soos -- Are you only your gender? How does religion, society and the law view gender? Equally?
Robin -- Having a penis is like having a magic wand -- you can kill or heal with it. The trouble comes with the attached testis because that's where all the drama is made!
Yeah I'm a little nervous about the balls...they seem to be a lot of trouble. I would however love to see a guy have to live as a woman...now that would be funny :lol:
I asked my boyfriend and he said he'd like to try out being a woman but he's always had a nice feminine side. I mean now all the things he likes wouldn't seem so weird like bracelets and nail polish.
Would we have a choice of what type of body we'd switch into?
If that was an option, it would be fun to see what a drop-dead gorgeous female experiences in life. To go through such a change and be average would be a let down.
The normal average every day man and woman goes through the same challenges. I'd be better to amplify the experience by being super feminine (or for the ladies, being super masculine).
I don't know if I'd be able to handle all of the extra attention I bet women get thoughout the normal course of the day. I suspect that I'd be glad to switch back to being a guy after the experience.
Yes, you can choose your body type and hair color and measurements.
I like your attempt to go for the super-fem line -- that would certainly be an interesting approach to take!
Women -- especially the ultra-pretty standard -- get a lot of attention and a lot of unwanted lusting. That must be a hard and fine line to traverse without ticking anyone one off -- male OR female -- while still living an honorable and helpful life. I think women have it doubly harder than men in our current situation in America and women in other countries have an even tougher circumstance by a factor of ten!
Nope, I'd rather not change. Even though I do occasionally gripe about some of the female aspects that are a pain in the ass, I do like being a woman.
There's nothing about a man that I'm so curious about that I'd want to become one to know. I think I can learn all I need to know from where I am now. :D
I'm up for it, a day a year, whatever. I love the way women are so open as apose to men. Matter of fact, I wish I could do it, honestly. I would love to do it. honestly. How can it be done? Is it possible?

Switching gender? For one year?? Interesting question David!
At first my normal reaction was – “Nope…not me! I am not going to lose the “me†of my personality!â€
Then I realized, that was just change resistance! If I get the opportunity – I will do it – just to experience the change!
--- Well, If she's up for it, so am I. Let the swap begin! one year to see what it's like. I will volenteer for this if she would. It would be very enjoyable. And also a better understanding of women. notify me if your interested! I'm perfectly fine and healthy, How would she find it in a tall (Six foot) dark (with sky blue eyes) and handsome guy's body for a year?
Right, it isn't gonna be possible with Katha, Anthony. Let's leave her alone from now on, okay? I deleted your other messages because they became Spam when you posted the same thing over and over again.
I don’t remember when we talked about switching gender if we had talked about switching our ‘gray matter’ too.
I need to be sure before I do anything stupid, I don’t think a ‘handsome’ package will be enough for me to get into this game – I need my level of intelligence to be the same – is there a way to figure it out?
Would I mind being a woman for a while? Not really. I'd really like to see what it's like and get a better understanding of women (Okay, and stare at myself, sue me, haha)
I'm a spiritual person (very liberal Christian) but I just don't think you could float around like that.
But hey, if it's ever possible, give me a holler. Hahah, could make for good storytelling.
Why not and see whats it really like to be a woman and all that its about. It sure would give a great deal in insite in understanding the oppisite sex.
It would take onsiderable time to adjust to the shift in body weight, wouldn`t it? Perhaps people forget,the alignment of the body is different for women and men-the pelic girdle is shifted and broadened,men tend to focus on upper body strengh,women less so.Then there`s the nature of `socially defined` body language, and verbal cues.Phew.Internally we have both female and male hormones coursing through us, the gender shift would have to encompass a shift in physiological bias...So where does that leave the heart and mind.Would sexuality shift-if only out of `curiosity`or liberation from the confines of our previous role?. Would we struggle with our previous sexuality(or not?)Would we broadcast(!) our `difference`(there wouldn`t be any one else quite like us would there? Lots of questions to consider folks..It ain`t all mini skirts or plaid shirts now is it?
I would absolutely love to be a woman for a year I think it would be the most eventful year of my life, just think of trying all of the different things
I THINK ME BEING A MAN FOR A YEAR WOULD BE AMAZING ESPECIALLY TO FIND OUT WHAT MAKING LOVE IS LIKE FOR A MAN I MEAN HAVING THAT CONTROL OVER A WOMAN WHILE MAKING LOVE WOULD BE COOL.
It would be a risky decision. Part of me is curious about it, but too many bad outcomes could happen. It would take a very strong, determined and intelligent man to be able to be transformed into a woman for one year.
I would probably agree to it, and would want to be a drop-dead gorgeous woman to get the full experience of it, if I could.
But still it would be difficult to be in that role and I am sure I would struggle.
There would be risks--what if, for some reason, I became pregnant during the year? I am not in favor of either ophanage or abortions.
Either way, I do believe there is a lot of gender tension in our world and if this were possible, it might help dispell some myths.
I would definitely be interested in switching bodies and becoming a woman for a year. I think there's a lot to be learned, and honestly it's something I've been curious about for a long time. I somewhat suspect more men would be interested in becoming women than vice versa ... but perhaps that says more about my own subconscious gender stereotypes than it actually reflects reality. And quite honestly, I'd rather spend time as a very average woman -- not a drop-dead gorgeous supermodel. I'd be mostly interested in understanding, from a first-person perspective, what the average woman subjectively feels and thinks and lives. I'd happily swap in a second! (any takers?) ...
well i know if the government had a machine to swap 2 peoples conciousness to the other persons body (swap gender) id volunteer just to see what it is like and because i always am searching for knoweledge and seeing the worldfrom a different perspective would make it easier to foulfill my knoweledge quest i guess you could call it
As a male, there’s a lot of friction with this question. First off. If you change into a woman, does your sexual desires turn to men? And if so does that mean you are gay? For that matter personally I think men do get off better then females in the since that women have to put up with a monthly "bad egg" (feel free to laugh if you got that) pregnancy, breast (yeah I know guys like those, and yes girls enjoy them at times, but the general response i have gotten is that they are a pain in the ass to lug around sometimes). If you want to go further, there is the role in society, would you conform to the female stereotypes or still try and play the male role. Personally I would think it would leave me f'ed up in the head and completely lost. I mean who's to say you would even want to change back after experiencing the ecstasy of the change, or if you would simply be sickened by it all.

I would do it. Why not see how the other half lives? Would our bodies change, too?
Oh, yes, soos. Your body changes as well.
Changing body. I wonder if that means changing sexual preference too. I'm not sure how my boyfriend would react to this.
Would you not swap your gender if it meant losing your boyfriend?
I don't know. I mean if he really loved me it wouldn't matter what gender I was right? Or am I only my gender?
I would definitely do it, I'm so curious what it's like having a penis. Hey maybe that is what I'll ask for the Holidays.
soos -- Are you only your gender? How does religion, society and the law view gender? Equally?
Robin -- Having a penis is like having a magic wand -- you can kill or heal with it. The trouble comes with the attached testis because that's where all the drama is made!
I am not my gender but I sure do identify with it and I sure to attract the opposite with it. If I swap it it seems I'd swap everything I am.
Yeah I'm a little nervous about the balls...they seem to be a lot of trouble. I would however love to see a guy have to live as a woman...now that would be funny :lol:
soos -- You only swap everything you are if you only define yourself through your gender.
Robin -- I wonder if more women would want to be men than men as women?
That's a good point. I suppose if people really loved me, they would accept my swap or at least wait for me for a year to swap back.
That makes a lot of sense, soos! Go for it!
:grin:
That's a good question.
I asked my boyfriend and he said he'd like to try out being a woman but he's always had a nice feminine side. I mean now all the things he likes wouldn't seem so weird like bracelets and nail polish.
Robin -- I wonder if it helps the swap if you already have a transgender first name.
:mrgreen:
It would be really interesting for couples to agree to do the swap together! That would be really helpful in understanding the other person!
True, that is helpful.
I think Erik and I would have a great time with it but it could in the end make things really confusing.
Yes, it might be really confusing, Robin. Fun for a week and then frustrating for the next 51.
I'd switch to see what it would be like.
Would we have a choice of what type of body we'd switch into?
If that was an option, it would be fun to see what a drop-dead gorgeous female experiences in life. To go through such a change and be average would be a let down.

Funny, Dave!
I'm curious why you wouldn't do it for a year, though?
Ouch, Dave!
You are so on point it hurts!
Yes, you may keep your hair and it won't adversely affect your bone density.
Nope, I'd rather not change. Even though I do occasionally gripe about some of the female aspects that are a pain in the ass, I do like being a woman.
There's nothing about a man that I'm so curious about that I'd want to become one to know. I think I can learn all I need to know from where I am now. :D
Not for a whole year no, maybe a week or even or a month, but a year seems like an awful long time to be a bloke
Carla -- Men are pretty shallow, I admit. I admire you for refusing to give up your complexity!
Bec -- It's a year or nothing! :wink: Are you in or out?
A day? Sure. A week? Sure, but a Year? Nuh-uh!
suki!
Why not a year?
So,you could switch bodies?I dont mean to sound like a per**** but id like to be a girl for a day.Sorry if thats offensive ladies:)
I think that's a fair desire, Tyler. What specifically would you hope to experience?
Switching gender? For one year?? Interesting question David!
At first my normal reaction was – “Nope…not me! I am not going to lose the “me†of my personality!â€
Then I realized, that was just change resistance! If I get the opportunity – I will do it – just to experience the change!
I agree it certainly might prove to be an interesting and insightful condition to enjoy for a year, Katha!
hey sure id try it for a year,i already lost more of my life than that when i was in iraq so sure bring it on
well i think i'd do it i know my gf wouldnt cair if i did so y not
now too bad we cant actually do this,i wouldnt mind trying
It would be cool but differnt... Im only a kid so I'd be freaked out being same age or even older O_O... Weird.
I'm up for it, a day a year, whatever. I love the way women are so open as apose to men. Matter of fact, I wish I could do it, honestly. I would love to do it. honestly. How can it be done? Is it possible?

Hi Anthony --
We'll see if Katha takes you up on you offer!
Ha!
:grin:
If not, are there other ways?
You'll have to discuss this with Katha, Anthony!
:mrgreen:
bet it ain't possible! I wish it was though...
Right, it isn't gonna be possible with Katha, Anthony. Let's leave her alone from now on, okay? I deleted your other messages because they became Spam when you posted the same thing over and over again.
Ok, David – a quick question.
I don’t remember when we talked about switching gender if we had talked about switching our ‘gray matter’ too.
I need to be sure before I do anything stupid, I don’t think a ‘handsome’ package will be enough for me to get into this game – I need my level of intelligence to be the same – is there a way to figure it out?
The deal is off then, Katha!
I'm canceling all offers of gender swapping!
:mrgreen:
Right! Thanks!!! :D
Good!
Now give me back my brain!
:wink:
Heh! You got it! :D
Thank you!
And here's your dress back!
:mrgreen:
This is in NO way possible.
Would I mind being a woman for a while? Not really. I'd really like to see what it's like and get a better understanding of women (Okay, and stare at myself, sue me, haha)
I'm a spiritual person (very liberal Christian) but I just don't think you could float around like that.
But hey, if it's ever possible, give me a holler. Hahah, could make for good storytelling.
well hey id deffinately become a woman for a year because it would help me understand what women like/ and or go through it would be an experience
Why not and see whats it really like to be a woman and all that its about. It sure would give a great deal in insite in understanding the oppisite sex.
and i completely agree it would be a life changing experience for any man and vice versa i guess women becoming a man would be the same way
Hi Wolfgang, and welcome to Urban Semiotic!
I thank you for your fine comment and I certainly feel for you.
I appreciate your scientific explanation of what is too often interpreted as an emotional and non-intellectual condition.
It would take onsiderable time to adjust to the shift in body weight, wouldn`t it? Perhaps people forget,the alignment of the body is different for women and men-the pelic girdle is shifted and broadened,men tend to focus on upper body strengh,women less so.Then there`s the nature of `socially defined` body language, and verbal cues.Phew.Internally we have both female and male hormones coursing through us, the gender shift would have to encompass a shift in physiological bias...So where does that leave the heart and mind.Would sexuality shift-if only out of `curiosity`or liberation from the confines of our previous role?. Would we struggle with our previous sexuality(or not?)Would we broadcast(!) our `difference`(there wouldn`t be any one else quite like us would there? Lots of questions to consider folks..It ain`t all mini skirts or plaid shirts now is it?
Welcome to Urban Semiotic, Sparkles!
I love your questions!
We are in the realm of the knowable, but you guide us to important questions for inquiry!
I would absolutely love to be a woman for a year I think it would be the most eventful year of my life, just think of trying all of the different things
I THINK ME BEING A MAN FOR A YEAR WOULD BE AMAZING ESPECIALLY TO FIND OUT WHAT MAKING LOVE IS LIKE FOR A MAN I MEAN HAVING THAT CONTROL OVER A WOMAN WHILE MAKING LOVE WOULD BE COOL.
It would be a risky decision. Part of me is curious about it, but too many bad outcomes could happen. It would take a very strong, determined and intelligent man to be able to be transformed into a woman for one year.
I would probably agree to it, and would want to be a drop-dead gorgeous woman to get the full experience of it, if I could.
But still it would be difficult to be in that role and I am sure I would struggle.
There would be risks--what if, for some reason, I became pregnant during the year? I am not in favor of either ophanage or abortions.

I've always wanted to be a girl I mean they get more atention than boys unless your popular but i would rather go my whole life as as woman
would i be able to keep my intelligance leval
As a male, there’s a lot of friction with this question. First off. If you change into a woman, does your sexual desires turn to men? And if so does that mean you are gay? For that matter personally I think men do get off better then females in the since that women have to put up with a monthly "bad egg" (feel free to laugh if you got that) pregnancy, breast (yeah I know guys like those, and yes girls enjoy them at times, but the general response i have gotten is that they are a pain in the ass to lug around sometimes).
