Thought Experiment
Mar. 11th, 2010 09:44 pmIf you could decide, on a day by day basis, to wake up with either a conventionally male body, or a conventionally female body, or any combination of gendered attributes, and it would last for the day, and then you could make a fresh choice tomorrow, would you take advantage of this on a regular basis, or just use it once to transition, or what?
And why?
For me, I think I'd spend a lot of time as my birth assigned sex - male, simply because it seems that on those days where I don't care, society seems easier to navigate as male. If I started to experience dysphoria, or need to attend some sort of formal situation, I'd switch back in an instant. I do wonder if I'm unusual for thinking I'd spend a lot of time as my birth assigned sex though, and am curious to know if other trans people feel similarly?
