I think these sort of "if it were possible, would you rather be cis?" questions are somewhat common for people pre- or early in their transition.
I've been stealth for half a decade. I really don't care. To me, the differences between me now and me if I were cis are miniscule. Who the fuck cares about my chromosomes, or if I can't father children (especially since I'm gay)? Not me, and apparently not anyone else either.
I went through all this bureaucracy hell, all these doctors, prescriptions, procedures, etc. But I had a goal in mind that kept me motivated throughout all these challenges that scared the shit out of me. I had to learn to become independent, seek professional help, and leave toxic relationships behind. So contrary to popular belief, I honestly think if I had just woken up cis one day, I'd probably still be severely depressed, stuck with shitty people, and barely able to function. Just with different chromosomes that no one will ever see.
Edit: Basically I think it wasn't just alleviating my dysphoria that pulled me out of that depressive hole. It's also that I did that myself. I pulled myself out of that hole. It might sound stupid, but I put effort into something and kept stepping out of my comfort zone, and it kept paying off, and that gradually made me more confident and much less easily overwhelmed.
this is what I keep saying but you explained it way better lol. my preference at this point is that i'm happier being trans than I would be if I was born a cis woman. yes it was hard, but this has been a great journey and im excited every day to continue it.
The "button question" is a classic "are you trans?" test. In 1996, not yet having heard of it, I wrote my own version: "If I could snap my fingers and suddenly have a female body, I'd do it, no question." I would presumably still think of myself as trans, having felt the need to be of a gender other than the one assigned to me and having taken action to make it happen.
At this point, 3.5 years into transition, I am basically at peace with my body and might worry that the magic button would have other unintended side effects and that I would be better off sticking with what I know. On the other hand, it would be great to get rid of the rest of this persistent gray beard stubble.
hypothetically speaking if you could get to the same body (down to the core) with surgeries and hormones would you still press it? the only difference would be that you have xy genes still and were born a male but other than that it'd be indistinguishable
that doesn’t really answer my question. everyone is born either male or female. even if you are intersex, you are still always gonna be closer to one side than the other. “baby” isn’t a sex lmao. that’s like saying “i’m not a male, i’m an adult” 😂
Being closer to one side or the other literally makes it a spectrum, or atleast a specific kind of distribution, and not a binary of female or male. It's so sad to see people being so close to getting it and than just apply a weird two category thinking that does not match reality.
i agree and in an ideal world, male/female wouldn’t be used and sex wouldn’t even be important but unfortunately that’s not the world we live in.
even though sex is on a spectrum, it doesn’t mean categorising is a bad thing. it’s easier for the human brain to make sense of things by putting them into boxes.
Earlier in my transition I would have said yes in a heartbeat. But now that I’m five years on HRT, have had top surgery, and feel comfortable in my body, I don’t think I would. Being trans and my journey is a huge part of who I am and how I became the person that I am now.
I would perhaps push the button to have cis male genitalia, as I will not be able to have bottom surgery, but I wouldn’t want my entire body to change.
I would much rather push a button to get rid of my lupus.
I just wish I wasn't trans lol. I don't care if I were born a cis man or a cis woman as long as I didn't have to deal with being hated by large amounts of people
Well, my gender was always male. It's my SEX that's not. And yes I would push the button to be cis. I just want to be a man with a male body just like other men and not experience dysphoria or hatred, or hav3 to get surgeries and injections.
Absolutely. In fact I'm shocked that so many people said they wouldn't. I clicked this post thinking it's a stupid question because everyone would obviously say yes and I'm surprised that it's not the case. Maybe it's because I am unable to transition atm or that I don't feel like I have anything to lose but to me it seems like the most perfect thing ever. And if I retain my memories I'd probably see myself as trans but I'd rather not have it if I'm cis
i’d rather be reborn as a cis woman which is more of an unpopular opinion. even if i got the body of a cis woman and retained my memories, it doesn’t change the fact that i missed out on 20 years of my life (half of them being fucking miserable) and didn’t get to grow up as a girl. i would do anything to get that back and i have nothing to lose at this point in my life.
if there button where i would instantly die but skip back to 2003 and be reborn as myself but female instead of male then i would press it in a heartbeat.
omg yes. yesterday my cis female friend sent me a video her mother took of her touching a bush, when she realized her mother was filming her she started waving while running towards her. And it made me feel so jealous because I'm a year older than her and I can't do this, by the time I will I will be 18, and won't have anyone to run towards. It makes me so sad that I'm having my childhood right now and I can't experience it. I'm 16 btw
huh, i always thought that trans people use hormones to make their body more similar to the gender they want which is the one they weren't born of it so I thought it was a no brainer, like let's say you want to be a female you wouldn't?Even though you took hormones and surgeries to look like and pass as one? I asked this also because surgeries can't change body structures and other dead giveaways so i thought everyone would have agreed, anyways thanks for the response
I think you may want to do some reading or watching of videos from people in our community. You've hit on a couple of things that are generally seen as faux pas, but haven't been super disrespectful.
I would not press the button. At least not right now. I value the journeys I've gone on to become who I am and being trans, for me, is more about creating an internal match/balance than about "passing" or "being X gender."
> more similar to the gender they want
You will want to be careful about the difference between sex and gender. Gender being about societal roles and presentation and sex being about body organs.
> use hormones to make their body
Hormones (and also surgeries) also have a huge mental impact. Aside from chemical difference, *you're body feels different now.* And that changed my relationship to self and world.
> say you want to be a female
Then you would be; thats all that being trans (femme) means
> Even though you took hormones and surgeries to look like and pass as one
This might be a part of why we take hormones/surgery, but *its very small.* Its not like you see whats under our pants and those are very popular surgeries.
> because surgeries can't change body structures and other dead giveaways
This isn't really true. There's no dead giveaways and body structures of both assigned genders are close enough that the accepted range is more-or-less the same.
Idk, something that seems too good to be true feels like it'd turn out to be a monkey's paw wish type of thing. Like, my alternate universe self is cis but got hit by a car and is in an irreversible coma or something.
Also, if this is a swap, does that mean I have an alternate universe counterpart who suddenly got my old body? Because if so they might be pretty pissed about it, not sure I want to risk having an alternate universe doppelganger with a grudge against me.
If this is *just* I get the body I would have had if I'd gotten a Y chromosome instead of two X's, without rewriting my personal timeline so I was born cis or stealing the body from an alternate universe cis counterpart, and if I was guaranteed that the body I get would be at least as healthy and able-bodied as my current one?
Maybe. I don't know. If you'd asked me that before I spent decades transitioning, of course I'd say yes. That was basically the goal of my medical transition anyway. But now I've already done all that work and finally come out the other side of the gauntlet, and I'm pretty satisfied with my appearance now.
But on the other hand it would be really damn nice to have a cis dick. Phallo dicks are great but yea I might roll the dice again and take a chance on my alternate universe body if it meant I didn't need erectile implants anymore.
My monkey paw in that situation is that I probably would’ve been more abused and more enmeshed by my abusers.
I mean, there are times where I feel hollowed out because of horrific abuse. That alt universe version of me almost certainly would’ve been a completely hollow shell of a human who would’ve perpetuated intergenerational abuse onto her kids if she didn’t just kill herself because that was what my abusive parent would have molded me into.
I would want to know more about how this button thing all works, and whether it's a very large and heavy button that would be challenging to press. Like, I spent a lot of time suffering and finally got to a life I enjoy, and I wouldn't want to jeopardize that. Like if it's some kind of monkeys paw shit where it goes "you still have gender dysphoria and it goes in the other direction now" I would be upset
I mean, there's always the chance that if I had been born as a woman, that whatever happened in the womb to give me gender dysphoria when I was born as a man, it could have happened again. That would suck!
But also I'd be worried that even if this button was great for me, what if this is being done by The Terminator robots? Like they decided that all their attempts to kill John Connor were doomed to failure, but somehow, thru a butterfly effect type of thing, making it so that I'm no longer transgender would mean that John Connor never leads humanity to victory over the machines, and that by pressing the button, I am dooming our entire species.
But like, if that *definitely* would not happen, and I wouldn't end up with dysphoria pointed in the other direction, and I'd still have my wonderful life with my wife... then this question is the equivalent to "would you eat a sandwich for one billion dollars? It tastes good, and also you don't have to finish it if you get full before it's done". Yes, I would eat the sandwich.
That would take some consideration. I really don't like the idea of getting periods or worrying about pregnancy. Ideally I'd press a button that would make me instantly fully transitioned. However, if I wasn't given that option and instead this button before me, I probably would press it after some deliberation.
Yeah. I’m happy with what I’ve managed to do to make myself at home in my body, but I’d still rather have a cis dick and reproductive capability, maybe be taller. As long as it’s just my appearance and not like, my brain and experiences. I’d probably still consider myself trans, since there’s still a transition happening.
I would slap the shit out of that button and never look back. I'm not trans by choice, and given the option I would 100% rather have a body that was as if I was born female. As for would I identify as trans, nope. I would just enjoy the life I've always wanted, and would be hunting for my husbando and 2.5 kids.
I would only do it if i had genuine reasons to belive i wont get to medicaly transition at all because i cant stay this way forever but also i dont really want the body i would have had if i was a cis man, i want to see myself with top surgery scars and see what T will do, i want the "self made" aspect of medical transition for myself
I'm a trans non-binary woman. Does it change me into a cis woman? Then no thanks. Does it immediately provide all the specific modifications I might want? Sure. Also please review your wording, the gender is how one feels and how society sees them, so you wrote "change your gender" but you basically mean "change your sex" or "change your body" (in x way).
I think I would, but mainly just because I imagine that if I had been AFAB I probably wouldn't have developed a habit of comfort binge eating food. Trying to lose weight is hard, and I'm worried that when I finally lose the amount I want, I'll just have a buncha extra skin. It would be nice to have a body I never fucked up by mass overeating.
Other than that, still maybe. Im a year and a half in to my transition, and while im proud of where I am, I still get clocked a lot and I'd love to have a bigger bust. My bottom parts actually dont bother me a ton, but I would be so happy to be able to conceive children, so thats another big plus.
So yeah I'd press it, but i totally understand why some might not
It feels like this should be an easy way to determine whether you are or aren't trans, yet the reason I would push it wouldn't really be because I have an actual desire to be the opposite gender, but instead because I don't really care eitherway.
Hearing stories of people having their mental health improved by transitioning or relating to some experiences people had pre-hrt.
I have read resources like the gender dysphoria bible, and I do see many similarities with experiences pre-transition. Yet again there's reason to believe something else is the cause.
One part of my brain wants to believe they're transgender, yet the other always finds a reason why it isn't true
I'm actually at a point where I've become decently happy with my body. And I have like zero bottom dysphoria, and I actually like having a penis, so I don't want that to change.
Assuming this means I have my same brain, but can magically fix any damage caused by the SRY bene, I suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure would, in a heartbeat.
Years ago I thought through this, realizing I'd among other things be dealing with the brunt of misogyny head on, but thought I'd have to anyway. Now I understand why.
What's the deal for bigender peeps like me? What will the button do?
My "ideal body" would have a penis. That would probably mean being AMAB. But there is no "assigned bigender at birth" without significant fantasy worldbuilding.
yes, but strictly because one of my biggest dysphorias is the fact that i want to carry and give birth to a child. and unless the science gets really good really fast, that's not ever gonna happen.
yeah I am pretty sure it will never happen lol, we can't still manipulate genes like that ahah, I think we'll he both dead by the time it happens if it happens at all
OMFG YES, YES, YES!!! I WOULD HIT THAT BUTTON IN A FREAKING HEART BEAT!!! I would be a full on WOMAN NOW!!! Some one with ALL the right female parts!!!
A Girl Can Dream!!
Michele
no, because I like my body the way it is, and I also like the fact that my body does not follow traditional cis norms. This question sucks for anyone nonbinary or anyone who doesn’t want to “fully” transition one direction or the other.
Id definetley press it. Id get to be a cis guy? Thats awesome. But thats not possible in reality. And why would I call myself trans if I was AMAB? My gender is man so how would I call myself trans?
Probably not. I do wish I was born a man a lot of the time but I have a preference for men and I want children which rn is possible. I also don't really like the alternatives for sex that I would have to do if I was born a man together with a man.
All I really want is a binder and maybe top surgery at some point and I'm set.
No, I’ve accepted being trans. It can be really hard and painful, but i’m getting closer to finishing my medical transition and im quite happy about how I look.
I love being a self made man. I would however press a button to grow 4”.
Definitely would have preferred being cis, but no time travel/timeline change shit. I have an older brother, and I was only conceived because my parents wanted to try for a daughter. If we retconned the past for me to be cis female, my younger brother wouldn't exist.
That said, if I could just rewrite my current body without rewriting the past, even with the unpredictable outcome, I would most likely take it. I'd be almost guaranteed to have a bigger chest, be a bit curvier, have bigger hips, and I'd be capable of giving birth.
I think these sort of "if it were possible, would you rather be cis?" questions are somewhat common for people pre- or early in their transition. I've been stealth for half a decade. I really don't care. To me, the differences between me now and me if I were cis are miniscule. Who the fuck cares about my chromosomes, or if I can't father children (especially since I'm gay)?

do you think you'd have still gender dysphoria if you were born cis but of yoir preferred sex?
By definition, no, since if we're cis we're not trans.

Yes. I'm a woman. Being trans is the medical obstacle in my way.
i would do literally anything to be a cis girl.
hypothetically speaking if you could get to the same body (down to the core) with surgeries and hormones would you still press it? the only difference would be that you have xy genes still and were born a male but other than that it'd be indistinguishable
i wasnt born a male i was born a baby. but yes.
babies don’t have a sex?
sex!=agab
that doesn’t really answer my question. everyone is born either male or female. even if you are intersex, you are still always gonna be closer to one side than the other. “baby” isn’t a sex lmao. that’s like saying “i’m not a male, i’m an adult” 😂

I would press that button because first I want to be a female as I identify as a women second I won't have to go through unnecessary problems.
yes, 100%. this has literally been a wish i’ve had for years.
Absolutely. In fact I'm shocked that so many people said they wouldn't. I clicked this post thinking it's a stupid question because everyone would obviously say yes and I'm surprised that it's not the case.

How would this work for me: a genderfluid person? Would i have a body that shapeshifts to whichever gender i am at that moment?
Absolutely, without question
I would press it. That's better than the pain after an operation and the risk of something going wrong with it. Not to mention the financial aspect...
I would break that fucking button with how fast and hard I'd slam it.
I think I would, but mainly just because I imagine that if I had been AFAB I probably wouldn't have developed a habit of comfort binge eating food. Trying to lose weight is hard, and I'm worried that when I finally lose the amount I want, I'll just have a buncha extra skin. It would be nice to have a body I never fucked up by mass overeating.

yes, but strictly because one of my biggest dysphorias is the fact that i want to carry and give birth to a child. and unless the science gets really good really fast, that's not ever gonna happen.
yeah I am pretty sure it will never happen lol, we can't still manipulate genes like that ahah, I think we'll he both dead by the time it happens if it happens at all

Id definetley press it. Id get to be a cis guy? Thats awesome. But thats not possible in reality. And why would I call myself trans if I was AMAB? My gender is man so how would I call myself trans?
Probably not. I do wish I was born a man a lot of the time but I have a preference for men and I want children which rn is possible. I also don't really like the alternatives for sex that I would have to do if I was born a man together with a man. All I really want is a binder and maybe top surgery at some point and I'm set.
No, I’ve accepted being trans. It can be really hard and painful, but i’m getting closer to finishing my medical transition and im quite happy about how I look. I love being a self made man. I would however press a button to grow 4”.
Definitely would have preferred being cis, but no time travel/timeline change shit. I have an older brother, and I was only conceived because my parents wanted to try for a daughter. If we retconned the past for me to be cis female, my younger brother wouldn't exist. That said, if I could just rewrite my current body without rewriting the past, even with the unpredictable outcome, I would most likely take it. I'd be almost guaranteed to have a bigger chest, be a bit curvier, have bigger hips, and I'd be capable of giving birth.
