Well, a BIG difference is that both men and women are PEOPLE...and the odds of someone identifying with being something of a different species is slim.
I suppose it's possible though, but still, a big difference. Hell, why not ask what's the difference between wanting to be a woman and wanting to be a microwave?
The sheer stupidity of your question cannot be answered, but I felt the need to say something.
It's a shame people can't accept that while they don't personally feel something themselves, it is POSSIBLE. Some people are born the wrong gender. That's just how it is. It's happened all throughout history, and it's treated very differently in other parts of the world. It's understood, accepted, and sometimes even admired.
In India, I learned that some of the most powerful gods MUST be bi-gendered. (PS - that's what I am. Both. Wrap your mind around that one) Only a bi-gendered being can truly understand both genders and all aspects of it...they are looked at with admiration and curiosity. I had several people follow me on the streets and ask me questions, because they could tell that while I am a woman walking down the street, I am also a man - they knew by my walk and general appearance.
They acknowledge it, recognize it, and at the very least, see an opportunity to learn about someone new.
Shame our society (I'm Canadian) hates anything different, or even denies the possibility of it being true. Variety is what makes this world wonderful. I hope you learn someday.
