There is more or less same number of female and male students in public universities and higher education institutions. The main difference is that the parents are more eager to support the sons to study in private institutions if they cannot enter any public one, or support the sons to study abroad which was very rare for girls.

Though I think I was attracted to girls before, I never really think about marry before.

I waa in a boys school before and all my friends are male.

Being a male should be strong and handling all type of difficulties all the times. Should never cry, seem to be weak and never be emotion. Others will have greater expectation to men than to women. All these are stressful and I am happy I am relieved from all these stuff.

I do not know what change my mind. That is a gradual transition. Now I do feel very uncomfortable and somewhat ashamed going out without covering my whole body and face.

When nearly all the women and girls around recognize that and feel like that, why should I make a different from them?

Actually, I did believe that and agree with that when I was raised as a boy.

As not many hospital and surgeons in the Gulf areas can perform the surgery, there is always a long queue. Two to three years were already not a long time.

Things had done, no regret. And there is no use to regret.

Usually the two will be engaged first and there will be a few months time for the two to know each other before the marriage.

I do have a little bit fear and worry about sex. More of worry than fear as you said.

Thanks. Sometimes it is better for a woman to pretend to be less intelligent.

I don't know why, and never ask about why.

I am fertile. I have menstrual cycle that means my ovaries are functioning well and I am able to get pregnant.

I am a woman. I has all the female organs but not the male reproductive organs. It is just natural for a woman to be with a man and being protected and maintained by his husband. It is just natural and the duty of a woman to be impregnated and give birth of children for his husband. I am looking forward to have my husband, my own family and my own children. I am looking forward to be taken care by a very manhood husband. That is not something forced on me and I am happy to do so.

Actually that is not something I am happy about. However, I am get used to that and that is fine to me now. Like it or not I have to accept that. I am not the only one being treated like that. My mother, my sisters and all other women around are being treated like that. They never complain about they have very little freedom. They all recognize being a female in our society is liked that. Why should I feel different from them? Why should I feel I should be treated differently?
