Not really a man (Agender and Intersex) but I am Male so I feel like I can answer this one.
I have a developmental condition which affects my body’s ability to produce androgens so for me I wouldn’t be much different aside from genitals since I never finished puberty and likely wouldn’t have then either.
Not as big of a setback or difference than it would be for someone else but not being able to pee while standing would be a very big negative for me and I’m not really sure what I would do about that (probably get a Phalloplasty so I can pee properly again).
If I woke up as female, I am Agender so I’m not a woman because I do not identify as one. Essentially though yes, yes I would, because even though I am Agender having a penis is something that feels right for me.
I know that I’m going to get shit for this from people who don’t understand why something like this is important to me, but I’m used to it, NonBinary identities are much less recognized and often stigmatized (even in safe spaces 😔).
With what? I stated that I am not transfem and that if the circumstance in question happened to me it would make me unhappy and I would take steps to reverse it. Not really much more to say to that.
I’d agree with you if the question was “Men of lemmy, what would you do if you woke up female for one day”. But that wasn’t the question. As it stands the question could just as easily mean that one day they wake up female and then are female for the rest of their lives. It’s ambiguous, but personally I did not interpret the question as for only a single day.
I… don’t really know? I legit don’t know whether I’d feel dysphoria if I woke up in a female body unless it happened. I don’t feel dysphoria in my current body but I like crossdressing and I’m not really that attached to the notion that I’m a man.
You sound similar to me, I’ve never thought much about gender and I dress very GNC (Gender-Nonconforming). Though I’m not sure I wouldn’t feel anything negative considering that the lack of a penis would negatively affect my life.
Also ignoring other feminine features because due to my genetic condition they probably wouldn’t be present anyway (Have a condition that affects my sexual development and essentially prevented me from going through puberty).
I’d probably have to go through the long process of transitioning back as well as all the financial, legal, and medical problems associated with it, which would probably include immigration to a place where it’s easier.
At the very least I am androgynous so it probably wouldn’t take as long for me to get back to at least close to how I am but it would still suck.
That’s an optimistic outlook by the way, I’m not going to discuss pessimistic/realistic because it’s sad, unpleasant, and may trigger people.
I kind of agree, the comments about masturbating to one’s self are a bit gross and kind of feel like they are fetishizing trans people, not cool people, not cool.
It is in general considered pretty disrespectful to fetishize transness, because it almost portrays trans people as if they are sex objects, as opposed to real people who should be treated with dignity and respect.
Fetishising trans people is bad. But if you’re trying to say people are wrong for having gender transformation based fetishes, you’ve completely lost the line here. It’s a complex topic, but you’re denying people’s sexual expression by saying it’s “not ok” to fetishize anything about gender. Which is just an absurd take. Someone can be trans and be sexually aroused by the idea of having sex and/or masturbating as a female. Or they might not be trans but still have that sexual fantasy. That’s totally normal and isn’t “fetishizing trans people”
I suppose I should give the context that I recently discovered I’m trans/nonbinary. So being able to transition without the risks inherent in hormones and surgery, and to transition more completely than any of those, would be cause for me for celebration.
That is true I’m only saying it’s not needed to like feminine clothes or that liking feminine clothes doesn’t automatically make someone trans (only identifying as trans makes someone trans), I know a lot of Femboys who enjoy it while still identifying as male (myself included).
Not saying that they can’t be or certainly aren’t trans.
Try out for the WNBA. I’d be one of the tallest and no one would think about driving the lane on me. I’d be a white Dennis rodman of the league. Easily be the best rebounder of all time.
