The excitement that you were feeling about a special, unique path for yourself as a woman is all part of your identification with and attachment to being female. And that's ultimately all ego.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I even felt like I liked guys better than women - that men were relevant and women weren't. It took me a while to realize I'd been socialized to have a slighting view of my own gender.
If I had been more self-conscious about being a woman, it would have stifled me.
I always felt like the male from the time I was a child. There wasn't much feminine about me.
I'm very proud to be a woman - you're part of a tribe. Automatically, you feel connected to another woman when you meet them. That's really special.
I've never found it made the slightest difference being a woman - though there is a sort of feeling that as you get older you're not so interesting.
As a woman, we all want to feel attractive. We all want to feel that we're making the very best of ourselves so we can accept ourselves.
Most men are very attached to the idea of being male, and usually experience a lot of fear and insecurity around the idea of being a man. Most women are very identified with their gender, and also experience a tremendous amount of fear and insecurity.
Not only am I physically and emotionally attracted to women, I also wonder what being a woman would be like.
In my career I have never felt that my being a woman was an obstacle or an advantage. I guess I've been oblivious.
One of the best things that ever happened to me is that I'm a woman. That is the way all females should feel.
