If You Had A Choice...body Or Brain

[Guest Little Sara]

Body pill here, no doubt in my mind.

And yes even if I was both a late bloomer and resistant to testosterone. It didn't remove those feelings.

[Guest Irielle]

It's a good question and an easy answer - I choose the pink pill to change my body. But there's a catch -

I'm androgyne, and my genders are about 75% female/ 25% male. I can't wait to see what kind of body that would be!

I wouldn't want to change my brain, I have too much going for me the way it is. And to change my brain and be totally male? Yuck.

[Guest Emily.SoCal]

I would definitely choose the body pill. I need the body pill. My body is such a mismatch to my gender that sometimes wish there was a mind pill I could take to make this all go away.

...you know, now I don't know what my answer would be. I just want this all over with. And the mind pill seems more realistic.

[Guest Eagledancer]

This one is easy for me. I do believe I was made in the image of my Creator...meaning mind and spirit only as the Creator is formless. If I ventured to change anything, it would be the one thing I will not take with me - my body. Since I believe in Kharma and re-incarnation, I would be a fool to suggest changing something I will have to deal with in another life! It was an interesting question, and I appreciate the thought behind it. I will add that I would like to see a study and a list of adverse effects first. I wouldn't take it if it left me with headaches, stomachaches, arthritis, fatigue, arrythmias, rectal leakage, vaginal irritation, vaginal dryness, constipation, rhinorrhea, diarrhea, etc....lol. Oddly, the list of side effects of most drugs suddenly makes me feel EXTREMELY healthy!!! Again, I enjoyed the idea.

[Guest Snowflake]

I'd take the pill to mach my body to my mind ^^.

Teehee I sure love magic ^^.

[Guest April63]

I don't which one I would take. I'll just remain here for now.

Body... or brain? Well, quite honestly I think I would change my body. Changing my brain would change who I am, and I would really rather be myself

[Guest Naomi Stardust]

it's a slow and sometimes back sliding process

but i'm finally starting to like myself for who i am

i used to think of that a lot when i was younger

what i came up with is this:

if i liked being male

i wouldn't be me

changing my brain would be the same as suicide

or more like killing me and replacing me with an evil twin

i think i'd prefer actual suicide and maintain being myself rather than becoming a farce of who i am

i've tried being something i'm not and learned to hate myself because of it

but even then, i valued something that i called 'me'

you don't hate things that are irrelevant to you, it takes a lot of energy to hate, you can only hate what you 'care' about

that might be more profound than i intended

body 100% no hesitation

[Guest Felicia Anne]

i would change my birth sex. i really would love to know what it is it have estrogen pumping through my brains, and to have a 100% female body. but more to the point, i am afraid of having my mind altered. i am terrified of something happening to my mind that would result in part of my soul being lost forever...

(shaking and hiding under the bed...)

[Guest amie]

Gimme the pill that changes my bod to match my brain.

In fact, gimme two of 'em, I wanna eat one...then crush the other up and snort it. Heehee!

Just kidding. I couldn't resist.

I do wanna swallow one though...Or maybe I'll eat it if it taste like a Flinstone Vitamin???

I wanna chase that little gem down with a tall glass of Remy Martin!!!

If I had my druthers, I'd chase it down with King Louie 13th.

That stuffs like $120 a shot in a decent bar.

[Guest Thresa_XD]

I'd take the one to change my body. No sense in destroying my soul just yet.

[Guest RainBird]

Considering my brain is already female, I would choose a body for sure, it would be nice to see a body that matched who I am.

[Guest mia 1]

Succinctly stated Jacci. well said for the me and many other folks at Laura's except for the guys' who would interchange MALE.

[Guest ~Brenda~]

I ask this question because even though I’m now totally at peace with my minds eye ie my true self, in the past I wished I could just be a ‘normal’ male-my mind matching my birth sex.

I have no regrets and I’m content with who I am now-but when I first became aware of my dysphoria [questioning my gender identity] if I ‘d had a choice I would have preferred to feel ‘normal’ in my original body form..

Now I realise some trans people might be thinking how could I say that…I suppose there are different levels of Benjamin’s Syndrome and for some from a very young age they were totally convinced they were born in the 'wrong' body…However for myself I didn’t feel this…I just felt different-not feeling like a bone fide boy-but not knowing why.

Puberty for me was no big deal-I was a late developer and perhaps being somewhat androgynous well into my late teens might have eased my gender dysphoric state.[at the time my mind was also pre-occupied with my mixed race identity...a double whammy]

So my ‘food for thought’ question is…If you had a choice in the form of two magic pills ie, one would change your mind the other which would change your body…which one would you choose or would have chosen…your brain sex or your birth sex?

Hi Jendar,

That question is easy for me to answer. If I had a pill, I would chose the one that changed my body to where I wanted itto be. My brain is already there. Choosing a pill to change my mind would result in a deep unhappiness without any recourse of resolution. I would know something is not quite right still, but unable to identify what it is. Change the body!

[Guest ~Brenda~]

i'd change the body because in my opinion(this is just my opinion so no one get offended)there would be nothing worse than living my life as female.

Marco,

Can we swap identities? For me there is nothing worse than living my life as a male!!!!. I aggree, changing the body is the way to go!!

[Guest Alyssa Leigh]

I would choose the pill that would change my body, because i worked to hard for the knowlege that i have.

[Guest N. Jane]

I like who I am and who I have become but if there was a magic pill to change the body, I would have taken it at age 8 and grown up as a normal girl/woman. I know that part of who I became is because of the adversities I lived through and I would have been a much different person without the trials and tribulations but they did take a toll.

Maybe next time around I can just have a normal life from the beginning.

[Guest Leigh]

i'd change the body because in my opinion(this is just my opinion so no one get offended)there would be nothing worse than living my life as female.

ditto. i would defiantly have to take the pill that makes my body match my brain. and, with the way my brothers look, i doubt i'd be disappointed... lol.

it would just take so much pain and struggle out of my life. but, the fact is, we can't go back, so...

my (little) sister was asking me the other day, if i could go back in time, what age would i go back to. to me these are just teasing questions. i would redo the whole thing if i could, and if i could do it as male, hell yes, i'd do it as male. but i can't, and in some ways, i'd rather not think about the possibility of going back, because i just need to move forward now.

it is a fun question though

love&peace

If I were a can of clam chowder, but my label said beans and franks, I would want the label changing pill. I know . . . I'm crazy . . . .

Great answer!

[Guest Valerie]

pink pill for me

[Guest 1charlotte1]

Change my body! I have been this way as long as memory has been. I spent many nights between kindergarten and fifth grade praying for god to change my body. To be honest, until now I really hadn't even considered having a male soul... Does this mean I'm a severe case? Idk. All I know is that I have one option! Normal male is not it!!

Hugz, Charlotte

[Guest Sophie H]

Definitely would choose body, i wouldn't want to change my mind about anything

[Guest amie]

I’m still rollin’ with the pill that changes my body. I feel that thinkin’ more deeply at this point in my life would only bring me more pain. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

With the right body I could have the treatment I’ve always desired. I’m smart enough to function decently, or so I feel enough to make this question a no-brainer.

Give me the bod of Sheena Easton in her prime over the brain of an MIT Honor Student any blankin’ day of the week.

[Guest Melanieshaman]

I hope it's ok that i necro this thread (sorry gamer humor-meaning bring back from the 'dead')... but body pill all the way, while i was an "early" bloomer you might say, my mind has never fit the male role... or however you wanna put it. I was born with a girl's mind, now i just need the exterior to match the interior.
