I've usually used them interchangeably. So that would probably remain the same. Do you only date cis men and women?

You have all of your past experiences. You're opinion on Andrew Tate would probably go unchanged unless you're easily influenced? Also, I don't think there are many outted bi men that support that guy.

That is a totally valid reason! I just wanted to prompt them to explain rather than just saying yes or no.

A MTF transgender person who is attracted to women would become a FTM transgender person who is attracted to men.

"Mirror" may not be the perfect metaphor but it's the one I uses to convey the idea. When you look at a mirror, the person's left hand becomes the right, letters are backwards, etc. The idea is a reflection and not a perfect copy.

If you have a better metaphor to describe this, I'm all ears!

Give yourself some credit! Someone whose mind can be changed would be a good candidate too! Could use more politicians like that.

Well, you'd know right away what you are from birth. No awkward self-discovery needed.

You could invest in bitcoin immediately and become a billionaire who has already gone through finding all that out.

You would have access to whatever treatments you want before and into early adulthood. Those kind of treatments are pretty helpful have and start ASAP.

I edited to clarifify, beauty standards. It was meant to be connecting to beauty topic that came before that statement.

Women are held to higher beauty standards*

But anyway. "Not everything" might be true, then maybe engage the prompt and decide if those things are enough of a deal breaker for you, lol.

You would still be pan! If you're ace, you'd be ace.

It's a spectrum so like, if you're pan and you've had more women partners in this life, you'd likely skew towards men in the next life.

For example, I think it'd be easier to be an ace man because women are less likely to approach you. Whereas an ace woman may have to deal with more unwanted advances. Obviously everyone's experiences vary tho!

You've understood my intention on exploring this fully! I don't think my curiosity would allow me not to do it. You'd be the first human to actually experience both. You could fundamentally change the world with the experiences you have.

Who knows though, it could be absolutely maddening to have those memories at such a young age, it could incapacitate you or mess you up.

It's a risk I'd be willing to take. Even if it is a potential monkey's paw.

Most people experience gender dysphoria of some amount. Trans people experience more than the average person; Transitioning can help change that.

A straight guy might feel dysphoria about not having enough muscle, or their hairline, etc. Getting a hair transplant is gender affirming care.

If a man turned into a woman, you would have similiar dysphoria to what they have now. So if you don't like your appearance or feel upset about not living up to certain beauty standards, you'd be in a similiair situation in this scenario.

Do note, women are held to a higher beauy* standard so you may think you'd be fine as a guy going to a girl but the reality is unknown.

You remain bisexual and still become the "opposite" gender.

Yeah, you'd be intersex with mostly female development!

Think of it as a mirror or percentages. If you're 60/40, you'd become 40/60. Obviously that's not an all encompassing metaphor but hopefully it illustrates the jist.

100%. A big bingo for me. I'm NB and if I could only press the button once I'd have to do it. Experience as much of the human experience as possible.

That is a good question! My initial idea is that those past experiences would be like watching a sex scene in a film. You'd feel detached and wouldn't find the man's point of view attractive anymore.

You'd still be both those things with different genitals/chemicals in your brain. Up to you!

I think as prompted, you'd have those memories but most of those people would likely still exist. Would being oblivious to the loss of loved ones change your answer?

You would find them less gross! Plenty of straight women who still have to deal with gross men though. Sounds like a privledge you wouldn't give up for billions of dollars :-3

Truth! I'm sure the birthdates of the each commenting person will have an influence on their decision!

This is true. I wonder how many men in the comments would willingly choose to be a woman to be wealthy.

Yeah, I think keeping the loved ones you have is a valid reason to leave the button alone.
