If I Were A Different Gender

I identify myself as male gender. In today’s era, there is just not two gender identities which is male and female. There are many types of gender identities other than male and female, like transgender, gender neutral, non-binary, third gender, etc. as the list can keep growing with the people learning more about themselves and experiencing as well as experimenting on oneself. I come from a family where it was just me and my father with a male gender and the rest of the family members are females. If I were a different gender, the way my life is right now would have been completely different. I mean this in a positive way. As a male character, I find myself less caring towards stuffs that I should be concerned of whether it is about dealing with my social life or keeping track of my schedule. Being around females like my mother and rest of my cousins and siblings, I feel that female has a very strong personality and the way they handle things amazes me like doing all the chores, keeping track of almost everything, making sure that things are done on time, and giving equal time to the family at the same time. As a female, I would also probably be able to cope with my stress and problems easily and differently. We male tend to be aggressive and less calm when we are in trouble or stress, so as a female I would be able to tackle them nicely and calmly. The care, love and affection that a female can provide is so pure and warm that cannot be compared with the male. So as a female, I would be able to express my feelings and share more happiness. Female in general is very strong though the physical strength of male is considered to be manly or strong. She carries a living baby in her fetus for 9 months and brings a new life to the world. Just even the thought of the pain she has to go through gives me chills. As a female, I would be able to experience it. As a male gender, I don’t really know what and how much of a struggle female has to go through regarding so many things. I would know only if I were a female. Also, what if I were a different gender like transgender or gender neutral or any other gender but male. I feel like it is so important to realize your gender and know yourself. Because being able to identify one’s gender has a lot to do with self-love, happiness, no suicidal thoughts, no depression and no psychological or mental health issues. If I were of any other gender, being the way, I was raised and the family background, I believe I would still enjoy my life to the fullest and my family would accept me for my gender identity. I would build up self confidence and be proud of my gender and not let other people’s opinion affect the way I feel about myself. I would try to find people with similar gender identities and help the ones who are scared and confused on how to handle the situation. I have some of my friends who are gay, and I feel no discomfort being around them. Rather I try to make sure that I behave to them in an appropriate way and not hurt their identity. If I were a different gender, I would be expecting similar love, care and acceptance from the people and be open and welcoming to me. If I were any other different gender than male, I would still be happy though there is a difference in my way of approaching things, but I will still intend to keep everyone happy and not hurt anyone. I have seen how female can be so strong so I would be prouder to be a female. As another gender too, I would gladly accept my body and feel comfortable in my skin and embrace it without any hesitation. As a male, I feel I am strong, bold and fearless, but I also think that every gender identity has their unique abilities and unique strength to cope with the life. Due to these many reasons, I think it would be fun experience being a different gender than I am right now, and It would be easier to know the prespectives of the female gender.
