Why do you want to be a woman?
Last night when chatting to a woman in Sri Lanka, she asked me that question “Why do you want to be a lady?” as a passing question and expecting a quick and simple answer. I actually had to go offline for half an hour anyway so I didn’t answer immediately.
My question is how would you answer this in a paragraph?

Hi Fran, a question that has been talked about a lot in the past on TgR . I guess we would all have our own reasons.
In her book” She’s not there” Jenny Boylan says that she used to tell people ” I do it because I can’t NOT do it” This seems to me to be as good an answer as any other.

because my life is lucky when i crossdress but cursed when i don’t. The universe rewards me when i commit to transgender and whips me like a cur when i falter. Either that or I’m weak. lol. which i am but i don’t have a problem with that and no one else seems to either. bizarrely fiona seems to be well accepted. In the end only kindness matters. I don’t think the universe knows that but our people in aus seem to believe it.

This is a question a few GG women have asked me. I begin my answer by saying that I don’t want to be anything that I’m not already. I just want to be this way because it’s where I’m most comfortable, because I identify as being of the female gender. I don’t argue that I am a woman (or lady). It can be counter productive and in any case I don’t care what people think I am, as long as they let me be who I am. Oh! And I love wearing dresses…

I always reply with,
Its out of necessity, My brain has always told me i was and living a lie had become much harder then living the truth.Beth.

its not that I want to be a woman, its just that I have accepted I am a woman… both mentally and sexually. I am happier, calmer and more comfortable as April…

What more can I say??? Felicity-Lane, Bethany and April, have said it all, and so succintly.
Someone sent me an email some time ago, wanting to more about my alter-ego. i.e. the Catherine side of me. After checking the dictionary for the correct interperation of the word, I had to tell them about Paul; the little bit of maleness, Catherine exhibits.
Be safe, well and happy
Lotsa luv

These questions are usually best answered with another question. For example;
(to the woman) “Are you straight, and if so, why do you want to be straight?”
Predicted answer – “Because it feels right and normal” or, “I don’t have any choice, it’s just how I am”
Simple response – “There you go, you answered your own question
“ -
Catherine, Loren, many others here, I may have this wrong, but I think what we’re trying to say here is: “It’s not a choice”.
Do you really think anyone would want to live with the angst, aggravation and grief that we go through because we want it? Do we choose to be who we are just so that we can be ostracized, be discriminated against, and have less education, employment and health support opportunities?
“It’s not a choice” goes a long way to educating people who have sufficient curiosity to inquire, and presents the perfect platform for transitioning (pun intended) that person into an ally/supporter. Even if “It’s not a choice” is not scientifically proven, there is some reason out there for it – just no science to back it up yet. Funny thing is, not much science backing up many religious beliefs either, yet that is acceptable by many (and I don’t mean any disrespect to any religious people reading this – freedom of harm free thoughts/beliefs is a basic right I abide by).

I totally agree with you Virginia!
I just ‘know’ who I am!

A good question for them, simple and direct… do men WANT to go bald? .. no choice! -
The short answer is that I have no idea why I want to be female. All I know is that I started crossdressing when I was very young, without any prompting or outside influence (that I was aware of) and haven’t stopped since then. I imagine that there is some reason, but I have no idea what it is.
I suppose I could list all of the female traits and physical characteristics that I find appealing. But then a lot of straight people (M and F) make similar lists without having the need need to (as far as I know) experience them.
It’s a mystery! :scratch:

Why do you want to be a woman?
Simply, it’s who and what I am. I just want to be me; there’s no choice in the matter.

Hi,
I never wonted to be a woman though really the ? should be did i wont to be a female that applys more directly to who i am.
i had no say at all so being female was part of a start of growing into a woman , allso there was never a struggle in my growing fact was it was far easyer & more natrual , some of us have that capasity /
so in a paragraph . im a woman because i was female to start with.
it was not a wont,
