I’m sure I would be a girly girl. If I ever got the chance to be female I wouldn’t take it for granted. I would live life to it’s feminine fullest.

What a dream, to have been born a girl.  

I think I would still have liked to study science (and work as a scientist) and be a bit sporty (but I’d probably have played field hockey and netball rather than basket ball) and most probably I’d be a lesbian.  But I would be very girly, soft print summer dresses and high heel sandals, crying at romantic movies and spending too much on handbags.

(Sorry if this is a bit stereotypical and virgin on being a bit sexist….but on the plus side, I think I would like to improve the image of lady drivers! ).

Es curioso, no tengo nadie a mí alrededor que le guste vestirse sexy, que se maquille, que se pinte los labios , que se pinte las uñas, que le guste ponerse joyas. Ni mi esposa, ni mi madre, ni las féminas de la familia de mi esposa. No sé cómo sería mi vida, pero seguro que haría todas esas cosas.

Fun question and certainly thought provoking.  In general, I would probably be the way I am but more so since my personality would have been nurtured as feminine from birth.

I could see me being a wife and mother.   I love fashion and makeup so I would probably be even more of a girly girl that I am now.   I might have even gone into fashion as a career, maybe opening my own boutique.  Even now I would love to work in a boutique or salon.  I expect that I would still have loved to travel since I have a curiosity about history and what life is like in other parts of the world.

Hi Kay.

I have asked myself the same question many times throughout my existence. The answer has changed over time.

I would like to be a fun girl. I suppose it would have saved me some problems, but I certainly would have had others. I would be more skilled at putting on makeup and could wear more daring clothes and a bikini. It would have been entertaining for me. Maybe I would have found a more lasting love. Maybe in Paradise I will be.

That's a fun question Kay.  I think I would have dated more in highschool and college.  Although, objectively I was a handsome young man I never felt attractive or desired.  It wasn't lack of confidence or self esteem,  I just didn't like how I felt about myself.  I now know that was dysphoria. Although I didn't realize it at the time, I was a more of a woman then a man.   I believe my life as far as hobbies and career path would be similar but I would have been happier overall day to day.  I probably would have married younger.  But, IDk🤷🏻‍♀️

Well now, like many of us, I've often wished I'd been born a girl. And I'm convinced in my own mind that I would have been a girly girl, always in dresses and heels, full makeup and with nicely styled hair. Fun and travel would have figured prominently in my life. But I think I would have preferred to keep my independence, and not get into long-lasting relationships of any kind.

I have a sister, quite a few years older than me. After university she went on to live a rather male-oriented life in some ways. My mum sometimes said that we'd been born the wrong way round, that my sister should have been the boy and I the girl. Many's the time I've wondered how things would have turned out if that had been the case. If only...

I'll never know, of course. But sometimes I wonder, if I had been born a girl, would I have spent my entire life wishing I'd been born a boy?

I love this question as I've never really thought about it.  I was very athletic growing up so I suspect I may have been a bit of a tomboy.  That said, I'm in love with all frilly and lace enhanced clothing women get to wear.  I believe I would have spent hours on end prepping for weekend outings making certain I had the perfect outfit and making sure my makeup was dead on perfect.  Because I also admire the curves of all women, I suspect I would have been a lesbian.  

Thanks Kay as this is a question interestingly, I have never really contemplated before. One thing I definitely know is I would have still been quite sport mad like our entire family is including my only sister. Everything else I'm not so sure as my current passions for old cars, fast cars and motor sport I wonder did they start from trying to look boyish rather than a genuine desire for them. Would my passions be any different if I was given Barbie Dolls instead of Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars as a child?  I'm really not sure. 

Always an interesting question as being born female would have made life different. As a small child my thoughts were that I liked being with girls and wanted to be like them which felt comfortable with me. At that age being a beauty queen was an aspiration, a tall order as I was very short! The most impactive is the hormonal stage where the paths would have deviated quite a lot in sexual preferences and 'Urges' which changes you and also what society expected.

The way I look at it is to take sexuality and relationships out of the equation and where my thoughts were at when leaving school, aware of my inner feelings. The other factors are school achievement, social standing and expectations. Two choices were in my mind, being a teacher which was thwarted due to lack of finances for study and being a nurse which, oddly, was not one for the boys back then but would have done it at the drop of a hat if things were different.. I did get a good offer for a clerical position in a governmental organisation but the commute turned me off. I ended up in the hospitality sector. for over twenty years and then the public sector for the next twenty. All of the jobs would suit a female so would things have been different jobs wise and they fitted well at my social level and well inside my academic level. My nature was always empathetic and with covertly female overtones which was useful in my work.

So in some respects I feel that what I have done would parallel my female side but as a female I would have dressed a damn sight better most of the time as opposed to some of the time as male.....

Oh my Kay!!  Where do I begin answering what, for me, is a loaded question?

If you'd been born female...where would you be?

Hmmm, what would you do if you found out that you were? Were, in fact, born female?

It has been the most interesting year of my life, the whole story is in a few of my previous posts, but this year I experienced a life changing event when I found out that I am an intersex person, actually a woman! I knew when I was a young child, that I was supposed to be a girl, I used to pray each night that I could wake up as a girl. And now, I find out that all those feelings were true, I have always been, a woman!

If, I had known then what I do now, what would have been different? I was, and still am, an artist. I would have pursued that career and developed into a well known artist, whereas I was channeled into the hospitality industry by family members who viewed art as being frivolous and having no valuable future.

Hugs girls, big hugs, and Happy New Year!

If I had been born a girl, I would be able to wear my favorite outfits all the time.

I'm not sure if i would have made the same choices, 

I'm not sure if I would have been a wife and mother either, all i know is my wife went through a hell of a lot having 3 children and looking after the home and the 4 of us, I suppose i would have had some sort of career and not worked in a factory, maybe an agony aunt for a magazine, I'm very good at listening, or maybe a model trying all the latest fashion's on,

It's a lot to consider what life would be like if i had been born a woman,

This is an excellent topic and thought-provoking.  In my younger years, I actually often did think how would things have turned out had I been born a girl?

Looking back now, in my more senior years, I do believe I would have still pursued a technical career path and most likely have become one of the few female engineer trail blazers in the 1960s and 70s.  Despite a technical career, I know I would have maintained an interest in femininity, especially when not working.  Mini-skirts, high-heels, and makeup would still play an important part of my life, as well as wearing a skimpy bikini in the summer time. 

I would probably enjoy traveling as part of my job, rather than settling down raising a family.  However, as a woman, I could see myself being romanced by some guy. 

I believe I would have enjoyed being a career woman, perhaps rising to a management level eventually.
