I can sympathize with you. I am and always have been female through and through but it must be very difficult for you.\nI would love to hear sometime what is feels like to be in a male body yet feel like a female. It is hard to imagine.\nIs it just a craving to wear woman's clothes and makeup?\nI just have no frame of reference, since it was always my body, changing, cycling, having hips and boobs, and my love of flowers, colors, furnishings, men, and animals, that made me think like a woman.\nI wonder if it isn't just a desire to be seductive the way a woman is that is the appeal of it.

After reading some of the answers, there needs to be a bit of clarification.  Some men want to be, or inside feel like they were supposed to be, women--these are the transgenders or transsexuals.  They are in the process of transitioning.  In that process, they take hormones and possibly operations to give them feminine features.  Not all transsexuals make the complete change, removing their 'outboard motor' and having an 'inboard motor' installed.  Then too there are homosexuals (and not all transsexuals think of themselves as homosexuals), who not only want the feminine position in their relationships, but add a pair of embellishments that makes the matter a little confusing.  Commonly, the "shemale" is happy to have the female parts and persona while keeping the "outboard motor".  Not all who look like shemales are.

I've often wondered what it'd be like to be a man, but I don't want to be one...However, if I could just try it for 1 single day, I would....yet, I'd still want to be a female...I'm happy being a female. :)

Nothing, it is an advantage as long as what you are seeking is someone who thinks young but is an old girl.

Neither one is more superior than the other.  Each sex thinks different and are capable of different things.  We depend on each other to reproduce and to have an emotional bond.

It's more acceptable for women cause it's more aestetically pleasing on them, but it's still a good question.  I for one think there are a lotta women out there who have forgotten what being feminine is all about.  They try to BE men to get ahead.  But what they don't understand is that they have different strengths as women, and should draw off of that.

Either gender can increase in beauty and personality,.... or can turn into a scraggy old thing.\n\nResults vary and depends on many things, starting with genetics, health, life experiences, lifestyle / habits,.................

I heard it was the other way around. In some places in China men outnumber women by quite a lot. The only men who get sex changes were most likely born feeling like women. I don't think the number of men or women have anything to do with why people get sex changes.

Two factors I can think of.\n1) Male mystique.  Male have an attitude and mentality that they are superior than female.  Male have to show they are not weak and feminine.\n2) Female live longer because they are more resilient.  Their genetic makeup are better than male right from the start in their mother's womb (female have two X's chromosomes XX vs male's XY).

You are naturally one sex or another, but your gender identification can vary.

Female ... pretty good at both ... probably better at English/humanities .... testing the "males are better at math, females better at the arts" theory?
