This is a wonderful question! I would just love to try out a woman's body and see what it felt like.... say for about a week after the "period". Only then do I think I could answer your poll. However, I may wish to ask for an extension.

This subject brings up a lot of questions...
What other kinds of behavior (i.e, not sexual preference) would change for those who undergo the "transplant"? Would men who were mostly masculine before the change start to wear girly clothes and spend an inordinate amount of time on their hair once the transplant was achieved? Would women-who-became-men display behavior that could be described as effiminite? I wonder if some such procedure (such as in the society described in Varley's Steel Beach and The Golden GLobe ) would be very popular if it ever became readily available, cheap, and reversible. What kinds of demographic shifts would result? Would there be in increase in "men" (because of continuing social priviledges) or an increase in "women" (cuz guys dig boobs)? Would gender cease to be a social issue at all? Also, would their be many individuals who would refuse to have sexual relationships with those whose body (displaying the gender one is attracted to) is not the one they were born with? If you were a heterosexual man, would you refuse to have sex with a gorgeous woman whose mind once resided in a male body? As for me, if I were to make the switch, I'd continue eating fish. No sausage for me. ![]() |
