So I am really jealous of the life women have, at least in the western world: They get all the social benefits, have it easy to get into a relationship and the physical disadvantages don't matter that much now.
So I would like to ask: Would you have preferred being born as a woman instead of a man? But no cheating: Your Y chromosome gets replaced by your father's X chromosome, all other genes do not change. So you don't suddenly get hot or anything. Also, you are just born as a woman, so you are a completely normal woman who is fertile (with high probability) etc. and have hormones typical for women (except if you e.g. have way too much test, then you also will have too much as a woman, but it will still be less). It also means you are heterosexual, so you will have to have sex with men, but you will be attracted to them (but less than you are attracted to women now,, just as it's typical for women). As you are born as a woman you obviously don't have any problems being trans would have (e.g. being still perceived as a man, having defunct genitals, being even more strongly discriminated against etc.)
If you live in a society where women are discriminated against, you will be discriminated against. If you live in a society where women get all benefits, you will get all benefits etc.
Of course it's hard to imagine how your life would have been had you been born completely differently. For example, if I had the exact same interests as a woman things would likely have been great. But I imagine that I would also have different interests as my brain would be structured differently, but probably would still go in the same direction as it goes now.
So: What would have been different in your life? What would have been better, what would have been worse?
