Does anyone else wish they were a shape-shifter?

  1. 1. Would you like the ability to switch between a male or female body at will?



Recommended Posts

I wish I could remake my body whenever I wanted. I don't think I would like being female all the time but I also don't want to be trapped in a male body forever. Something a bit more in between might be nice but it would still feel too permanent. If I could, I'd be switching between male and female pretty frequently. I'd probably sleep exclusively as female since I feel the most dysphoric at night. How about you? Do you ever feel like your life could be seriously improved by frequent shape-shifting?

I often felt i was doing just that when i would spend time as myself and have to change back. It was painful. I can't imagine wanting that pain but i did learn to live with it for several years before i could go full time.

Hugs,

Mhhh this is a tough question. On the one hand, I don't want to be trapped in a female body all my life, but on the other I don`t want to be manly!

I`m something in between and it would be very nice, if I could be an androgynous human-being. Neither male nor female.

But what would happen, if I were a shape-shifter? I think, I would use this I would use this ability in public! I would use the ability to be either male or female. This would make my life easier :hairpull:

I'd love to be a shape shifter

I think body shape and looks limit greatly the range of clothing that can be worn and places to feel relaxed in

I love the clothes I can wear but also even more girly things which would not work for me in public view. There are even some male things I would look odd in. I love to dress up and change style.

I do that in fantasy but perhaps it would be a wish too far :rolleyes:

Yes! I would love to able to change my physical appearance at any time. Like Tracy said, I'd look pretty odd in certain things but if I could wear them without people looking at me funny, it would be great! There are so many girly things I enjoy but shouldn't do since I'm a guy. It sucks most days but then there are the days when I'm perfectly happy being a guy. Those days are kind of seldom though. Overall though, I'd much rather be viewed as a girl 99% of the time and a tomboy the other 1%

I wouldn't want to be a bimorph like Bruce Banner, just shapeshifting into one of two shapes. I used to fantasize while playing with clay when I was young of being Polly Murphy the Polymorph. :superman:

Hi,

This ? is like saying to myself any way whats it like being this way all the time ,and from birth . I don't know any different and with that only comes a few body organs that would make little difference any way , only one would ,

Living my life what really would be different how I see myself or would it concern others more, family yes it would or I should say did , when you are both male female whats going to change .... Really .....shape of your body hormones my own what you wear yes spos so or how others see you ,

so getting deeper how you interact with people how they perceive you as a person how you express your self in every part of your life .

Okay how could I improve my life , Gee ...Only one miner detail and I don't really think it would not now any way , possible maybe , facial surgery , I doubt it im too well known and known by many 1000s of people now, that it would help at all ,

There are aspects about myself that can be seen in many things I do that some may say oh that's how a male will do it or that's how a female does it , so combine the two and that's how it works in my case .

I cant change and be a male or a female or change to..... Being..... a male or female note the word ...change.... and I don't know how it could ever be done not with in my makeup ,

So what youd like to do is be totally all male , and say later be totally all female Hmmm , okay , allright the totaly one or other ,

is not something I would wish for yet I was given what I needed to be who I am , If you can get your head around the im both then you may get what its like for us ,

As a ? though why would you like to be able to change back and forth , maybe that's were I don't understand your thoughts ,

"Is that Jessica Rabbit over there? I want to get an autograph and a picture with her!" "Naw, that's just old JodyAnn shapeshifting again!"

I would like that in only one direction. Female, more and better, in that order. Giggle.

I was envious of Marilyn Monroe, pffft! They would have to chop me up for stew meat and sew me back together. I would have more stitches than Burlington Textile! That much pain for gain I can do without. Alass, I must work with what I have. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Hug. JodyAnn

I'd like switch just to female, but since I also wan't my wife to be happy, I would switch back from time to time to make her happy. She loves moth of my sides, she calls it the best of both worlds. LOL

Contrary to my earlier post I am now in the position of being unsure!

In some ways it would be nice to be a shape shifter and look exactly how I wanted but I like to be open and honest as far as I can so changing would not be nice to anyone I had a relationship with unless they were fully aware. It is, I think, an ideal which in practice may be a curse.

Additionally as time goes on I feel more relaxed changing between male and female anyway. Mentally when out as female I am usually much more confident now than when I posted earlier (2013). I feel much more attuned to my female side although being male is more of a problem than then (for example - recently when dressed fully male I went into the men's bathroom in a store and as I approached the urinal I stopped dead and thought to myself 'this is wrong'. I overcame that but it didn't half spook a man using an adjacent urinal :D ).

All in all I think it is that I feel I can change between male and female to a large extent without being a shape shifter and in doing so I am still me so I am more relaxed with the morality of the situation!

I would so love to be able to shape shift---I didn't get that mutant gene though (Mystique from X-men).

We're a two-spirit, meaning that there's me, the tomboy female, and there's the fully male spirit that lives in here with me most of the time. He has dreams of looking like himself, sometimes, and it's so intense and beautiful that he gets a little weepy about it... then the body wakes up, and we're back to being stuck female again, and there's a different kind of tears...

I placed "unsure' for one simple reason. I am a child of sci-fi, and resolved long ago that were I able to switch genders at will, I would simply change my body to female... and stay there.

I have zero desire to live my life as male.

Hhmmm...I voted "no" in the survey.  I made my medical transition a few years back, and have no desire to return to what was.

Interestingly enough, I had the opportunity to witness something that was purported to be just that....

Early on in our relationship, my spouse (American Indian) took me to visit an old Indian bruja who provided a small demonstration with a portion of one of her limbs.  The gist of the demonstration was that a portion of one scrawny limb appeared to transform into something resembling a muscular, masculine, forelimb.  The old woman said she could do more, but would not do so, stating that her age the exertion required & subsequent recovery time was more than she wished to expend.  I asked no questions, before or after her demonstration.  As a guest I merely accepted what was offered.

Although I do not believe in such things as shape-shifting, the old woman's demonstration was quite interesting.

      Yes, my programmer friends and I think that antivirus software is a virus.  It's constantly searching your system and slowing it down.  If you install your own OS and software on your machine, and you make backups of your personal files, then you can recover from viruses in an hour or two.  My computer is 10+ years old and is working as good as the first day I had it.   As long as my computer is doing what I want it to do, I don't care if someone is spying on my system.

      If you get a ticket, always say not guilty and go to court. Much of the time, the officer will not show up, and often the district attorney or the judge will not want to take the time. They ticket harvest because most people just agree to the fine and send them a check by mail.   If you are not a commercial driver, Most states also have a ticket forgiveness program. You take a little easy Driver's Ed Course, and it doesn't go on your record or increase your insurance prices. Explore your options!

      Shaving my legs (very early on) was the first BIG STEP in my self-affirmation.  It also felt Real and Natural ... Finally (after all my years with fairly hairy legs). My wife was shocked but I think she thought it was 'OK' as long as didn't go any farther ... well that wasn't going to happen.  It was actually Step 1 of many to follow.  I did feel the need to hide it from others but eventually didn't care.  And, men shaving their legs is much more common these days. Home IPL (laser) made the hair removal permanent over the course of a year or so.  Whatever was leftover has been reduced to peach-fuzz by HRT. I don't deny or reject all my years living in the realm of cis-males ... it was part of my Journey to get to where I am today.  But since committing to HRT and living in an environment and community that supports my transition, I find it difficult to go back into Boy-mode.  The times that I do have to do that ... I can feel the dysphoria rising up again.  No going back ... at this point.

      Congratulations @EasyE on your continued progress! I think it was about 6 - 8 weeks for me that I truly started to notice (and feel!) the changes.  They were not enormous (no pun intended) but I could notice my breasts were starting to plump up and my hips also.    fyi - I talked to my Provider a couple of days ago and based on recent labs agreed that I could start progesterone.  I did a LOT of research and after expressing any concerns with my Provider we both felt confident in starting.  I have been almost a full year of estradiol and I think my breast and other body changes have started to settle down.  Hoping the 'P' will give them another jump start. Thank you for sharing your progress.  I think you're going to be Happy with with the next couple of months brings

      I have this one particular antivirus with the VPN, I thought I paid for everything to be activated, but it turns out to be I have basic protection and they want more money from me to turn it on. I wished the store salesperson told me this soon, I would have brought something else that has everything in it, not half protection missing lol

      Hi @Mealaini - nice to meet you and Welcome! You have an important story and experience to share so I am happy you are open and willing to do that.  Also, I want you to know that this Forum was a very important part of my own Self-Acceptance and helped me navigate both my Progress and the Coming Out process to my wife, kids, and other family/friends.   It's not an easy Journey - sometimes it can seem slow and painful - but for most of us here, it's one that is essential to our Well Being.  I hope you have a similar experience as myself as you connect with others on this Forum and gain the benefit our each individual Experience and our Shared Humanity. Deep breaths ... One step at a time

      It seems to me that antivirus software often acts like a virus.  McAfee is really tough to get rid of.  I got a laptop a few years ago that had it pre-installed.  Didn't want it, and the process to cut out every last piece of it took a long time.    As for VPNs, check out Ultrasurf: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasurf   It may not be the best, but it is free and seems to bypass many government restrictions.  Its one of the few tools in GF's toolbox that I actually understand how to use.  As in...click the button!

      Hi Thea, I can relate to that, to this day I find video games that has female role characters in them, the ones that takes leadership.

      Divorce sux.  My husband has an ex-wife somewhere...far, far away.  I guess she turned into somebody completely different right after the marriage, and she divorced him after a couple of years.    My partner (his "Wife #1) married him pretty soon after that divorce, and I guess he kind of missed her back then, but that fades with time.  I wonder... is it harder to stay in contact after divorce, or harder to cut off all contact completely?    I was very clear with my GF when we got together years ago.... to choose me is to keep me forever, as a breakup (and heartbreak) would probably be fatal.  I told my husband and other partners the same thing.  Once I've made my nest, don't push me out of it.  I will curl up in a corner and make myself very heavy and hard to grab   Even GF has never said she wanted to get rid of me, although she gets frustrated with me sometimes.  I'm pretty sure I'm safe here.

      Odd that this topic showed up today. With the warmer weather approaching, I decided to do something about my legs. When I was in my twenties, my legs were quite hairy, but have become less hirsute as I age. I decided to mow the hair with my manscaping device to make eventual shaving less messy. This made me realize that due to a lack of limberness and practice, shaving might be a major undertaking, so today I applied depilatory from mid-thighs to my ankles (no hair on feet, fortunately). The odor wasn't as unpleasant as I expected (didn't use a common store brand*), and the results were gratifying. I'll try it on my chest next.   *I'm not sure whether mentioning product names is allowed – think of a musical by Lerner and Loewe.

      Hi all, Thanks for the warm welcome.     Yeah... The UK flag is a mistake.  I didn't notice it until I came on here today. I'm from Illinois, in the U.S.  I can't seem to find the way to change it in my profile.  Moderators?  Any ideas?     I met with my therapist today.  She thinks that this will be a good place to get started, and I am hoping I can find some support and offer support.     I'll be checking in from time to time :)

      It has been about six weeks since I started the HRT journey. Today I officially "upgraded" to a new level of patch. I can't believe how giddy I was when A) the doc responded so quickly to my request for a new prescription, as I thought as I was going to have to wait a few weeks for my current one to run out; B) the pharmacy filled my new prescription so quickly -- in like an hour from when the doc emailed; and C) when I got home and put the new patch in place as quickly as possible...   Six weeks in and I would say it is subtle changes at best. But there are changes. They are just hard to describe... Sometimes I get these little rushes of emotion or mini-euphorias. Is that the hormones? I am emotional anyways, anger included ... I've noticed very subtle changes in my chest, like are my areola getting bigger? Or is it just my imagination? Are things getting smaller downstairs? Again, or just my imagination? I feel ... different ... yes a little more feminine...   I think it has surprised me how much I actually want a female chest. I keep checking it out all the time. That is brand new! But it's like I look down, notice what appear to be some changes and I say to myself, "This is going on with my body, and I like this! A lot!" Nothing ceases to amaze me anymore. I am such a mess, lol...    I feel like this patch upgrade is going to bring about more noticeable changes. Like I am really in the game now. Like the first part was just a warm up. Maybe not. But that's what it feels like.   So far, no problems with the patch itself (aside for forgetting a couple of times to take the old patch off when I put the new on one. I went a whole day once with a double-patch). Internally I think I am so ready for the next step... Externally, I feel like I am continuing to poke a hornet's nest, a den of scorpions and a mama bear all at the same time.
