Poll: If You Could Switch Your Sex/Gender...

[Xan Krieger]

As a forever alone guy I'd love to, I'd probably be my own girlfriend for just one week and then it's back to being alone forever.

 

[MammothBlade]

I'll try anything once. And what would be more amazing than seeing things from the perspective of the opposite sex, although I don't know how my personality would change with female hormones and brain structure. Who knows... Whether or not I'd change permanently depends on how I feel at the end of the week, as short a time as that may be for making such a decision.

 

[Wyvern65]

Interesting thread topic and discussion.

Yes, because it's a new experience, and why not? A new perspective never hurts. Plus women have /way/ more clothing choices.

The pill to change back, yeah, that's a definite. I enjoy being who I am.

It is possible though to be homosexual and transgender. For example, if you were MtF transgender and were attracted to other women.

That pretty much describes me right there. MtF, into girls, all that jazz. I get hit on both both sexes though, so that is... that's a thing.

 

[HippySteve]

Absolutely, should be interesting. I appreciate being a woman but I'd like things from a mans perspective and to see what they talk about away from women.

If I could experience it emotionally that'd be good too because the thought process of some men completely baffle me..

EDIT: the week pill. I enjoy being a laaaydee.

I can tell you what we talk about. Sports, women, video games, jobs, opinions and crude jokes.

And depending on who you are, nerd stuff. Books, comics, etc.

And if you are like me and my friends, you talk about ponies too. =P

I'm transgendered, so I'm kinda doing that already. I wish it was both that simple and that advanced though. What we have right now I'll admit is rather crude, especially if you transition later in life.

Ditto! The later in life the less the HRT drugs have on you..and that SUCKS!

That must feel good for you though right? Knowing that other guys find you attractive? I mean from a transitioning standpoint. Hope I'm not offending you.

It's good to know sure, but it can get annoying at times. And the only part I'd find offensive there is the insinuation that I'm a guy with that phrase "other guys". I don't look like one and kinda never did. If you want photo evidence, I've got some right here:

Spoiler

That'd be me, WITHOUT any sort of makeup or hormone therapy. That pic is a few months old, as I am a bit camera-shy.

Hey Melanie. How are you?

 

[Amethyst Wind]

just whatever you do, don't experiment getting hit in the balls.

It is NOT worth it.

I have a feeling there is going to be a LOT of disappointment from either end of the trade.

Actually that might be a good perspective experiment. Get hit in the balls once so that when you change back and YOU kick a guy in the balls who is being a tool to you, you understand just how much damage you're doing. Maybe give you a little more satisfaction. Hehe.

You could compare it to the pain of being punched in the ovaries area. I hear that hurts more than a little.

I'd most likely take the pill. Why not? If nothing else you could commit some crimes on the last day and easily get away with them.

Captcha: stony-hearted. Not quite, I just don't pump the same juice as everybody else.

Not to offend, but you're giving me a headache... so complicated, hahahahah.

If you don't mind me asking, how so?

Exactly how is it complicated?

She was a guy. She is now a girl. She is attracted to girls. That makes her a MtF transgender lesbian.

She just happens to be hit on by guys too.

 

[Miyenne]

I'd try being a guy. I'd have to experience it for a while to know if I'd want to stay as one, though.

I don't think I'm that different from a guy, though. I identify as female and primarily like men, but I've always been a tomboy. Played a lot of sports and video games, was never really one for girly things. Give me Die Hard over any "romcom". I don't do much makeup or dress up, putting on a suit for any occasion and being good to go would be great, rather than having 12 different outfits for different kinds of occasions.

That and I'll be vulgar like everyone else. Would be interesting to see how it feels for a guy to orgasm. Or to orgasm at all. I hate being one of those unlucky women.

If I were to become a guy I don't think my life would change much at all, though. No periods would be kinda great. No more wearing ill fitting uncomfortable bras that pinch and tug or sag because my weight fluctuates so much.

Sounds kinda good, actually.

Believe me, our orgasms are nothing special. It literally lasts two seconds, and then you're done.

Honestly, if I were a woman for a week, that would be one thing I'd want to experience is having a multiple orgasm, because I heard they are amazing. Forget having another guy do it. I'd just use a vibrator or dildo until something happened. =P

 

[Wraith]

I'd take the week one, probably use it to see the perspective of a woman, see if being the only girl in a house full of brothers would change my outlook on life.

Then I'd take it again to masturbate all over the place and have lesbian sex with my girlfriend. Oh, yeah.

 

[HellbirdIV]

I kind of think you need more than a single week to figure out which one you like more. I mean hell, a week? I can't even figure out which flavor of Mentos I like the most in a week!

 

[BaronUberstein]

Not entirely sure. But I figure I could try it and see how it is.

 

[MysticSlayer]

My greatest concern would be the fact that changing genders would incredibly awkward for everyone who knows you. Having seen how my mom's family and a friend's family dealt with it when one of their members had a sex change, I'm not sure I could take that kind of derision and resentment from my friends and family.

If those consequences never arise, I'd probably at least do it for a week. Just to see what it was like. I'd decide at the end whether or not to keep it permanent.
