Poll: Would you Change your Gender/Sex?

[Aisaku]

If this deus-ex-machina retconning yourself into the other sex was possible, how long it would take for a person to get used to that new status quo to the point it becomes just as traumatic to go back to the old self as it was to change in the first place?

Also to what extent does biology and upbringing make a person? I mean if only a person's body was changed, then you'd be likely landing in a man in a woman's body situation and viceversa. And yet even worse one can argue that if you changed both a person's biology and upbringing (so as to have been born in said sex) you would have basically overwritten him or her, leaving little to nothing of the original self.

Just some thoughts.

Hah, if I could change back/forth at will, fuck yeah; if nothing would make for a great spying tool, assuming I didn't look exactly the same after change. Interesting to see what it's like.

But I suspect (with exceptions): the grass is always greener on the other side of the hedge.
(Aimed more at those who don't desperately want surgery.)

As for permanance? Not a chance; I like my beard too much

 

[Bara_no_Hime]

If i was given this chance i would take it

So long as I could control when I switch genders, yes. None of that hot and cold water that Ranma has to put up with. Sounds like good fun to me.

Without the hormone treatment and surgery? Yes, without a moment's hesitation. And I would stay that way.

 

[superbatranger]

I don't think I would change my gender permanently. Temporarily? Maybe for a short while.

 

[Ice Car]

For a short time, maybe. Not permanently, of course.

 

[Mittens The Kitten]

No thanks. Being a male has no down sides. So why would I want to handicap myself?

It sounds sexist, but this. Guys have better blood circulation, more efficient digestion, greater muscle mass, and stronger immune systems, and receive preferential treatment from almost every institution ever. It's not that guys are better; it's just that being a guy is easier.

Lifespan?

 

[g_hughes]

Much as it sounds stereotypical, girls have prettier clothes than guys.
Having said that, I wouldn't want to be one for anything more than three weeks.

Plus, my boyfriend might have something to say about me suddenly being sans-penis...

 

[Fwee]

I'd probably make an ugly woman, but I'd do it with no hesitation.

 

[[.redacted]]

Touchy subject, I'm still thinking about this...

Normally, I would say no - but I realise that some of the people and (more importantly) concepts I love are female.

But, the problem is, I don't love them, nor do I lust for them - it is more a sort of admiration.

And if I admire them so much, it would make sense for me to strive to be them, which would involve a change of sex.

But...

For a week maybe personally I would rather live 80 years as a guy (as i am now) then get reborn and live as a female for another 80 years, 160 years of life is far more than most will get

Suddenly there'd be a lot of lesbians in this world having huge orgies.

Oh, recovery. Oh my, I at first chortled at this statement and then just started laughing. I imagined the emphasis being on "huge" and a mental image pooped up of people just suddenly dropping what they're doing and heading in the same direction to an undisclosed destination, where there are literally hundreds of women in a pile. It is the most debasing image.

Anyway, back OT: I'd definitely do it temporarily. I think that's what makes women so fascinating - they have different parts. It's exactly like someone having a different toy or car than you have. You're sitting there, playing with your Hasbro Batman figure when some kid comes around with a fucking Transformer! Dude! You turn it into a truck, then back to a mech, you figure out where his weapons are stored when it's in "truck mode", you figure out which hands are supposed to hold which weapon, do the truck's wheels actually rotate, etc.

I would be touching everything.
I would balance on a straight-bar and see if my center of gravity changed.
I'd go for a run and recognize the usefulness of sports bras and spandex.
I'd be a total cock tease.
I'd go through "that time of the month" to have a first hand experience of the whole situation.
I'd get up an hour and a half early every day just to do make-up for society's benefit while I grumble under my breath at the unfairness of it all.
The next day I'd get up and put whatever I had around me on, sans make-up, and head out the door just to see what would happen.

I haven't even begun to nudge the door, there's so much shit to experience. If you were the opposite sex for a day, you'd just sit there and bang yourself then go "eh, that's it, I'm done"? What?!

That's almost exactly the type of idea i was trying to get you to think... WE HAVE TO GO DEEPER! Pun and Inception reference intended.

And yes. That's exactly what you'd do. And as i said earlier in the thread the orgasm would shake your world i believe. Imagine how turned on you'd be. Not that i don't masturbate whilst looking at myself in the mirror already, but if i was a hot chick... Oh boy.
