Poll: Yet Another Sex Change Scenario

[The Event]

This one is inspired by the latest sex change poll and the gay experience thread.

There's a new illness sweeping the planet - Spontaneous Sex Change Syndrome. You can probably guess the symptoms from its name. There's no cure and it's irreversible.

You and your partner wake up one morning to discover that you have both become victims overnight. You have both become fully functional members of the opposite sex. Your personality, gender identity and sexual preference haven't changed though.

So will you try to stay together as a couple and deal with your changes together or will you split up?



Edit to answer Eevee's question.

 

[EeveeElectro]

Does it affect personality? If not, I can get on board with that. I'd stay with him, it would be quite fun actually. We're still the same people, just with different bits and bobs now.

Not sure about my boyfriend. Hopefully I'll be a pretty hot guy and he might fancy a bit of man love.

 

[Sehnsucht Engel]

Probably not. It kind of defeats one of the reasons I would be curious about changing sex in the first place. I suppose if it was like my wife I would, but I'm not married. (I'm also against marriage. >_>)

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

I would at least try. If it's a decent relationship it's worth trying, I could probably swing the other way if push came to shove, stimulation's stimulation, right?

 

[DANEgerous]

Again i is for ME as for them as my current date is a male no I would not care if they had been female I may not care or I may not care quite a bit. But yeah... no desire to be a woman, ever. No offense ladies.

(Note: I am a male and Bi but overall most enjoy the female anatomy)

 

[spartandude]

honestly the only difference i see between men and women is which hole to use, and ofcourse pregnancy and such but if i was with someone who wanted a sexchange who am i to say no

 

[Knight Captain Kerr]

Yeah, I'd want to stay together afterwards. Not sure if they'd want to or not.

So me and me became women, if I didn't stay together would I rip myself in half?
Guess I'll stay together just so I don't die horribly by splitting into two bloody pieces on the floor.

Well, if you are your own partner then that might be how it works.
But if you are your own partner you probably have other problems to deal with in addition to the sex change.

Bisexual ladyboy planning to get the op within a year or two, so answer is self-explainatory. And with a possible open relationship things will be similar. Huge bonus in being able to bear children, and not needing to get scary surgery.

 

[loc978]

Thankfully, I don't do partners. If I were... "with"... someone (I've agreed to such a thing once or twice) at the time of my womanization, I'd be frank about my complete lack of attraction to men and go off to figure out how to be a lesbian.

 

[Hoplon]

If my brain structures haven't changed then neither will my orientation. So no, since I don't dig dudes what so ever.

 

[Starik20X6]

Yeah I'd stick with her. After all, she'd be just as confused and scared by it all as I would be... But we'd make it work.

 

[CellShaded]

I don't think my girlfriend would be a straight guy. I believe that answers your question.

 

[Dangit2019]

Well then, I guess that means I'm getting paid less, but we're both still of the opposite sex, and we're both equally affected, so I don't see how it would affect our relationship too much.

 

[JediMB]

Err... that depends on what I'm attracted to post-change.

If I retain my gynosexuality, it would be kind of hard to stay with someone in a male body.

Moot point without a partner, though.

 

[Ren_Li]

...Erm. If their gender identity remained the same, wouldn't they attempt medical transition back to their identified gender? In which case, the only reason to break up would probably be the stress of the entire situation. A man who's body was randomly changed to female would still be a man, and he'd do what was medically possible to transition back.

In my case... My fiance is somewhat gender neutral (although he sticks to male terminology because it's easier) and very androgynous. And I am bisexual with a preference for women. I can't see how him going from a gender-neutral androgynous person with male genitalia to a gender-neutral androgynous person with female genitalia would change much.

Anyway, how would this hypothetical illness effect people who are undergoing or have undergone gender realignment? Would it turn them back into their birth gender and undo the effects of hormone treatment and surgeries, or would it transition them to their identified gender (thus doing them an immense favour)?

 

[doggy go 7]

I'm not at all attracted to guys (on the plus side, less people to be rejected by), so I'd fuck her/him once, just to see what it's like, then go find ladyfolk who also like ladyfolk (although, if the disease is sweeping the planet, some of those ladies will have been men. I'd be fine having sex with them, but I fear we may pause to high-five half way through)

I'm just forever alone so I'm the only person who hangs out with me so I guess that's how I had to answer the question.

 

[s0p0g]

I'm also against marriage. >_>

that's really interesting! would you care to tell why? i mean, many are for marriage, many are indifferent towards it (as in they don't want to marry, but are not against marriage per se), but *against* is rather rare;at least i haven't really heard about that before

You and your partner wake up one morning to discover that you have both become victims overnight. You have both become fully functional members of the opposite sex. Your personality, gender identity and sexual preference haven't changed though.

wow, that's a toughy. i guess i'd want to stay together, but as my wife had the wrong body then... i don't know, maybe we could work it out, but it sounds like i'd have to go for lesbians/bi then... who had the wrong body for themselves before (that's - before swapping: sex male, sexual orientation lesbian/bi, gender identity female, correct? i'll never get that sorted out properly xD )
or of course a non-swapped lesbian/bi

it would also heavily depend on how my wife would cope with the new situation; although if it's a more less common or at least known phenomenon it maybe wouldn't have the impact of a nuke, just a good ol' mortar, so maybe a couple therapy might just work

...this is indeed rather confusing xD
