    >>>>>>>>In this hypothetical situation, the rule is, if you do choose to change your gender, that is the gender you would always have been.<<<<<<<<<

    Also, do you think it would make your life easier if you did change your gender? And, what key differences do you imagine it would make to your life, if any at all?

    My personality would maybe possibly fit better someone who is female, at least in terms of societal expectations. I'd also have access to more men as a female. BUT, I'd be missing out on the social perks of being male, and I'd be less non-stereotypical. I'd be interested in being a female for a limited time, mainly to experience sex as one. However, I am comfortable being male, and am not interested in a permanent change.

    I'm not sure if what you are asking is what everyone who's transgender has been asked: If you could change your sex at birth, would you? And most, if not all of us would have said "yes"

    But to be on the safe side, I picked "no" because I'm a very curious person. I've always viewed people as people, not as one thing or the other. And I've always been curious on what makes us human, what makes us tick. We're a very complex race with many unique complicated traits.

    I wouldn't, because I am happy being a man. I love it as much as I love other men. Never in a thousand rebirths do I wanna be a girl.

    I'm not too attached to my gender. I'd be happy either way.

    I love being a male because it is what I'm used to after 22 years. I'd probably feel similarly if I were a female.

    For the sake of the vote, I'll go with "No".

    I would need to know exactly what my gender is first before I could answer for certain, but I'm inclined to say no. If the OP actually meant sex as well as gender, then I'd still lean toward no, with the caveat that if I could pick and choose aspects of another sex (a flat chest and no hips, for example) I would happily do so.

    Yeah. I'd consider becoming a woman, if only so I knew what it was like to be comfortable in my own body.

    I would absolutely change my gender if I could. I am now 60 years old and I feel that my age is against me as well as family which I would certainly lose if I came out.

    That is a hard decision. Being a girl would have made my life less difficult, but it wouldn't have been me. So... no, I think.

    I would. As much as I like being a male, I hate being in a woman's body. So if I were a woman in a woman's body, at least I wouldn't have to go through all of this pain. But that'll never happen so I remain a guy and will forever be a guy.

    No, I like being a girl, although I'm not a "stereotypical" on, in no way.

    Although it makes things difficult for me, I like being a girl. It's just... nice somehow.

    I'd rather have shapeshifting powers a la Mystique. It would make life so much fun to look however I want to look when I wake up in the morning.

    I voted "No and I am still in the closet". I'm actually half-way out of the closet because most of my friends and my sister know, but the rest of my family has no idea. I am also 100% glad that I am female. :slight_smile:
