Another good question to ask IMO is one that would measure how many of you feel maternal. Being pregnant and giving birth is only just the beginning. How many of you feel as if your heart is melting when you are holding your baby? How many of you hold your baby and never tire of watching his tiny face?

Hmm Bev GG forgot the morning sickness which buy the way isn't just in the mornings and not once a day, wanting to pee all the time, not being able to sleep properly because your uncomfortable, then if you're lucky and do drop off you're woken up cause you need the loo, or because the baby is playing football in your tummy, and belive me that hurts.
Yes being pregnant and giving birth is a wonderful thing to experience, it's just the all the bits that go with it, that a lot of people don't think or know about.
I don't want to upset anyone here,or start a war, but I can understand why a transexuall would want to experience this as they are IMO female, but why a cder who is a male, would want to experience this confuses me.

I also feel confused about this. Unless the CDer is in denial about being TS?Originally Posted by Sandra
But ... there are also lots of folks in between, who do not identify as either CD or TS. These are the individuals who hate labels, and I understand why. It is difficult to define. So maybe these TGs feel they are both genders, or just plain trans, and they want to experience everything there is to experience about each gender?

I'll go with thatbe interesting to hear their views.

I don't think it is necessarily about whether they are CD or TS. I have heard non-TG males says they would like to experience child birth. There is a large curiosity factor there I have to admit.
So my answer would be no at my age and I would think yes if I was 20-30 years younger. But it is always easier to say you would want to do something in a situation that can't happen. So who knows?
Since this can only be a fantasy question, then my answer is definitely yes and I'm not even TS. I'm already a father and grandfather so if it were possible, I'd have to be a lot younger to take on this experience. Child rearing is an amazing experience...not always pleasant but tremendously rewarding. The creation of life is strictly a GG ability and I've always felt that lacking that experience denies the female wannabes complete membership in that gender.
For me, being pregnant and giving birth would be on the top of my list and then #2 would have to be being a bride.

There is a big difference between curiosity and wanting to be a woman, IMO!
I sometimes wonder what it would feel like to be a guy, but there is no way I identify with any part of it. I think the question here has more to do with how deeply felt is the desire to experience this facet of being a woman and not whether someone might just be curious.
Earlier in this thread I asked a question about CDs feeling maternal, but I didn't explain why. I was trying to make the point that although pregnancy and childbirth are wonderful, they are only a very small part of the entire process. The real ultimate female challenge is raising and nurturing the child through his adult years and doing this with unconditional love. And, this joy is not limited to mothers. Fathers experience it too.
So to all who have answered you would love to be pregnant, if you are fathers, you are already experiencing the ultimate in raising a child. If that makes sense.

And I agree. I do all of the above except the birthing part. So, I don't really see any benefit for me to birth my children since I get everything else anyway.There is a big difference between curiosity and wanting to be a woman, IMO!

My answer is a definate YES! Giving birth is the ultimate female experience and if I were female I would want to experience this at least once in my life. Being a parent is a huge responsibility but the rewards are well worth it.
I think you have hit the nail on the head - if I were a GG I would want to have a baby but it is not genetically possible.
If it were possible I would love to have the chance to become a Mother, and all it entails. I would love to have children, but it was never meant to be.
I would love to have children, to be able to give birth would be great,but that not being possible I would be more than elated to be able to adopt. It's not really about the "ultimate female experience" it's about having a family and raising kids.
I am a dad, and that has been the most rewarding experience of my life. Children are a gift from God, and raising them gives me a purpose in life.
Me being pregnant? I'll pass......
This is one of the many reasons I'm glad I'm a guy. My wife took care of having the kids (she's a wonderful mom). I get to enjoy raising them!
