Are you ok with your gender ?

actually,i want to be a guy.because women always get hurt.they are the one who always suffer.the only thing that i like being a woman is that i gave birth to my kids.i love being a mother.but if i am going to choose,i will choose to become a guy.if you heard the song of beyonce if i were a boy,you will get what i mean.

To be very true... I used to cry for being a gal.I was a Tom Boy and I never shared anything with girls.I never was even open to them. I felt hesitation with them even while talking to them I had boys as all my friends. Well though I am okay with it now(a bit). And to your surprise I have seen a boy who isn't happy being a boy, he wanted to be a beautiful girl and get married to some rich Boy and have no work to do just prepare food for two time. Well I dont feel now like that I am all right with whatever I am now!!!

I am perfectly happy being a woman and do not wish to change. A women is allowed to cry while a man may want to but it's best he bottles it up. It is expected of a man to be the leader. A woman only if she chooses to do so. It is expected that the man is the head of the family with allthe implications. If a woman wants to run the familt she may do but by choice. A woman bears children. No man can take that away from her. A woman if she want to can appear weaker whne she not neccessarily is. If a man appears to be weak he is not a man. What I am trying to say but might not be getting across is that a woman has the right to be a woman whereas nto always nowadays a man is allowed to be what a man should be depending on his circumstances and the people who wurround him. I am quite happy to be what I was botn as, a woman.

I'm happy with my gender but when I was young in the 70's and 80's men had so many more opportunities than women did and I wished that I could be a man. But that was only because I wanted a better job. I also used to wish I were a man when it came to relationships because women are so easily fooled by men who will tell them anything to get them into bed. But I've always been happy with my sexuality, just not the circumstances sometimes.

Honestly, I'm perfectly happy to a woman. I have ups and downs, just like everybody else, but I'm satisfied with my gender. I do believe that this was who I was supposed to be. I'm not perfect, and I don't pretend to be. I believe that it's impossible to be perfect. But I know that I can certainly try to become a better person, which is something that I want to try and achieve.

I am a woman and I would not want it any other way, I am happy, content, satisfied and proud of who I am and what I have accomplished in my life. When I first read the title of this discussion I thought it was going to be about wanting to be a different gender because the person just did not feel happy in their own skin and thought inside that they were of the opposite gender then what showed outside but now I see it is not. I think that it is a true shame when someone that is born a woman and feels like a woman inside wants to change their gender because of some religious laws. Personally I think that these religious laws should be lifted for women just the same as they have been for men many years ago and then society just may find out that many women prefer to be women but they just want to be able to live a normal existence in the 21st century. You are 100% right when you mention about the men being able to wear jeans etc. and the women still stuck in their traditional clothing day in and day out. You do not see a lot of these religious men walking around in the male traditional clothing, and why? Because they don't want to. They don't want to be uncomfortable but it is OK for their women to be uncomfortable and that is simply not right. I have absolutely no problem with the men insisting on the women wearing the traditional clothing As Long As the men do the same thing. If you walk into a city or village and all women And men are wearing the traditional clothing then people will respect the men as well as the women but these men walking around talking about how religious they are and they don't even have enough respect for their religion to wear the traditional clothing because they don't want to be uncomfortable is a bunch of malarkey. And that is what makes it so sad that a woman does not even want to be a woman any more because of the double standards these religious men have seen fit to practice. ;)

For your first question, my answer is yes and I am happy with what God has given me. Though like others, it is also much exciting if in your next life you will be the opposite so you could experience what would it be like to be a man or a woman. With regards to the sentiment of some muslim women, I hope one day they could also wear clothes that they like, those that they are most comfortable with.

In general, yes I am fine being a woman. There have been times I have teased about wishing I was a man, but it's not due to insecurity or nothin. It's usually when I am on my period and in great pain. Men don't have to suffer through the torture that can come at that time of the month. However, that's generally the only time I've said I wished I was a man, and I have plenty of reasons for not wanting to be one as well, but I won't get into that one, lmao!

Yes I am contented of what I am being a man. We have also some cities here that majority are Islams. As you had said, women are covered so tight specially during their special festivities. However, I never had a chance to talk any Islamic women and would ask their opinion about this Purdah of Boorkah in your place. I just don't know if it's the same as here in our Islamic brother and sisters. Well I guess if those Islamic women practicing still this tradition like our Islamic women here, they are just maybe a typical and conservative one. There were complaining because they were already adopted and already been influenced by some of their friends while they were still studying or working most of the time at the urban cities...Nice topic friend

I think that's more of a cultural thing you have there, because in other countries the traditions, customs... they're pretty much wiped out and women can wear jeans and do almost the same things men do. In my case, the only thing I dislike about being a woman is the menstrual cycle. It gives me so much physical pain, sometimes it makes me faint. All else is okay.

I'm actually pretty happy with being a female. Of course, there are certain restrictions in freedom that I would love to change (or else become a male for those reasons), but for the most part I'm pretty happy. I definitely hate it when it gets to be my "time" of the month though, stupid biological system. Otherwise, I like being a girl, although in my next life I would want to try out life as a male, I think that would be pretty interesting. It's not like guys go about life without their share of hardships either.

I'm fine with my gender and by my experience, though men usually sigh and complain how tough the society is becoming and how much pressure on them, at least now none i've heard hope to change their gender if they had a second choice. so are women. we are used to it. and i hope to be a better woman in future life.

Honestly, I think there is an equal amount of pressure coming from both sides. I would rather be a girl - I like to dress up, wear makeup, and go clothes shopping. I like the way that I look (on most days). I couldn't imagine being anyone different. :)

i love my gender..:) I love being a female..despite of the patriarchal system and woman being the once who get pregnant and has menstrual flow..:D except that I think without women life is unproductive..:)

In those countrys I think that women are very suppressed and unhappy about it. Maybe they feel so insecure that they just don't know how to get out of it and stand up for themselves. I would love to see them all band together and revolt but I doubt they will. As for the men wanting to be women in the next life...sure they do. If they really cared to know how their women felt...they'd do a bit of role swapping right now and they'd know how they feel and maybe work to help them change things. Heck, we have had men walk around with pregnant bellies so they can understand what women here feel like. I live in the states and I love being a woman. If a woman here is suppressed it is only because she let herself be.

there are pros and cons in both the genders, i think the "ok" level varies with each stage in our lives, if you had asked this question to me when i was a kid or nearing the teenage period, i would have sworn to become a boy by some means due to the freedom they get and the girls being denied the same, after that stage, when i was nearing my marriage, the attention that i recieved from my hubby made me feel good about being a woman, the stage i adore the most being a woman was when i conceived and i felt the movement of my baby in my tummy, that is the wonderful period in any woman's life which can replace no other feelings in her life and then the moment i delivered my baby and saw her for the first time, it was a painful process, but i decided not to cry at any point, to not receive my baby into the world with tears in my eyes and i am so very happy that it was a "girl" baby in that she can also cherish the gift of lovely "womanhood" my conclusion is i love being a woman, the pros' are more than the cons' i would say, hope you yourself know it

yes i am very happy as woman!and i am even proud of me being a mother

I am a woman and I wouldn't have it any other way. I live in the US and there are "gay" people who like same gender relationships, I am fine with that and don't think that there is anything wrong with that. I just don't want to participate. In some countries, religions, and such women are treated much differently than men, and I can see where women may wish to be men in these situations. I enjoy my freedom to be able to dress the way I want, to be able to go places by myself, and not have to follow strict rules. I think that if I had to wear the robes and keep my face covered, and not be able to do certain things without "male" supervision, I may actually wish to be male. Especially if I moved to such a place and had to automatically start following this order. If I were born into it, I may have a different opinion. I myself find that I am strong, secure, and can rely on myself to be happy, self supportive, and independant. Although in all honesty, I enjoy being married, I have a wonderful husband of which I have no problem at all admitting that he is the bread winner, but we share the task of "wearing the pants" when it comes to running the household. Yes, I also know that there are men that are born males, but have the desire to be female. Some have "made the transition" and other can't afford it, but dress and act the part of being a female. This is just the reverse for some females. These people I feel somewhat sorry for, they were born one gender but their "genes" react as the other gender. I feel it must be very difficult for them to live in a society that is totally unable to grasp their situation. Under these circumstances they should be able to live how they want to. Everyone infact should have that right. Although they should let their actual gender desires and "parts" be known as far as dating and relationships go. Its like here in the US, there is "the pregnant man" I myself feel that this is not a correct title. He was actually a woman, kept the female reprodutive system, but took harmones to present and live himself as a man. Yes, he is married to a woman which again I have no problem with this, I just don't think he should actually be considered a pregnant man. He was not born with male parts and this is why he can and has become pregnant.

Well being born a woman has good and bad. the good is that we have the joy of delivering our children the bad is that women are defined weaker and suffer more. I wish that i was a guy, maybe for trying what does it mean to be a man.

well me I'm happy being a woman, woman easily handle their problem, Once there is a problem woman can easily remove the pain in her heart through crying, she can cry on the shoulder of her friends. I am also happy because woman can give birth, I gave birth to my son and daughter. though giving birth is to hard and too painful but still I am very because I have them, When i have a problem I forget it because of my children, they always makes me laugh so that's why I am happy.
