  1. 1. If FTMs and MTFs could trade bodies with a 50% survival rate, would you take the risk?

Hypothetically, if it were possible for an FTM and MTF to trade bodies, but the survival rate is only 50% (You have a 50% chance of dying); would you do it? Discuss why.

No I would not take that chance...that is too much to loose....though I feel like I would die if I did not change bodies...but if that was my choice no I would not...I will adjust as I am doing now....

I can definitely see how the answers will vary, depending on how far along in transition people are, and if they have any loved ones in their lives.

I voted yes, because I don't put much value on my life, I guess. I also don't have much hope for this world. Who knows when all the systems will collapse, or when terrorists finally win, or when our economy is too far gone. I also hate my height and my shoulders. Things I can't change, so it would be worth the risk to me.

I would, for me in all honesty if I had a chance to live properly it's worth the chance of death. If I could live real instead of as close to real as I can get I would take that chance, to me it's worth the risk. Though since now this isn't possible I'll go with what I can do to change and what I am doing. ^_^

no. i think there is something to be said for the one who plays the hand s/he is dealt, no matter how "unfortunate" the outcome may seem. emphasis on the SEEM...because due to our perception, things may not always BE as "horrible" as they appear. but to view them through another lens, we may gain insight into how to deal with our current situation. we have the power to change much more in our surroundings than we initially think. perception is just ONE of the keys.

hrm..i ranted a little. :blush: my bad.

No. If it was between that and living with my current body, I might, but I would rather just transition. I want my male body, not just any one. I will not take that much of a risk to be taller with satisfactory genitals.

if it could be my male body i would do it

but i don't want to get stuck with some random body

so i've gotta say no

No no, not like that. Not randomly. You and an MTF would match up or find each other then agree to trade. Heck, maybe they'd make a dating service type thing out of it if it were real. People could browse ads for the type of body, hair, eyes and etc they want. This random idea of mine is evolving out of control, lol. I originally thought of it because an FTM friend of mine said "I'll trade you" and I've seen other people say it on this board. I just wanted to add a moral dilemma so I added the survival rate. It's been interesting seeing people's votes and reasons so far.

I value life too much...so no.... I would assume this was a science based enhancement so waiting does give chances for them to improve survival rates...but I guess I'm dodging the question.

i voted no because no matter what my body says i am a girl and i would live the same way anyway.=) and if i were to take that chance and it went wrong i would never be whole where as if transition and have srs and get on hrt it is harder but more rewarding imo. and with al that i will be almost as whole as a regular female.

Question: with the 50% survival rate, is it just you who would die or would both you and the other person you switched with die?

I thought of that as well. It'd be selfish if each person had their own survival rate. It would also be sad if were you the person that lived and your old body died. The chances of both people living would only be 50% of 50%, which would also be sad. I'd say you live together or die together!

First of all, the whole question is subjective; I'm seeing this as more of a brain transplant than anything. It's debatable whether something called a "soul" exists or not. (Even if it did, how would you transplant it? It doesn't seem to be tangible.)

Assuming a successful brain transplant could even BE done, there would be a huge risk of organ rejection... so, no, the whole thing seems futile to me, even if the results were perfect.

No, I wouldn't do it. Life is 100% fatal, in the end. I wouldn't do anything to risk shortening my life. Even though I wish some pretty big things are different, I definitely want to hang around.

I'm waiting for research with stem cells and such to advance enough to grow me the right parts. I don't want someone else's body. I want to fix mine!!

I really like that perspective. I've learned a lot from everyone's answers here and I enjoy reading them.

:rolleyes: If there was a site where you could meet with a MTF and FTM I would just act as if I wanted to go through with it, and then I'll use my incredibly smooth, manipulative, and debonair techniques to eventually hook up with the person :lol:

Guest Keiichi-kun

I voted no. I have not lived 18 years just t take that huge of a risk. Transitioning is important and all but it would hurt others around me to see me dead like that.

I already feel like i am dieing inside this body as it is now, so the chance to be whole and pure would be worth it to me. There has been many nights i have dreamed this was possible and i did it everytime.

i voted yes without hesitation. it's funny you would even bring this up because i thought of this often when i was younger. hey, a girl can dream can't she. i've aready lived a half a century, sounds like a long time, doesn't it, and i've pretty much lived my life. i so dislike this prison i'm in that death might be sweet release from my miserable existence if i didn't survive. :( and if i did suvive, i could finially get on with my life. :)

      No.  You are getting stuck on one statement and pulling it out of context.   Trans kids have rights, but so do non-trans kids.  That conflict is best worked out in the individual situation. 
    • MaeBe
      I get the concept, I believe. You're trying to state that trans kids need to or should be excluded from binary gender spaces and that you acknowledge that answers to accommodate those kids may not be found through policy. I disagree with the capability of "penetration" as being the operative delimiter in the statement, however. I contest this statement is poorly chosen at best and smacks of prejudice at worst. That it perpetuates certain stereotypes, whether that was the intent or not.   Frankly, all kids should have the right to privacy in locker rooms, regardless of gender, sexuality, or anatomy. They should also have access to exercise and activities that other kids do and allow them to socialize in those activities. The more kids are othered, extracted, or barred from the typical school day the more isolated and stigmatized they become. That's not healthy for anyone, the excluded for obvious reasons and the included for others--namely they get to be the "haves" and all that entails.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Context.  Read the context.  Good grief.
    • MaeBe
      Please don't expect people to read manifold pages of fiction to understand a post.   There was a pointed statement made, and I responded to it. The statement used the term penetration, not "dissimilar anatomy causing social discomfiture", or some other reason. It was extended as a "rule" across very different social situations as well, locker and girl's bedrooms. How that term is used in most situations is to infer sexual contact, so most readers would read that and think the statement is that we "need to keep trans girl's penises out of cis girls", which reads very closely to the idea that trans people are often portrayed as sexual predators.   I understand we can't always get all of our thoughts onto the page, but this doesn't read like an under-cooked idea or a lingual short cut.

      I shopped online in the beginning of transition. I had great success with SHEIN and Torrid!

      Have you read the rest of what I wrote?   Please read between the lines of what I said about high school.  Go over and read my Taylor story.  Put two and two together.   That is all I will say about that.

      "I feel like I lost my husband," Lois told the therapist,"I want the man I married." Dr. Smith looked at Odie, sitting there in his men's clothing, looking awkward and embarrassed. "You have him.  This is just a part of him you did not know about. Or did not face." She turned to Odie,"Did you tear my wedding dress on our wedding night?" He admitted it.  She had a whole catalog of did-you and how-could you.  Dr. Smith encouraged her to let it all out. Thirty years of marriage.  Strange makeup in the bathroom.  The kids finding women's laundry in the laundry room. There was reconciliation. "What do we do now?" Dr. Smith said they had to work that out.  Odie began wearing women's clothing when not at work.  They visited a cross-dressers' social club but it did not appeal to them.  The bed was off limits to cross dressing.  She had limits and he could respect her limits.  Visits to relatives would be with him in men's clothing.    "You have nail polish residue," a co-worker pointed out.  Sure enough, the bottom of his left pinky nail was bright pink  His boss asked him to go home and fix it.  He did.   People were talking, he was sure, because he doubted he was anywhere as thorough as he wanted to be.  It was like something in him wanted to tell everyone what he was doing, and he was sloppy.   His boss dropped off some needed paperwork on a Saturday unexpectedly and found Odie dressed in a house dress and wig.  "What?" the boss said, shook his head, and left.  None of his business.   "People are talking," Lois said. "They are asking about this," she pointed to his denim skirt. "This seems to go past or deeper than cross dressing."   "Yes.  I guess we need some counseling."  And they went.

      Mine would be SHEIN as much as I have bought from them lol.

      This is the persistence in thinking of trans girls as predators and, as if, they are the only kind of predation that happens in locker rooms. This is strikingly close to the dangerous myth that anatomy corresponds with sexuality and equates to gender.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      At the same time there might be mtf boys who transitioned post-puberty who really belong on the girls' teams because they have more similarities there than with the boys, would perform at the same level, and might get injured playing with the bigger, stronger boys.   I well remember being an androgynous shrimp in gym class that I shared with seniors who played on the football team.  When PE was no longer mandatory, I was no longer in PE. They started some mixed PE classes the second semester, where we played volleyball and learned bowling and no longer mixed with those seniors, boys and girls together.

      People love bureaucracy.  It makes everything cut and dried, black and white, and often unjust, unmerciful, wasteful and downright stupid.
    • Ivy
      This is why a blanket policy can never be fair.  Everything is not black and white.
