Poll: Would you Change your Gender/Sex?

[Sccye]

Although a lot of people are alluding to the sex-as-biology / gender-as-social-construct divide that gets reproduced in most social science classes, there's still a lot more complexity in there even than that.

This is an excellent article by a trans man that gives a sketch of some of the issues:

I also find it very, very interesting how willing the men are to admit that they have it easier than women. Usually, when questioned about equality most people would say that things in the West are there already.

Crossdressing for a costume and going all out with it is as far as I'm going to go in terms of what you are asking.
Relative to the plans that I have for the future, changing my sex would be a waste of time even if it was for a short while. Not only that but it would confuse not just me but also my parents.

Now that isn't to say I haven't fantasized what I'd be like if I was a girl. It's actually kind of fun and a worthwhile fantasy to think about.

Hell yes... if it was a "taster" tryout anyway.

Just to see what its like... who knows. Might like it more. Don't know until you try. Plus, so many questions would be answered.
That goes for gender as well as sex. Find out just how much influence it may have on my behaviour. I don't consider myself that far off the middle of the kinsey scale but I definitely have a lean one way more than the other. Quite how much may require inverting the mindset and seeing just how odd I then act.
Besides, being absolutely the same self in the opposite body would get wierd, fast. Change one, then the other, then change the first back, then revert entirely. Try it all ways round.

Also: ENORMOUS perversion potential.

Girls have insanely awesome orgasms. Just saying.

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

I don't really think the gender thing would be a big deal. If you look at how girls and boys actually act compared to each other nowadays, they're a lot more interchangeable than they used to be.

 

[Voodoomancer]

If I could change at will (like half the people in this thread), reasons obvious.

 

[Kasper Gundersen]

I wouldn't mind being a girl for a few hours I guess... It could be an interesting experience

Ah, and you know that because you´ve had both sexes and compared them!

By the way, could you tell me how to change my sex sometime? That´d be cool. Thanks!

OT: Temporarily, yes. Permanently? NO. NO. NO. Being a woman seems to suck.

No being a guy rocks, I wouldn't change places.

Erm. From personal experience, female orgasms not only last longer but are waaaay more powerful. A proper one can shake and pulsate through their entire body for up to a minute and still have quivering effects 5 minutes afterwards. When a girl orgasms she completely looses control of herself and gives in to the euphoric rush.

On your profile page it says you were born in '98 so i don't expect you to know this, but if you ever do have sex and, shall we say, perform, you would know what i was talking about.

Also, hail, fellow viking!

 

[Giuglea]

i`d like to be a woman for a while..just to check out whose freaky woman orgasms


and free booze

 

[Koroviev]

If I could switch back and forth at will, then sure. Otherwise, I'm too mercurial to decide on anything permanent. I'd either regret it or constantly worry about regretting it. Oh the joys of being fickle.

Hm. Well i suppose you´re correct. Can´t really question you. Yet. Like a wise man once said: "Virginity is not a virtue, it is merely a lack of oppurtunity"

Kind of feels like you´re bragging here, though.

(Also, since you mentioned my age, did you notice i joined in 2009? Ha! Like some stupid age check would stop me then! Though i an 13 now mods, so you can´t ban me. Muhahahah!)

 

[CATB320]

Like most people have said, I'd do it for a short time out of curiosity. Being a girl isn't really that bad -- the whole childbirth thing sucks but I enjoy looking pretty.

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

I don't see why not. If only for a short while.

Being a girl who doesn't like sex strikes me as being a lot easier. You'd get a lot more of the whole "well you just haven't found the right person yet" crap, sure, but SIGNIFICANTLY less "OMG SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG WITH YOU".

Plus I could get away with so much more cantankerous behaviour.

 

[Arafiro]

Hypothetically, I suppose it would be interesting to be a girl for a short time, but only out of curiosity. In actual terms, I was born a guy, so I am a guy.. and that's it, and no problem.

 

[Blackmagic1515]

While I am now comfortable with being a girl, yes I would change and become a male if given the chance. No periods, mens clothes are cooler, it would make cosplaying much easier. Plus I've always wondered what sex would be like from the other side.

So, basically, yes I would do it.

 

[boosh-boosh]

I felt i had to say no, because i identify as gender fluid.
i mean, what would that change to if my gender were to change? transgendered or cisgendered or belonging to a third category of genderless (fourth if we include gender queer/ gender fluid as the third gender label)?
or if it's my sex that would change... i'm unsure as to whether that would influence my psychological gender at all, but i suppose it'd be interesting to find out.
hmm.

 

[Lionsfan]

Maybe for a short time yeah, and then after the time period was up I could make a permanent decision. If it was some kind of magic thing and not like the stuff we have now

 

[Tonimata]

I'd probably do it to try, I've always been curious, so long as it doesn't cost me a fortune. Mainly because I'm hilariously poor right now (No shit, my mother even had to steal money from me)

 

[Rough Sausage]

I'm used to being a guy now, it'd be akin to only playing Xbox for your entire life then suddenly switching to Playstation, it'd just feel wrong and you'd want your Xbox back. At least, that's how I think I would react.

 

[BlackStar42]

I would, just so I could see what wanking feels like from a girl's perspective. Only if it's temporary though, I like my genitals non-bleeding.
