If technology allowed for convenient seamless total genetic sex changes, would you change your gender?

homo_homini_lupus · 2014-10-24T15:57:10+00:00

I dont understand why this is a question. Who but a tiny minority wants to change their sex?

I think the World is very lucky I'm not a man

AFormidableContender · 2014-10-24T20:29:42+00:00

Could be interesting to see how people reacted to me.

But I've already grown up with society treating me as a woman. So I wouldn't truly be experiencing life as a man. The biological change would not erase societal influences on my mental and psychological development.

throwawayjapanese · 2014-10-24T18:54:40+00:00

As a 30+ female who isn't that attractive, I would love to be measured by my accomplishments rather than my facial proportions, so yes.

cuittler · 2014-10-24T17:21:42+00:00

Hell yes, I'd switch back and forth every few months or years if it was cheap and had no side affects.

GridReXX · 2014-10-24T18:18:09+00:00

No.

Like maybe for a day so I could see what the big deal was about getting my dick sucked.

And I would like to test the limits of my athleticism.

After a month of BJs and XFit I think I'd be craving a dress and heels.

Wolfsouls · 2014-10-24T19:51:21+00:00

I'd definitely be a man. I'm already tall so I wouldn't have to worry about losing out in the genetic lottery, and I would love to be respected in the way that only men seem to be able to achieve. I could be intimidating, forward, and assertive and other people would respond to that. I wouldn't fear being in public as much, because men aren't valued by their appearance and I would also have the physical strength to protect myself. Also having a giant clit sounds amazing.

The only thing holding me back would be my desire to get pregnant and give birth one day. Being a mother seems much more meaningful from my perspective.

AFormidableContender · 2014-10-24T18:29:50+00:00

I'd become a girl so I could get paid a grand a week to masturbate.

fiat_lux_ · 2014-10-24T17:33:14+00:00

If the process is fully reversible without side effects, affordable, 100% safe, then I'd be open to trying out going around in a woman's body.

MissPearl · 2014-10-24T19:58:32+00:00

Female, and I'd have a lot of fun swapping into male me and back out again if it wasn't an involved or dangerous process I could reverse.

I'm a feminist fruitcake, so I think TRP would not share the same room with me unless I brought cookies.

As for why I'd swap off... Well, as much as I like flirting with my own gender I'm mostly straight, so it would be the ultimate masturbatory act. I'd get to make believe being an idealized version of the masculinity I usually only express in RPGs or my cheesy self indulgent fiction.

The upper body strength would be kinda cool. I think it would be fun to see what a penis is like and have a male orgasm. I don't think I'd stay that way because my Gentleman is so straight you could use him to test rulers and I'm rather attached to him.

Also I've had a lifetime to adjust to a female body and I think this one is kinda nice. It took me a while to learn how to dress it properly and it would be a PITA to learn a whole new set of grooming skills and body language. Since a lot of my hobbies have been shaped by people's perception of my lady body, I'd probably be a really girly man if I got stuck that way.

TL;DR Only short term, to wank.

Bakerofpie · 2014-10-24T23:05:43+00:00

I would like to be a man just long enough to fuck a girl once and then change back. Strapons are a gigantic turn off for me.

buartha · 2014-10-24T16:48:35+00:00

I'm a man, BP, and would stick with being a man, partially because as a scientist who wants to go into research there's a slightly condescending attitude about women that's yet to die out in the field, and because the idea of periods and childbirth don't appeal to me in the slightest.

Also, assuming that we'd be living the same lives but gender switched, I wouldn't want to risk losing my partner; he is bi, but he has a general preference for men and it would be a pity to risk throwing away a good thing.

Those_Who_Remain · 2014-10-24T16:27:59+00:00

Male, no, Pretty much entirely Blue Pill. I wouldn't change because I can't help but feel it would also change my personality somehow.

I'm a relatively feminine male and I feel just fine about that.

babyguineapig · 2014-10-25T07:45:15+00:00

I have cross dressed and spent time as a man. I found the default of respect very liberating. I am also a published author under a male nom de plume, after multiple rejections under my given name. Being a "man" opened up a lot of doors for me.

My current place in life is that of a mother though, and cross dressing is much harder to pull off as you get older, so I doubt I'll be going back there.

I'm not into permanent physical changes. Even easy stuff like tattoos or piercings. So no, I wouldn't have a sex change.

BubbleEngineer · 2014-10-24T16:04:24+00:00

No. I love feminine women and all, but I quite enjoy being a masculine man.

michellechan2211 · 2014-10-24T17:52:32+00:00

Hm. It would be interesting to be a male and like some people, I'd probably oscillate between the genders. Blue Pill.

TheThingsIThink · 2014-10-24T18:08:37+00:00

No. I can't imagine being a woman without a lifetime of being a girl and teen first.

wertie · 2014-10-24T18:18:48+00:00

I see no reason to change my gender. I'm happy with who I am.

ThirdUnderstudy · 2014-10-25T05:57:57+00:00

RP man: I couldn't be a straight woman because I find men repulsive. I think lesbians have at least as much trouble getting laid as straight men, and I'd miss what I consider actual sex. Being in a woman's body and spending a weekend in bed playing with it sounds like fun, but I don't think I'd want to stay that way.

AFormidableContender · 2014-10-25T19:27:15+00:00

Abso-fucking-lutely.

You have to be a lunatic to voluntarily choose to be a man if you had the actual option to be a woman. Even an average woman.

I personally think I'd make a WICKED woman, and when I tell my female friends this, they of course give me "blah blah blah, because you're not a woman....blah blah life is hard getting judged on your appearance blah".

FrankFacts · 2014-10-25T23:49:53+00:00

You say RP men should stop complaining if they really would rather be a man. I don't think pointing out differences is complaining. Also, just because something is easier doesn't mean you'd rather do that easier thing.

Steakin · 2014-10-26T04:32:37+00:00

If I could be a woman, I'd change in a heartbeat, and that's as a straight male.

Society's built to be a lot easier on women than men as far as social interactions go, I think. Also, they're more likely to get entry level jobs like waitress and hostess, especially if they're good looking. I suppose I'd have to ask how attractive I'd be, too. And whether or not I was born in a first world country.

I changed my mind. I'll stay male. (By the by, I'm neutral to RP BP.)

sh1v · 2014-10-26T04:52:30+00:00

Most people like their gender not because of the perks and privileges attached, but because it's a core part of their identity and how they view themselves. You can't just rewire yourself, but even if the operation did that, then going through with it is a kind of suicide as it erases who you were previously.

Your argument is invalid.

adrixshadow · 2014-10-26T09:06:27+00:00

I have no reason to.

But if I was puffed into a woman one day I wouldn't mind.

I can make myself happy either way since I have a good idea on what women are about.

chazzALB · 2014-10-26T14:15:23+00:00

Male purple pill.

I would only change if I could be more attractive as a woman than as a man.

Edit: otherwise life would suck either way.

Y_Ddraig · 2014-10-26T16:21:40+00:00

I'm male, and I would say I'm reddish. I love being a man, and I identify with traditional roles. One reason I dislike most modern feminism is because I have always wanted to protect my friends and family, to provide for a kind feminine woman, and be emotionally and physically strong for those around me. I know women and men both have advantages and disadvantages, but I am proud to shoulder the responsibilities I feel I have as a man. My attempts achieve these goals are often met with derision however.

FullRedvolution · 2014-10-26T17:25:49+00:00

I'd definitely want to try out being a girl since I'd be a skinny blonde girl probably with big tits, which is basically like playing life on "retard mode." But in the end I'd probably stick with being a man, I just feel like I could accomplish more that way.

[deleted] · 2014-10-29T10:04:30+00:00

I would try it out for fun. Also, I would live longer and that is tempting. Especially in our family men die around 65, women don't.

But, no. My work would be harder. And I am just used to this body just fine. And I don't need periods.

shaymos · 2014-11-25T04:00:17+00:00

id love to be a woman. but i dont want to look like myself (similar features)

5th_Law_of_Robotics · 2014-10-25T13:39:49+00:00

In such a worlds it'd be hilarious to watch all the femsplaining "being a man is nothing but privilege" types shift to being men then immediately changing back after they realized life isn't so great on the other side.

Reginleifer · 2014-10-24T15:39:20+00:00

if technology allowed sex changes at the genetic level.

I'm not a tumblerina, but having gone into the field of Biology this statement has left me pretty triggered. -.- I'm stumped at what technology could be used to change an adult human (assuming you're not a degenerate advocating for child use), into the opposite gender at the GENETIC LEVEL. Jesus Christ we can't even do gene therapy right yet and you fools want to risk everything just to play make believe?

Reddish orientiatated

I'd stick to being a dude, I'm content as a dude and I happen to think that even my bad experiences helped me get where I am today and helped me be the person I became.

Edited: Originally wrote something trying to piss off as much people as possible. But I thought better of it.

taiboworks · 2014-10-24T15:48:12+00:00

Absolutely not. I am entirely happy being a man, even if that comes with some extra load.
