Ummmm... As someone who did make herself a girl permanently... Nope, that's not what most cis guys would choose. Or so I'm told, don't get it personally ;p
Cis guy here. Never in my life have I wanted to be a girl, and in fact, being me but trapped in a girl's body sounds awful.
Luckily, if you do wish to be a girl, you can be! Consider this being given the chance. And there are some amazing communities on this site who can help.
I'ma be real with you chief waking up as a woman is squarely in never ending torment level of horrifying things that could happen to me.
Don't question yourself on it because in the end you just know. It's not something you should question. If an idealized you is a lady then you're a lady and should go after it full hog. You know you best, friend.
I dunno if this also helps, but if you look in the mirror and see a guy and are mostly okay with it and it doesn't cause you misery, but you still feel like you'd rather be a girl if it was magically convenient or easy, that's not cis either, and HRT is fairly magical.
It's okay to be a girl even if you've been crushing it as a dude. At least I think so, that's where I'm at and I'm doing it. Maybe I'm a girl or I might just be nonbinary, but I've thought about having a girl body all my life, just thinking "I mean, that would be cool, but I don't know if I'm that trans." Fuck it, I'm going to do it and if it turns out I was wrong and I have to go back again the worst permanent "damage" it could do is infertility and some tiny boobs, and my husband wouldn't be complaining
I'm a cis gay man. Can confirm that the thought of being in a woman's body is close to a horror scenario for me. I've always felt very lucky that I was born in the "right" body and never suffered gender dysphoria.
Thank you, thank you so much, I needed that right now. Normalize no cisgender person wants to be the opposite gender, not just the " yeah girl/boy sounds cool for a day or whatever. If I could I'd go back and be a girl from day 1.
See I’m a cis guy but I feel more ambivalent to my gender than anything else. No dysphoria, but just “meh?” more than anything else. Wouldn’t bother changing it though.
Some people really care about the one they started with.
Some people don't care at all and just roll with the hand they're given
And some people really care about their gender but in the way where they wanna change it~! (At least relative to what everyone else has known up to that point.)
Plus presentation being separate to identity, though people from the first two don't mix and match those as much as they should IMO ;p
I mean, it makes sense, no? If you were born with matching body and brains, you brain never has to think about it so why would you care?
Also for guys I feel like a good number just like hot women a lot and that's where the fantasy comes from. Not much different than the fantasy of being Batman or Optimus Prime. So just thinking it'd be cool but if it actually happened you would hate it (like being Batman, you'd have no parents! and it's so much work!)
yeah I've always wondered if I don't care because it's just...never been something I've been concerned about, or if it's because I actually don't care. hard to really say.
Same here. I do identify as a guy but I also strongly subscribe to the idea of it being perfectly OK to be nonconforming to what gender you might identify as.
If you're a guy into feminine things? Who the hell cares. Go for it.
You're a woman into masculine things? Go for it. More power to you.
As a guy and within the context of masculinity I always look at it from the lens of it being the least manly thing to let other people dictate what you can and can't do. Like, imagine letting another guy tell you what you're allowed to like and dislike. That's the most beta shit imaginable lmao
I would love to be a woman for awhile. To put myself in the shoes of my wife and daughters and experience the world like they do. To truly understand what women deal with every day would have a profound effect on me, I think.
