    To be fair, I’m cis and happy with my masculinity. But I’d still rather be a beautiful women than a guy who looks like I do.

      I feel like most people are ambivalent towards their gender. I feel like being purely cis or purely trans is more uncommon. But that’s just a feeling I’ve had.

        Yep. I’m 100% immune to this stuff and only sympathise with people suffering from wrong gender dysmorphia. If I was a woman none of my behaviour or perspectives would change, as I have a fairly ungender based view on the world and the role I have on it as a man and women have on it.

        With the obvious exception of romantic relationships.

        What about being cis and have accepted it as part of one’s identity with all the positives and negatives that are included?

        When I then know that you can change your gender and hear about all the ones with dysphoria that gets happy, it mostly seems like a distant world that I can’t fathom.

        Anyway that’s just how I feel.

    Being beautiful is a superpower, disregarding gender. I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of “cis” people who are not conventionally attractive would choose to take this deal purely for the social benefits.

        I mean, I am a nonbinary person who does experience dysphoria. I just suspect that a lot of folks, especially those who don’t understand the consequences, would take the deal purely for perceived social benefits. Would they regret it? Possibly, yeah.

          I agree with you. But even worse, the perceived social benefits of being beautiful aren’t really what you’d expect when you’re actually living it.

            Yeah, a lot of the attention beautiful people (but especially beautiful femme-presenting folks) receive seems actively dangerous.

            Edit: plus, lots of one’s peers will likely attribute all accomplishments to beauty rather than merit, which sucks.

    I think I might have the dumbest gender identity, because I’d smash the hell out of that button but then immediately come out as a trans man.

    Wish it was that simple. Not so much in the US, unless you show no outward signs of being trans and your identity documents also magically transformed and your family and employer don’t remember your AGAB. Friends aren’t an issue since I get to pick those and picked well.
