If you could change gender for 1 to 3 days

Gender is NOT sex.

SEX is male and female.

Gender is man and woman. (societal roles)

OK. In that case, "transgenders" need neither hormones nor surgery, since it's simply a new name for "transvestites" or "he-shes". To play a role, one simply has to "act". OTOH, a costume helps OTHERS see that role. In the limit case, where the society does not specify strict gender roles, there is no gender, but only sex.

OTOOH, I believe the OP equated "gender" with "sex" as you define it, since the "if you could" lead-in implies difficulty or impossibility. Otherwise, ANYONE could "change gender for 1 to 3 days" by simply playing the role (in private) and/or dressing up (in public).

Also, FWIW, the current "bathroom debate" is beyond ridiculous. Inside the home, everyone uses the same bathroom, regardless of sex or gender, without major problem. The same COULD be done in public. The "pervert" argument is a red herring. There are enough pedophiles, rapists, and other invasive perverts of all sexes, genders, and proclivities to go around; so we simply treat them equally when found -- with a 12 ga slug between the eyes.

. . . OTOOH, I believe the OP equated "gender" with "sex" . . . .

the current "bathroom debate" is beyond ridiculous.. . .

The OP did equate gender with sex, and that was a mistake. They are not the same.

I agree the bathroom debate is ridiculous. Unisex bathrooms should be the rule.

I would do it absolutely. I guess I consider myself gender queer, with majority female tendencies and mindset but with a male body. I would change for 3 days simply to find out how to be a better lover. My fantasy scenario would be to be involved in a 3 female 2 male orgy and seeing how many orgasms I can handle!

To "Lee" post 185,

"WOW!!" What a trip!! I love it!! Welcome to the "Dark Side!!" Be the "best of being a MAN!!??" There s more to being a "Man" or "Woman" than meets the eye!! From our Forum!!" I don't know what your relationships with "Men" were like in the past....But? It's all in who you are with?? From being a little kid I learned from my father at a very early age by watching him that "As Men we have to treat our WOMEN with the utmost courtesy!!" I was totally blown away by a comment from my late wife when we were heading to the after show party at our local "Watering hole" after the local "Lynrd Skinrd" Concert>>>>Just so you know, we met late in life, both in our 60's after 2 marriages. Anyway, on the way to "Big Harry's," she said,"WOW!!!, ...Nobody has ever taken me to a Concert before!!!!" 'Talk about "Make my day!!!" All I could think was...."Thank you Dad for showing me the "Way!!!!" to a woman's Heart!!!!!!" Please notice I said......."H-E-A-R-T-!!"

PS I can't forget the "Smile!!!!"

with "tears in my eyes,"

highwater

PS "Nobody she ever knew before took her to a "Concert"......But "I did!!" Geez...my previous wives and just ladies I dated........that was "SOP!!!!" Do I have to say anything else?

I guess the big thing about this thread is "Experiencing" the "Other side!!" As a Male that means I am a "Protector" of the Female...the Female is the "Protected!!"

It's all about the "Survival of the species!!" The Female possesses the "EGGS!!!" They are precious and vulnerable!! The Male has the sperm... There's "Lots of Sperm out there!!" It is the Male's job to protect the EGGS!! If he is "Lucky" or has "The Gift of Gab" he can introduce his sperm to the "EGG" and ensure the furthering of his genetic code!! That's the "Drill!! So, now we want to "Switch Sides!!!!" ........Oh How Fun!! Like I said,,, welcome "To The Dark Side!!!"

Remember: "WOMEN".....are from Venus.. "MEN" ...are from Mars.

Well i did some research and it is quite interesting!! The "average surface temp. on "Venus" is 864*F!! That's kinda "HOT" by our specs!! Mars is -67*F with quite a range from its summer to winter and at the poles!! When ya' get into understanding the differences between the two planets it all starts to make sense!! one thing though, I don't know what the specs are but I think more males want to transgender to female than vice versa??? Any one know why??

Read where some guy said,"I spent 9 months inside a woman....." " Go Figure??"

Intruder, you said:

your information tends to deal with "feelings" rather than substantial information...

Interesting point. Let me refer you to the first paragraph of the first quote that I provided the other day:

[Gender identity] appears to be related to the neurological “body map” and relationship to one’s body- feelings of either comfort or alienation.

In this case, the "feelings" you dismiss as invalid are merely the evidence of what is going on in the neurological "body map." Neurons are substantial things. If yours make you a man and comfortable with your body, that is substantial and valid. If they do not, that is just as substantial and valid.

Furthermore, whether or not someone has had "bottom surgery" has nothing to do with how they express their gender. Most men you meet, you know they are men, but you have not seen their penis, assuming they have one. Most women you meet, you know they are women, but you have not seen their vagina, assuming they have one. The characteristics of their bodies that determine whether they look and feel male and female are all characteristics that develop as a result of their body chemistry, whether their hormones are predominately testosterone or predominately estrogen. Their hormones could be produced by their bodies or administered via medication. You never know which is the case. But the tell tale characteristics of whether the hormones a person's body contains are mostly estrogen or mostly testosterone exist on a cellular level and are not "painted on."

Just because a person has a penis does not mean that that is what they use to have sex with. Just because a person has a vagina does not mean that that is what they use to have sex with.

To say that a trans woman is actually a man because she is attracted to women is the same as saying that a lesbian who is not trans is actually a man, or that a gay man is actually a woman. But we know that is not the case. A strictly heterosexual woman, for example, is not attracted to another woman even if the other woman is a lesbian, and a strictly heterosexual man is not attracted to another man even if the other man is gay.

I really do not think there are more trans people and I do not think that children are pretending to be trans. It's just a taboo that is being lifted. There was a time when everyone in the USA was expected to believe in Christianity. Even if you did not believe in Christianity, you might have still gone to church with everyone else in your community and said that you did believe in Christianity just because it was easier to say that than to face the consequences of not believing in Christianity. Now, in most areas, it is common for people to be open about not believing in any religion at all. They are not lying about this. Such people have always existed. It's just that now it is more socially acceptable.

There is no way I would do it. I have no sense of body or gender dysmorphism.

On A more lighthearted note, I would love to see if my new female body has a nice voice. If so I would sing all day! I have always wanted to sing well, but my voice just isn't there.

Personally I really DON'T!!!!!!!! But just for "FUN" for :3 days" like the post asks, I'd go for change me to an exact clone of "Taylor Swift" complete with those gorgeous long legs , great "Pipes" and those lucious Gorgeous "RED LIPS!!!!!!!" "And" Karen Fairchild when she was up on stage with that long Black hair in those high top high heeled boots singing "GIRLCRUSH!!!!!" ..............Just sayin' I'd be movin'..... headin down the highway, takin' the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed............if ya' give meeeeeeeeeeee.........weed......whites.....and wine......an' show me a sign..........

Had an old Girlfriend ...Nancy.. one time we were lyin' in her bed, watchin' TV and drinkin' Cogniac with Bud Light Chasers and I don't remember how or why/what the question was but my response to her was and this was straight shootin' no "delay" right off the top of my head......."I am Hopelessly Heterosexual!!"

So, Go Figure??

highwater

"I am Hopelessly Heterosexual!!"

So, Go Figure??

How do you know you're not a lesbian trapped in a man's body?

Absolutely! What an opportunity to experience all that life provides. I'd make sure that I remembered everything that I experienced so that when it came time to transition back that I wouldn't forget how the other half thought and felt about different things.

I'm female. I've had fantasies in which I'm a man fucking another man in the ass. It makes my clit swell up to think of that. Also I'd really like to get my temporary penis sucked dry. And I'd like to get fucked in the ass by another man, although I'd want his penis to be on the slim side. I'd like to try penile penetration (urethra) - with something sterile, of course. And getting a spanking -- whether I'm male or female.

And while I was a man, I'd ask for a raise so I'd be making as much as my peers. Oh yeah, and a promotion so I could use all my training, knowledge, and talents that I wish so much I could use at my job.

Actually, I think the human race would be better off if we were all hermaphrodites. Double the fun. And our bodies were covered with a beautiful fur. And we were marsupial so childbirth would be easy. And as long as I'm making changes, the world would be better off if nobody had an IQ higher than an orangutan's and all animals were vegetarian.

Sex is sometimes both male AND female. How many know that Lady Gaga is a hermaphrodite? As with virtually any topic, there are always disclaimers; I am using this source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2_TjnBy598.

I'd do it just to see the other side.

I'd love to be a woman for a few days.

However, my luck I'd come back as a really "unappealing" looking babe and would consequently have to pay for all my services.....

One aspect not mentioned is pregnancy...I'd like to experience up to the actually delivery..not that I'm scared...it would be too much to handle having a child and then going back...and wondering about...lots of Prozac would be needed!

All, the sexual stuff and associated feelings would be welcomed in my experiment. But, the after effects might be really hard to live with.

Scarry!

I would be a slut and just fuck and play with my self

1. Would you do it? YES!

2. What would excite you the most? Sex of course

3. Give fantasy details of your first day and night. I'd love to wear a thong to a crowded public beach, pick out a really attractive guy, start up a conversation, get drunk with him, snuggle up to him and grab his crotch, suggest he take me home with him, and then see what wild sex is like for a woman.

1. I would definitely!

2. I'd love the most the "female power" about it. Some guys I think are "victims" of the power of women's beauty, like seeing a pair of breasts and not be able to think straight anymore.

3. I would wear something sexy but elegant, go to a bar, pick the right one, maybe a man around 30-40, to drive him crazy with every movement, with the slightest touch of his leg, and then bring him home and see who often I could make him come 😃 AND the feeling of having someone in my vagina, give him the permission to enter my body, must be awesome, because I think when it comes to heterosexual sex, who decides if it comes to it or not, is the woman.

Would you do it? Most Definitely

What would excite you the most? The ability to be able to walk into any sex shop/lingerie store with ease, try on what I want there and buy it if I like it.

Go into a nice lingerie store, pick out a nice outfit, model it, pay for it, then invite someone special over to model it for. Have hours of non-stop sex until we both are tired.

If I could change gender for 1 or 3 days yes I would do it.

What would excite me the most would be to see what it's like to have a vagina,clit,and boobs and also to see how it feels to have a period and to get a gyno exam.

I would play with myself and go to a an adult toy store get a few toys, buy some sexy lingerie have sex with a guy and a girl and then go to the gyno just to see what it's like to have an exam done.

If I could swap with my wife I would, probably longer than 1-3 days. I'm one that would be interested in the whole pregnancy/delivery thing, even though I have seen the discomfort, inconvenience and great pain of the process, because it's something that I will never get near as a man. Swapping with my wife I would even get to "keep" the kid.

Other things - well, multiple orgasms definitely have their appeal, especially as I would still be having them with my spouse. Seeing our paternalistic society from the other side would be a big wake-up call as well. I'm a guy, gotta admit the clothes and shoes really wouldn't be a draw.

I'm not sure what would be in it for her. I guess experiencing the other side of the social gender construct. Other than that there's peeing standing up, but that's balanced by your choice of either embarrassing unwanted erections or prostate trouble depending on the age of the guy.

In a word No. I'm quite content and comfortable with my gender and sexuality. I would also hope that most women are likewise happy being female.

I definitely would want to return to "me" after a bit - it would just be interesting to see things from the other side.

I'll stay who I am. I'm happy with mind and spirit and wish I had the looks of a 40 year old, but that is not going to happen so it is what it is.

I don't think I would be a very good female, I wouldn't have a clue on how to act like one and besides I'm happy with the equipment god has blessed me with.

I think a few days around the house with my wife (who is temporarily male) would make for an interesting time. Reversing sex roles and feeling the other's orgasms would be an adventure!

Intruder, that would be fun. I'd prefer that to my beach slut fantasy. I think i'd probably prefer to stay a male long term, like DrJ, but it would be awesome if my wife and I could swap bodies for 3 days.

I wouldn't even consider it. I would be incredibly uncomfortable and uneasy the entire time.

1. No.

2. Just getting out of my own life for a bit.

3. Dress up in footed pajamas and a hospital mask or cartridge respirator, just to experience the fetishes I have for a girl, but as a girl.
