In Celestia's day! In Luna's night! Nopony shall escape my sight! Let those who worship Nightmare's might, Beware the Elements of Harmony's light!
I would freak out but after gathering all the info, then it maybe not so bad. I do like the idea of being female as it is, so I may not even freak out for long. Yay for being femi!
I actually did have a dream about this the other night! After the initial shock of losing my "friends" (I'll let you figure that out), I would probably do like most guys in that situation... check out my new female body and find out how a few things work and how they feel. I'd hope I was sexy too. Always thought it would be a fun experience for a few days.
Boy, I gotta tell you the men in this crowd (including myself) seem quite fixated on looks. I'm vein to begin with, so yeah. I'd be taking a lot of notes. The experience would be invaluable. But I'd be sad the experience started now and I didn't get a chance to get the full-on childhood and developmental years. I'm not saying it would be fun, just informative from a writer's perspective. My wife would not like it, even if she swapped genders, too. So I'd prefer a 30-seconds-equal-to-a-life-experience like Jean Juc Picard got in "The Inner Light". But then again, you can never get exactly what you wish for, so I'm thankful the laws of physics don't permit this. But maybe if it did, and it happened more or less randomly and frequently across an individual life, there might be less gender issues. Experience is a generator of compassion. What would a society look like if this happened all the time? Maybe something like in The Left Hand of Darkness?
Me? Um.. Well, I would probably kick myself in the balls. Then, if I ever changed back to female, I'd have a kid. Then compare. It would answer the age old question, which hurts more?
I'm pretty sure you already know the answer to that. A good clean kick in the balls doesn't require hospitalization after the fact. Nor is there a danger of dying. A kick in the balls just gets you a few minutes of groaning before people start telling you to quit whining.
If I were male, I would probably not get a lot of attention on the Internet. I would actually like that.
If I were a female... 1.Freak out. 2.Realize how cute I am. 3.Freak out. 4.Take a selfie for later use. 5.Actually feel great for being a girl. 6.Go to school and be a hot girl. 7.Have guys to like me. 8.Rethink. 9.Use the toilet and realize something really terrible about girls and their biology. 10.Started to think this is the worst nightmare ever.
You guys ask the darndest things... I'd be OK. I think the one thing that would freak me out more than anything is having to explain to my family and friends that I've suddenly changed genders and they'd have to get used to that. Otherwise? Umm...I'd be me? I barely care about what I'm supposed to do as a man, I doubt being a woman would make all that much difference. The only issue is that I'd pretty much be a living, breathing Twilight Sparkle. I'm already smart, love to learn things, bit of a shut in and would require my very own Rarity to make sure I don't look too bad when I walk out the door. I get the feeling my usual 'throw on whatever's clean/doesn't smell too bad' style of dressing doesn't work as well for women. I'd also likely be trying to figure out how the process worked. And so would every single biology student I know.
Um, a hard enough kick to the wedding vegetables can definitely result in hospitalization; It's a very sensitive area and should not be kicked. I agree that it probably doesn't compare to childbirth though. As to the original question, I guess I'd carry on as usual; probably shave the beard off though XD On a slightly more serious note, I drive a car that sort of has cult status over here, and people (usually guys) come up and talk to me about it sometimes, and I have sometimes wondered if they'd do the same if I were a girl, or whether they'd just be put off/assume I don't know anything about it, so it might be interesting to have an answer to that.
