Hmmm, do you currently consider yourself just a dude trapped in a man’s body?
It’s just the operation, not the hormones? And it’s perfect, meaning everything works after they are done? It would suck, but I could definitely do it temporarily. I’d probably need only $200,000 or so.
With hormones, it would depend on on how bad they made me. From this board, I understand the wrong hormones can leave you suicidal, so I’d need to be very careful. And, even if I did agree, the offer would need to go up. If, for no other reason, I predict I’d need a lot of counseling.
As long as magic is involved, I think what I’d do is this:
-
Take the money and the sex change.
-
Find another message board where somebody is asking the same hypothetical.
-
Take the money and the sex change again.
BOOM! Half a billion dollars in my pockets!
(4. Hire two strong guys to hold my pockets up as I walk around.)
No, i identify as a man and my body is male. So why would I? There’s no conflict. Maybe trapped wasn’t the right word, but it’s one that I thought I’ve heard from people experiencing gender dysphoria.
If it really came pain and complication free, rather like Samantha Stephens just twitching her nose in Bewitched, and Voila! I’m a man! Sure.
I’m old, I’m not the greatest looking woman, I can’t believe my family would care, and the money would come in handy. So yeah, let’s go for it.
You say trapped. I say upgrading to a nicer house. Where do I sign up?
Although it does depend on the state of current technology, which I am not at all an expert on. As others have said, there are two sides to this question. Principle, and practice. If it was a matter of waving a magic wand, and poof, I was a woman, I would probably do it for a lot less money. Depending on certain specifics, I would do it for free, or actually pay you. Maybe even pay you a very large amount.
But in practice? Well, I don’t know how good current tech is in this area, so I would have to research that. Becoming a woman? Fine! Having a half-cocked transition (no pun intended)? Maybe not so fine.
When I’m rich I plan on living like a hermit anyway, so I’d definitely seriously consider it. No idea if I’d go ahead with it, though.
Specifically, he said you would physically change to the opposite sex. You would still be a dude, you just would have a vagina instead of a penis.
I’d only consider it if the change came with the ability to have multiple orgasms.
Well, you can already have that as a dude, when you think about it. It’s just a matter of the delay time. You can have one now, and then another one tomorrow. Although, when you get to be my age, it does get a bit more like: One now, and then another one some time next week.
That’s it? Chop off your dick and drill a vagina, and you’re a woman?
Look, let me stop you right there, before you run out to the tool shed…
**I’M **not the one who said it makes you a woman. Lefty said he would no longer be a dude.
I want the kind where I can’t walk afterwards.
Why stop at one set? You’ve got eight arms, right?
Enjoy,
Steven
There are ways of achieving that without changing your sex.
Go on…
For 250 million I’d have to say yes, but I want my penis back!
I don’t need a vagina or boobs to be a woman. SDMB regulars assure me constantly that my penis needn’t prevent me from being a woman.
So just give me the bread. I will assure you that, in my heart, I’m really a woman.
And if that isn’t good enough for Czarcasm, he’s a hateful transphobic cisgender bigot.
Well spoken!
