IF, IF it were me, if this very day, I found myself in that perdicament, (i.e. a man in a woman's body...) If I woke to find that I was still mentally and emotionally a male, yet my body was female.... Well, I suppose I would deal with a different set of problems, I would deal with the monthly cycles and all that, and I suppose that if I felt attracted to other females I would have to deal with the lesbian issues or learn to tollerate males for lovers... But seriously and sincerely, IF I were "a man in a woman's body, I do honestly believe that I would do the typically male thing, and NOT see a doctor, NOT change it, just deal with it. The "man inside" would just have to be a typically tough man and accept the situation - as most biological males do about most of their mental and physical health issues.
Of course, I am not "a man in a woman's body," it is easy for me to make conjecture about what I would do if I were. I am a biological male, in a male body, but I am VERY bisexual, the idea of a man for a lover is not at all revolting to me. Actually, I do believe that I would very easily deal with being a man in a woman's body, but that is just me.
But the fact is, that there are a few biological women who really want to be physically men, they PAY a lot for the surgery, because they want the outside body to agree with the man inside. GOOD GOD, for the life of me I just cannot understand why. I wish I could offer them my honest and heartfelt advice, and that is this: with every passing day, the situation of women in our society is IMPROVING, and the situation of men is deteriorating. A hundred years ago, maybe it was better to be a man, but now it is clearly better to be a woman and it is getter better every day.
So I guess my "vote" is this - let each individual decide for him or her self who she or he is, as long as you are not hurting anyone, dress as you like, alter your body as you like, live as you like. But as someone who lives in a male body, I cannot for the life of me understand why any woman would want to become a man... it would be like trading in a brand new Rolls-Royce for a junked Ford Pinto in my opinion. But if it is your body, then it is yours, I will not project my own feelings into another person - though I would try to stronly dissuade anyone from doing something that I personally believe to be very self destuctive.
