When I was a young man, a friend said I'd make a cute girl. So, if I could go back to 18 the answer would most likely be yes.

24 hours is hardly a fair trial period for such a life changing choice. That said, as I think it would be life changing and I enjoy my current life. Then the answer is clearly that I would revert back to male after perhaps the happiest 24 hours of my life. But would I? Only those 24 hours would let me know. There was a time when I was younger, when I would definitely have said remain as a female. Oh boy life is complicated and I suspect may always be on a knife edge for those close to the tipping point. As long as I have the love of my life I will remain loyal to her, what ever my personal feelings, we are stronger as a team.
As long as we are fantasizing, I would wake up as a pretty, 30 something, unattached lesbian. I would be girlie with a taste for modest but very feminine clothes. My attraction to women and from women would be intense and satisfying in every way
At different times in my life I would have answered differently. Having 24 hours may have even changed the initial response. Right now I can say without a doubt I'd remain a woman. Being as I live as one now what would really change? I wouldn't need hormones or surgery and to me thays a win.
You made my day :lol2:Quote:

Would you read a book about this?
If everything was the same I would stay female. I'm to old to change now.
If so, try Robert A. Heinlein's classic of half a century ago, I Will Fear No Evil.Quote:

Ideas very willingly accepted, please feel free to share.
Only if i could keep the mind of a crossdresser to remember the thrill i had of dressing, would not want to lose that. Oh the fun x
Wow!! I would throw out all my male clothes and go shopping to fill my closet and drawers up with the prettiest and most feminine clothes
well stated
When I was young, maybe 9 or 10, I would fall asleep wishing this would happen. That I would wake to a reflection in the mirror that was really a girl.
At that age it wasn't because of sex, or even an understanding of what stages of growth a girl would experience.
I just wanted to be a girl!
I'm 99.9% sure I'd remain female! I'd certainly make the most of the 24 hours to help me decide.
It would be a tough one to explain to the coworkers, though. :)

Hi Laurie,
If everything was working then a shag would be my top priority. Would have my work cut out but would love to give it my best shot. I could decide in the afterglow or otherwise.
Shaz
It would depend on how I looked and how I felt about how I looked. If it happened when I was 20 yrs old, I would have never gone back. Pushing 64 yrs old , I don't know.
Not to be a downer But, the way some men treat women SuXXs and my wife said she felt unsafe so many times from things men would yell to her.
I feel if I wear a woman I'd be a lesbian!
I would love to wake up as a woman!!!
Like Judy, if i wake up a women, i probably live with another woman .
Sure I would try it for a day,
But honestly women have a tough life, not sure I could do it full time
They work all day long, come home take care if the kids, cook dinner, do laundry, clean house, ect
Being a woman, is pretty hard work.
But it would be nice to just walk around dressed as I prefer for a day, :thinking:
When I was younger, it was all I wanted to be. Just like June Cleaver!
Today, I wouldn't do it as I got comfortable presenting either gender!
I like the fact I could go "Incognito" to all my male friends and visa versa.
I could be heterosexual and be a loving husband and not being hit on by guys who like my girly attributes.
The girl side likes to escape the rigors of physical manly responsibilities.
I like being pampered in contouring silky clothes, reminiscing about my youth, and being fashionable.
BOTH....suits me fine, during these "Golden Years!"
I kind of have woken up as a woman, and it was interesting. Not a female, but otherwise a woman, in that I literally had a woman's personhood which was quite different from my 'man' person. Manhood seemed so remote that it was not me anymore, and as a woman I wanted to be around men and other women were more drab, in the sense of just being more versions of me - and in the binary cosmos the men were the mysterious and interseting ones.
I felt the gender performance directions very clearly within- the social rules for behavior that took my feminine nature and consolidated it into a second class citizenship, and that was a real bummer. I could literally feel how so many females clearly feel- frequently butting up against the boundaries of how much just ordinary assertiveness is allowed, and the cultural and age-old division of labor in which I existed.
It was strange, since I really no longer felt compelled to fix things, which I vaguely could remember used to be very fun and satisfying. I felt how easy it was to let men run around and do all the active things they do. I felt my emotions perfectly available and yet sort of the badge of being relegated to housework and finding what company and solace could be found with other women.
I felt my body just as a body, and the ordinary worries of wanting to be seen as attractive and desirable, and the burden of chasing youthful cuteness. I felt though a compensatory pride in being able to feel and observe clearly, and that while men were going to make all sorts of mistakes, I might be able to help some be more humane or find an emotional harbor.
I felt my dresses were no longer magic, and that all my clothes were like various messages- and most of them were to myself, and some were going to be successful to others, and many would be subject to wearisome judgment. I accepted all this, since I do identify at core as a woman, but I, having lived as a man, also know how to be a tomboy and navigate better.
I had to pull back out of being a woman for the sake of my wife, but I need to get back - to find a way to go there and return, to salve the chronic pain of separation from my feeling of identity..
Sometimes I think I may be able to rewire my psyche and realize that all the emotions and psyche that were suppressed can be had as a male, and in that world my maleness would be the best companion for the woman I found myself as, as well.
Thinking about the question some more, I?d still probably do it. I?ve always felt an unease within myself like something isn?t matching. I?ve always looked at people with envy knowing they probably have that part figured out. Like maybe if I did I?d be happier or more successful or something because that storm inside makes everything else more difficult to handle.
24 hours is not long enough... being somewhat "in the middle", I would love to see what it would be like but, being 60 and long past the age of being able to truly enjoy being female for the rest of my life... I would not switch. If I was 25 and switched, then give me 3 to 6 months to try it out!
I don't know, it is not that simple! Would I be reasonably attractive, or some 300 pound wildebeest that walks and talks like a truck driver?
A female version of me? Nope! I wouldn't wish that on anyone!
Cindy Crawford? Cheryl Tiegs? Christie Brinkley? With the pose and wardrobe? You bet!
If it were just me, I would say I would stay that way. I could easily adjust. However, being married, I would have to involve my wife in the decision. So that 24 hours would be used to work it out with her, and the decision in the end would be a joint one.
For me while this is one of those hypothetical questions that gets asked from time to time, in truth it touches on some real and important issues.
So let's start with the assumption that you wake as an attractive woman, you but looking more like your twin sister. People would see the family resemblance.
Staying female means you have to re-establish your relationships with loved ones, friends, work colleagues. The scenario as posted doesn't guarantee that that will all go smoothly. Suddenly work, your career, can develop a glass ceiling, you might find you get paid less.
People you know, you thought you got on well with might suddenly engage far less, give you the cold shoulder.
These are real issues faced by those wishing to transition and many will tell you it's the hardest part of the whole process.
I suspect that if the what if was changed to you have to spend 5 weeks as a female and as this is hypothetical you get to experience the not so appealing aspects, many might come to a different conclusion.
Interesting thoughts of reality Helen. And of course there would be an adjustment in learning to deal with men, socially, sexually etc.
Just go with it! Do what you have to do! The rest of MY life will be as a woman! LOL Hugs Lana Mae
Would be abit confusing but i guess I'd finally learn what being a woman is really like.
A few factors to ponder,,,, to do it today, in my mid 50's, beard and body hair wouldn't grow, and I could start life somewhere that no one knew me to be a man before; very likely I would do it.
I've questioned how men can flaunt their sexuality (?) and how a woman can by showing some cleavage, wearing makeup, changing hair style, showing some leg. I'm a bigger guy and notice how the ladies that are a bit larger can still look very "attractive" by showing their features I described. I wear jeans and a button shirt for a uniform, would wear the same thing if a woman, but a bit of makeup, change of hairstyle and some bigger breasts projecting under my shirt, would be nice.
Because it's fun
And you, Laurie103, what you would do?
I've gotten the question a lot -- "what would YOU do"? I'm going to call bullshit and say that if we're speculating in the nonsensical -- I'd rather it be to the point where I can choose my sex at any time. There'd be a choice. I think that's the only way I'd be balanced. I'm not trans, but sometimes I want to be.
I?d be shocked at first and would check to make sure I didn?t fall asleep in my breast forms!
Well if you are "trans", what are you doing about it? Are you considering surgery? Living as a woman? Having your sex legally changed?Quote:

I have actually been having this same fantasy. Waking up one morning with a woman's body. In my fantasy I text my wife (who would be at the gym) and explain it to her so she wouldn't be shocked when she came home. Of course when she does come home I would have to show her.
So my answer is, I would stay female for the rest of my life. It would be hard to explain to my children and grandchildren and of course to friends and associates. This would have to be some known medical condition.
QUESTION: What if I woke up as a woman?
ANSWER: Well, if that happened then I could no longer be called a cross dresser.
Tee hee hee :battingeyelashes:
Sounds like a dream come true. As long as I look better, and weight 75 to 80 pounds less too.
"A woman".. which one? They're all different.
There is no such thing as a woman version of me as i have 42 years of being a man under my belt. A genetic experience, an in utero experience of hormonal activity...
If i woke with my mind in a woman's body i'd be putting all sorts of other things in it to... i wouldnt be getting dressed i know that muc haha.
Beard? There's always the Conchita Wurst look!!! 👠😊Quote:

I think that answers that... teehee
What a wonderful and fun fantasy! Thank you so much for this opportunity to enjoy a few minutes of pure bliss. 😘
In my fantasy, it's just me but with hair, breasts, vagina, no body hair and appropriate fat distribution. It's not right to think you will be a movie star.Quote:

I'd truly enjoy waking up as a woman, but much as described by Krisi. Not sure I'd want to stay that way permanently, just because it would feel so oddly foreign, but if I knew I'd revert back I feel like it would leave me with amazing insights into what being a woman is really all about. Something I'll never know otherwise. Thanks for the fantasy!
A life of skirts, dresses, hoisery in colder weather and where practical, heels without looking like a cumbersome bloke in drag. That's a lot of problems solved.
I'm thinking of a certain episode of X-Files where this Amish community could flip between being male and female. Choose depending on the mood.
Sue.
This question raised another question?would I recall my past or be starting over? Remember the movie Heaven Can Wait with Julie Christie and Warren Beatty? In the end he returns as someone else, but won?t remember who he was before. As far as I was concerned, he stopped being himself when he was unable to recall his former existence. Or would this be like in the old Tom Hanks movie, Big?and I would recall being a kid, but be stuck in an adult body. Two very different circumstances. If I was to become someone else, with no past recollections, it seems to me that the current me would cease to exist. If I was to wake up in a woman?s body, would it be a newly minted variation of myself and if so, how the heck would I explain it?
Sue - thanks for the heads up on that X-Files episode. I'd love to watch that again now that I'll have a rather different slant on things!
For me, waking up as a woman might comparable to the dog that chased cars. What's to be done when you finally catch one? Most certainly, I'd be runover by another car while standing dumbfounded in the fast lane. It was fun while it lasted though!
