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.

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.

If you push it then the women will pretend to support you but bitch behind your back.

Men will give you much more attention, but not necessarily any more support.

The real answer is to act like everyone else has already pushed this button.

Wait, the rules said you WILL get support. I want the whole deal, of course, not just the beauty.

I agree it's good to act like it's happened to everyone.

Girl, I have some news from the future: this isn't as much of a joke as you think...

Also, browsing by top/all gets wild when I find posts I don't remember....

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.
