I find it almost impossible to imagine myself as a man, but no periods + male privilege sounds nice.
100% this.
I consider myself a woman, but I'm pretty apathetic about gender all told. I think I'd adjust to being male pretty well? It'd be weird and uncomfortable for a while and I'm sure I'd find things I'd miss about being a woman.
But between the male privilege and biological advantages (no periods, easier strength, etc), it sounds like a deal to me.
I’m an uber driver and had an ftm passenger in the car the other day. We got to talking about architecture and he was an absolute wealth of knowledge about the history of cities on the east coast.
Made me realize that I don’t see too many woman geeks. Like geeking out isn’t part of our society’s woman role.
I wondered if he transitioned so he could be a geek without social rejection.
Totally makes sense. I mean, it's surely more than that, but that's definitely a frustration.
I'm a woman who's into video games, science stuff, tech things, tabletop roleplaying games (like DnD), etc, among other things. It's not as bad as it used to be, but I definitely wasn't properly welcome.
I was rarely told that I wasn't welcome as a woman, but if, for example, I mention that I've been playing DnD for 10 years, it doesn't exactly feel welcoming to have them try to take my dice to explain them to me.
Men practically never have to put up with that kind of bullshit, as I understand.
I hear that, sistah.
