I'm male, and I wouldn't mind switching genders for a bit. Would be rather interesting, I think. But, I wouldn't want to permanently change. Mentally I feel like a male, so I don't see any reason to.
Sure you could.VintageNHC said:No. If were a female, I wouldn't be able to grow a beard, which I prefer to have.
I apologize if I'm being a bit obtuse here... I'm just not sure what you're implying with the statement of militant transfolk there, especially talking of attention-seeking hipsters and putting trans umbrella in quotations. Because as someone who presents and identifies as the opposite gender, but is unwilling to get the bottom surgery... I get a lot of flack from what I'd consider "militant transfolk" for not wanting the gender reassignment surgery for various reasons.Proto Taco said:On behalf of the greater reasonable trans community, I would like to apologize for whoever called you that. It seems to have become a common insult leveled by more militant transfolk (most likely the attention-seeking hipsters seeking safe-harbor under the 'trans umbrella').
I think the OP has a little difficulty with English, one of his posts stated he's Dutch if I recall correctly. The Male: Yes/Male: no should be taken as your biological gender and weather or not you'd permanently switch.ORNSTElN said:I got confused by the poll answers. Is it saying "Male: temporary" and "Male: yes" as in you want to be a male or as in your a male that want's to switch?
Sure... Much easier.ace_of_something said:Hell no. Being a male is 1000x's easier.

Have my issues and feelings taken so seriously that public transport authorities will campaign to make men sit with their legs together on my behalf?
Have the law protect my genitals against childhood mutilation?
Get the right to vote (depends where you live) and receive other public services, including student loans, job training, federal employment, and naturalisation when I turn 18 without having to sign up for selective service first?
Be subject to more lenient punishment (if any) for committing crimes?
Join the demographic that is least likely to be a victim in violent assault, homicide, or workplace death?
Be one fourth as likely to commit suicide?
Not get weird looks when talking or playing with children?
No thanks, I have pride, I'd prefer to keep it.
