I am a male to female transsexual and have always envied women. I hate everything about being a man, but was wondering what was wondering what women might really hate about being female. I know that periods are difficult and sexism is always an issue, so I am curious what else you may dislike.

For me it's the societal expectation on beauty regimens. LOL not that I go against it and don't shave my legs or anything, but man! there are some days where i think "why do i have to do this, but they don't have to?"
Large breasts can be a pain in theass too, always in the way, severe back pain, etc.
The stigma that goes along with a woman who enjoys her sexuality, guys are studs, women are "sluts".
And also for me the fear of pregnancy is one too, while men fear their girlfriends becoming pregnant, technically during the pregnancy itself their lives are not dramatically changed the way a woman's is, our bodies change, hormones and emotions. it's tough as hell knowing that if a condom breaks or a pill doesn't work, we will be the ones who have to go through all the changes.
and of course! that GD time of the month, ugh i understand it is my "flow of life" and all, but cheese and rice, can i take a few years off from it? lol

Apart from periods and childbirth, I'd rather have a smaller chest, boobs get in the way sometimes.
Ummmm, it'd be great to walk around without a shirt in summer like guys do, but I can't.
It's a nuisance having to constantly de-fuzz my underarms and legs in order to not scare anyone.(lol!)
It's be great to not have to wear make-up and also to have my hair clippered like a guys, so in the bathroom I can just give my hair a quick comb and that's it.
Having to wear a bra is a nuisance as well.
I get down sometimes because a fair few men only think that a woman who looks like a Playboy centrefold is the only way a woman should be.
Then there's expectations that are placed on us by society in general too. What a woman sees on tv and also reads about is constant bombardment on how we should be spending thousands of dollars on making ourselves look better, having the best career, house and car, etc, and how we naturally are is never good enough.

There is nothing I hate about being a woman...besides period, that you already mentioned. I do sometimes, dislike the emotional differences between men and women. I would like to, for once, not feel so emotional about certain things in a relationship and just be able to shrug things off or instill emotional sensitivity in men and have them understand women.
Good luck with everything in life, BlendedGender...your journey will be a rough one but always follow your heart and everything will be okay.

There is nothing I hate about being a woman. That said there are those things I envy about my husband. I would love to be capable of accomplishing some of the things my husband just seems to "know." He is extremely gifted in a variety of trade skills, home construction, automobile repair and restoration, etc.
You will have the opportunity to experience the best of both worlds. Enjoy!

At one job I had I was told by the men in HR that I had an "edge" because I was outspoken about my opinions. I doubt that they would have felt that way about a man. I wasn't loud or disrespectful, I was even fun to be around. When I heard from these two guys that they had this opinion of me, I was shocked. Then they emailed a link to the song "Red Neck Woman" to me and laughingly wanted to know what I thought about it. Since we live in Rhode Island, and I'm not a Red Neck, I felt like I was being set up to show some bad behavior. If you don't know the song, try to find it on the web and listen to it. Being a feminist, I didn't appreciate it, and they knew it. Being a woman in an office full of men in power, I had to hold my tongue or lose my job. This is what I hate about being a woman.

the whole monthly expelling of uterine lining. definitely.
aside from that, i hate trying to straighten my hair without the use of chemicals, but that's more an African-American thing than a woman thing.
finding cute shoes in a 9-1/2 (especially shoes on sale)
holding a conversation with men (and some women) where they're talking to my breasts as opposed to my face

Definitely PMS and periods but basically the whole hormonal monthly cycle really reeks havoc on my emotions and nerves. I wish I could go through a DAY as a man and see what its like to not have my emotions shifting every 10 minutes.

As a transsexual woman, (and proudly not transgendered nor part of the LGBT), what I believe I hate most is the attention from men.

I hate being paid less than my male colleagues for doing the same work. Other than that, there's nothing I hate about being a woman. Good luck to you in your new life, and welcome to the club. Now you'll get to find out why women always go to the ladies' room in groups.

Well, we can't stand up & pee & we can't write our names with pee in the dirt(sorry, that sounds cool). We also have to wear shirts out & men don't always.Period's are really gross, giving birth is really painful but other than that I'm pretty happy.
