Would you change your gender if you could?

[Adinnieken]

The problem with this question is that most men think that they would be the same if they were women. The reality is, that isn't true at all. If you read up on transgender women (Male to Female), the men lose their sex drive. Essentially, they become like women, which makes sense.

So sex would become more about sense, sensuality, and emotion, and less about friction and orgasm.

If there was a one-time option to switch, than I'd want that to take place before puberty, but ideally I'd want to retain the male sex drive, no menstruation, and no pregnancy. Gay or Straight, if I had the option to switch to being a female, I wouldn't.

Why would a straight male want to be a female and why would a gay male want to be? The only type of male who would want to be is one who suffered from gender confusion or a Bi male who would opportunistically switch sex based on the need or desire.

Men who play the role of females (sissies or transvestites) are men, who act the part of a female because it brings them sexual arousal, not because they gender identify with women or want to be women. They get aroused by it because of their male sex drive.

Another problem with this question is that DNA aside, the problem with sexing in humans (likely all mammals) is that in males the components of the human anatomy that make women, women atrophy in men because of testosterone. What begins as a gland in the embryo, turns into the Uterus, Cervix, and upper portion of the Vagina. Once an embryo becomes male, and most certainly by the time puberty sets in, those components are long gone. In other words, becoming a woman is a one time thing.

All the parts that make a man a man, are present in a woman. In reality, it doesn't mean a woman can easily become a man, but in theory everything is there to do so. It's just need a LOT of reassignment. So, painful as it may be, a woman could change back and forth, though the longer she remained a male the more her Uterus, Cervix, and Vagina would atrophy.

For men, it would literally be a one way trip. There is only one time during the human biological process when it would be possible and that would be prior to sexing in the womb. Not to mention, the Estrogen would atrophy anything that makes a male a male including the penis and testes after a matter of months. So even if it could be reverse biologically, you would be sterile and likely end-up with a small/er penis.

tl;dr I popped someone's balloon.
