  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. :)

      Thanks, @VickySGVfor some truth. Hatred may speak loudly in a political agenda, but there is always love, there is always love.

      Doesn't this belong over in the Humor Topic??  Grim humor I admit, but it has the dark humor picture of the folks protesting the Sacramento Sanctuary Laws.  If the world is going to end next week why are these people so concerned about someone staying fertile and able to have children??   Crazy.
    • VickySGV
      Once again the opposition is telling scary, unfounded  baloney about what IS being done to any Trans Person.  The truth about the very little and very cautious treatments just will not sink into them because it will sink them.  They bully their own Cis children unmercifully to fit into their molds, and that is gruesome in itself. I am happy to say I know that Trans children and all Trans folks in the area have access to wonderful care based on what some of my former State colleagues who have Trans family members and fellow employees there in Sacramento keep telling me about.

      good for you dear. my guess is soreness is good sign things are going on there. water them n hope. smiles   actually was speaking to someone other day n they said the growth leveled off after a few years  which coincided with a few years of very high stress..n then when the high stress resolved, she grew another cup size..
    • missyjo
      darling I completely agree. but it will need road testing I'd think.    and I recently asked a surgeon about an idea I had for easier recovery...do a zero depth 1st..recover then add a canal..he said NO. this surgery is hard enough on body to recover, do not do it any more than needed. also said penile inversion usually is sufficient n includes a few centimeters of perineum tissue anyway..so keep the perineum pull through as a reserve technique in case there is a problem with theb penile inversion.    hugs to any who want them

      I can't tell from the article if being trans was part of the motivation for the crime, or whether it was simply incidental to it. Clearly at least one of the perpetrators was known to the victim, which seems to continue the pattern that the most dangerous people for us are often people we know.  😒
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Beans, beans, the musical fruit...   But beans and rice make a complete protein, and a pretty cheap base for any sort of meal. Since two of my partners are Hispanic and one is Asian, we use a lot of rice. Plenty of beans too, although 90% of the time they are on the form of black-eyed peas. That crop grows really well in the South no matter how hot and dry it gets.  And the Native American trio of corn, beans, and squash is a classic.  Actually, those ingredients tend to show clearly whether kids were raised with a healthy diet or not. Kids raised eating those foods luke them. Kids raised without experiencing those foods tend to reject them immediately. Rather strange.

      I feel a little better about going outside. I got my EpiPen just in case of an emergency. Today was rough started euphoric and then depression hit real hard and I don't even know what it was about. It just happened. I want to see a bright future but it turns dim because of something. I was disappointed on how much supplemental insurance was more than regular health insurance. I enjoy seeing other successful people making it as a couple through everything in fact I cheer them on but it just makes me think if I will find anyone. I barely dated anyone when I was physically fit male and then it seems the older I get it gets harder. Not to mention everyone down here leaves as soon as they find out I'm trans. It's only going to get more difficult because of borderline personality disorder. It's dang near seems impossible that people would even put up with that. After all that I'm still trying to be positive and hope for the best but I always expect the worst and that has always been the case. Pushing 40 and I haven't even experienced true love.

      Good afternoon everyone,    I’ve been working in the shop and preparing a few training props for shipping. So my responses and activity here has been very slow. I’m doing well just real tired.    Hugs,    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      That’s good news, listen to your doctors and your body. You may be asked to start a daily exercise routine and walking around the neighborhood. The worst thing you can do is become sedentary and laying around.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
