you see when looking at me then maybe. But my frame and size do not allow it. I can never look like a genetic girl not even close. You know that whole lipstick on a pig thing, it applies. Vicky is an escape from reality, she always has been. I have been dressing in one way or another since age 9. My male side is definitely the dominant factor in my life. Accepting Vicky has been the most calming thing I have ever done though. She has put the bubble in the middle

I would love to be able to be Tina full time.....for 3 or 4 days. Then male for 3 or 4 days. Then Tina....etc. That would give me complete immersion in both genders for a period of time and yet still give me the satisfaction I gain from life in each gender. It would be even better if my two gendered selves could live in two different cities, just far enough apart to really separate my two selves.

[katie elouise]

I would like to think I could handle it ,but as to being made up everyday and everything else involved to go out passable or to blend in can be exhausting and as a regular guy I am just to lazy to commit being en femme 24/7. well somebody had to admit to being lazy !!! Katie x.

[kayla316]

A part of me would like to try but where I live it wouldn't turn out well. I have an out of state friend who said if I ever visited she would love to give me a makeover and go out with me dressed. Being married however makes that pretty much a pipe dream right now.

[lingerieLiz]

I could now. Back when I was young I had the chance, but I also liked my boy mode. Today all my friends are women. It isn't sexual, I'm married and love my wife, but I could easily live as a woman.

[Lisa760]

I'm not sure but I would love to Try it some day most I've gone was from Friday afternoon to Sunday night.

[Sarah Beth]

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 dfferent 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 would have to say no. There is just so much more to my world than my time as the opposite sex.

There is just to much man in me to be Sarah full time.

I've considered this proposition over many years, but I have ultimately (and painfully) come to the same conclusion. I love certain traits of masculinity, i.e., its mythology, its history and fashions--and I rock all of those in a classic, gentlemanly, way. For myself alone, it's intelligence and elegance no matter what gender I represent. Nevertheless, I would enthusiastically opt for a month or two of full-time fem as a balance. I long for the return of days when I could take a week off and dress all day and go out. It was so exhilarating, but natural. These prolonged outings were a welcome balance. Of course, my masculinity is sensitive and not brutish, but I can't say it's the woman in me trying to get out. I enjoy the idea of a noble and chivalrous male, just as I love the fact that I can be a woman and invoke a side of me that also exists without male influence. Maybe they're the same thing; I don't know. As hard as it is sometimes, perhaps we're blessed with this spectrum of duality. I just wish that I had the means to indulge my other side a bit more, rather than famine over feast.

[Margot Emerson]

No doubt that I most definitely could. In an instant! Not only could I, but I would prefer to. I don't think I would have said that a year ago, but that was then.

[DebbieL]

Today, I can and do. I've been living full time as female for about 18 months now, and have been quite happy doing so.
For 3 years before that, I lived 120 hours/week as female - work and church were spent in "boy mode" and barely even then.

When I was 20, such a thing would have been almost unimaginable. Back in 1976, transgender males were not treated kindly at all.
Even going to an women's college as one of 25 males, I feared discovery and it's consequences. I worked on stage crew and had to deal with carpenters and welders (doing carpentry and welding myself). It paid tuition and I couldn't afford to lose the job.

I was attacked 2-4 times a day in elementary school, twice a day in Jr high, and was assumed to be gay in high school. Even though I wanted more than anything in the world to be able to be a girl, to be able to go to school as a girl, to be able to play with my girl friends at school, to not have to pretend to be a boy, I couldn't even talk about it with my parents. They knew, but what they didn't tell me was that the "cure" for someone like me, back in the 1960s, was shock, torture, and lobotomy. I didn't find out about it until days before my father died, after he told me "Be yourself, even if that means being Debbie".

[Stephania]

I would say yes as I have since last January.

[kimdl93]

Handle it...yes. But I have to qualify that. I have no reservations about living day to day as a woman. I've done it for weeks at a time. But there are parts of my life where I'm less sure about being accepted....that would include my wife, who has really grown less accepting, along with some extended family members and business associates.

[natcrys]

What does that mean exactly?

Just wearing the clothes and heels? Having to wear make-up? Having to deal with the unequal pay?

If I look at my GG friends.. most of them don't wear the stereotypical feminine clothing or heels. Only a few wear make-up.

So, I don't really know how to interpret this question...

[Zylia]

Assuming I was born as the opposite gender; sure why not? 50% of the world's population seems to be able to manage it.

[Krisi]

If I had a female body I could live full time as a female. 50% of the population does it every day. Getting up every day and trying to disguise my male body as female? Probably not. Too much work and not 100% effective.

[Princess29]

its not for me

[reb.femme]

Assuming I was born as the opposite gender; sure why not? 50% of the world's population seems to be able to manage it.

A distinct whiff of sarcasm here,....but funny none the less.

I'm another of the 'too much man in me' brigade and now in my fifties, my face without make-up is testament to the ravages of testosterone. I would love to wear my girl kit to work as and when I wanted, but that isn't going to happen either. I can fantasise about the living full time but reality is a hard master to me.

[jennifer_w]

I would say no, more or less for reasons like Sarah summarized.

[Dana3]

In a perfect world, without any and all of the judgmental , stereotyping, categorizing, prejudice, biased, etc involved? I could and would do it just to have the experience of doing so. Trouble is? Life is what happens when you make other plans! The Titanic PLANNED to sail from Great Britain to New York, but didn't quite make it.

There are progressive parts of the country where one could do so? But they are the exception and not the norm ~ and even in those areas there's your 10% of azzhats, that believe its their God given right to set others "RIGHT" to their way of thinking and seeing things, all the while they themselves are the less mentally, emotionally, psychologically , and spiritually un-evolved persons stuck in strict binary logic and perception.
