Who says it has to be a stranger? As long as we’re being hypothetical here, we can say you have a friend who would “do ya” or maybe your partner could switch for the day as well…

I would do my damnest to get pregnant. A great amount of sex with as many people as possible, and living off the royalties when I changed back. My ghod, the movie rights alone…!

Flora, I know many transexuals, both male to female and female to male.

What would I do if I changed gender for the day? I think I would go into a women’s restroom with several other women and see what you guys actually talk about in there. I would hope that I would have changed genders during that special time of the month and then bitch out some people who annoy me and then just say it’s PMS.

That’s about it. I am not really too interested in having sex with a man (I do that already) nor am I interested in having sex with a woman.

HUGS!

Check out that whole multiple orgasm thing, then hang around in bars letting guys buy me drinks. For afters I’d see how many traffic violations I could get out of just by smiling and maybe try and find out just what girls talk about in the loos.

Probably just wish I’d change back.

Thing is, whenever you get into the sort of conversation of “is it worse to be a man or a woman?” the women always seem to present the more convincing argument. Especially when it comes to shaving.

But the “committing crimes” thing is a cool idea not so much for the idea of getting away with crimes but for the idea of knowing I’d change back in a day. Can you tell I’ve just recently seen “Lost Highway”?

I think I would have to just give it a pass. One day is not really enough. I want to get knocked up, have a baby, nurse it, the whole motherhood thing. If you don’t get that part, what the hell is the point of being a woman anyway? Like going to the Ballpark on a day the team ain’t playin’.

:::::: Insert standard European guy’s rant about Americans being dumb ass egocentric culture barbaric no good fuckfaces here ::::::

Just kidding, of course. We all know the secrets are on this side of the ocean.  
Not to piss y’all off, but a here are a couple of remarks made by Americans I encountered the world over:

“You live in Amsterdam ? That is SO cool ! My cousin lives in Milan, maybe you know him ?”

“Holland, isn’t that the capital of Denmark ?”

“Sure I know where Holland is. It’s the country next to Turkey.”

## Again, all in good fun… I know y’all are different 😉
