Why do you want to be a woman?

Right on LIZ, I am what I am. There, summed it up in one paragraph.

I never really wanted to be a girl cause I just am!! no wanting cause I’m living it, I am me Chelsea and I even have a tattoo that says women and streagth “girl power” in kanji on my right shoulder
All I have to say is “girl power” that’s me

I am not sure I had a choice. Given my current circumstance as a MM and in hindsight it would have been great to have had the choice; however, I am just trying to enjoy the opportunities I have to ‘experience’ life as a woman at this stage.
As I go through life I do wonder why I was not born female given my leanings to the feminine side of things (hey! more than 50% of the population is female) but then being transgender gives me the chance to see things from a perspective that ‘straight’ males or females would not be in a position to view.
I have a view that to some extent I am lucky to be able to experience gender from not just one side and therefore see ‘why a woman’ as a very positive thing that most in society either do not want or cannot confront.
….other than that I just love being gurl!!!

I quite simply am transgender , a transgender women, truly never was a ”man” so want to be me not what others want me to be. For a great many years I had no end of trouble fitting in to groups or work places and wondered why. When I realized the truth of my self why I felt that I didn’t fit became obvious.
Some may find the following an issue but logic of the trans situation is what it is. I will always be transgender and the best way to be is true to myself and that reality. I will never be fully a woman whatever I do. I have had a different up bringing and life experience so my reality is not that of a woman. Sadly lots of people will be unable to get that reality and will engage the world in a fight they can not win. Often that leads to tragic results.
So I am who and what I always was I just didn’t realize that reality till one day in mid life. So now I am a complete person I desire to be nothing else.

To answer the question. I don’t; because I am.
Being a woman is like being pregnant. You either are, or you aren’t. You can’t be half pregnant. That’s just my position.

For me now its not wanting, just being a woman is all I am and want.
yes I am too poor to change and have the opp, and my job is not that open minded, I work in a place where they kill me if they found out.but after work I slip of the uniform and just am who I am.

I’m a slow developer. I had this weird idea around puberty and it’s consumed my sleeping life since then and an increasing proportion of my waking life. I’ve finally started to listen to my inner voice and understand that it isn’t calling me to occasional dress-ups but to something more profound.

I agree with Kristyana in saying:
(I quite simply am transgender, a transgender women, truly never was a ”man” so want to be me and not what others want me to be)I never wanted to BE a woman, I only want to present myself in an outward appearance that my brain accepts as me. This appearance is in the female form in all ways and manner and when being in such form my brain is at peace within itself.
I believe this is why I am comfortable in just jeans or leggings and T-shirts as my brain accepts that this is normal clothing for 90% or more of the female population in my area. Right now I am wearing lingerie with a T-shirt and harem pants, no make-up but still very comfortable within myself.
Mind you I do love dresses from the 50’s era with all those stunning petticoats and especially the wiggle dresses.Cheers….Karly

What an interesting question. I’m not as brave as those who venture out or elect to completely change their lives by going through SRS so its hard to answer a question that asks how to define how to be a woman.
Well, there is a question in itself. How can we aspire to be something so great! I doubt any of us can really reach the summit of being a woman because we don’t know what its like to bear children or be in a relationship where we can nurture them. I hope there will be a day when Transgender people get the same chances as those afforded to a couple that decide to adopt and raise children. I suppose If I asked myself the question it would have to come to the comprehensive answer and be all encompassing in being a woman. “Having Children, Raising a Family, Being with someone that wanted to be with me’.
Who knows, maybe with the way the world is changing we will all be accepted and treated equally in the very near future.
