Men of lemmy, what would you do if you woke up female one day

Try for multiple orgasms, I guess.

Had one girlfriend that had an orgasm every few minutes by fucking, fingering, getting eaten out, masturbation... Basically every kind of sex made her come immediately. She really was a miracle. One day she came 40 times in a row. I counted intentionally that day because I was wondering how often she could come. We only stopped that day because I was completely done and exhausted and drained.

She felt great and wanted to continue.

Sounds fun.

Having dated the polar opposite of that, it sounds very fun…

Yeah, it's tough when no matter how much you try it just won't happen. Had a girlfriend once that seemed to actively avoid getting there, she would clench her highs around my hand so I couldn't move anymore and stuff like that every time she got close

Gotta have something to make up for all the bleeding.

My brain would die from dopamine poisoning.

I used to be a woman, so I’d say I freak out and then I’d be depressed lol

Story behind your transition, if you're comfortable?

As in, how did I figure out I was a boy? Sure.

I always felt like “one of the boys” from a very young age. I’d play games for “boys”, played hockey, took boxing classes etc., hung out exclusively with boys and hated girls.

Around the age of 12, I went clothes shopping with my mom, and I asked for boys clothes. She refused and I cried myself to sleep that night. Many more times I asked for boys / men’s clothes and got denied, and every time I fell into a deep (diagnosed) depression.

I had no idea why, nor what “being trans” was or meant. Over the years, I kept saying things like “if I was a boy, I would x” or “if I was a boy my name would be x”, to which my friends reacted with “you know cis people don’t say or think those things as often as you do right? Might wanna get that checked out”.

It took until feb. 2023 for me to seek help, and when I did they were all unanimous: I am trans. I bought men’s clothes, stopped shaving and begun hormone therapy in May. I’ve never been this happy in my entire life.

My boyfriend stuck around (he’s bi) and has been super supportive.

I like your friends gentle encouragements. Thanks for sharing!

Play with my boobs

I wonder if they've got bigger or smaller as a result of the transformation.

Masturbate, max out my credit cards on clothes and same-day sex toys, body hair removal, stab myself in the eye with mascara and eyeliner pencil, book tubal ligation, get period stopping birth control, septum ring, mani-pedi, smash gashes with lasses, fuck myself sore.

Day 2 would be a self-care day of cozy sweaters, cocoa, movies, and trying to vibrate my clit off.

You really get it lol. Also, hope you don't wake up on the first day of the periods. Or the 3 days before. Or the 5 days during the period and 2 days after :)

Day one waking up with an axe wound would not be a great start. I'd probably just have to try out the massage setting on the showerhead and shove some paper towels up there. Then put on sweatpants and a hoodie then run to the store to pickup midol, period supplies, ugly underwear, chocolate, and a vibrator.

I can only describe my periods this way: like someone is twisting a serrated knife constantly in your belly (uterus). Up and down, left, right, up and down... It doesn't stop for 3 days straight...I'm really looking forward to menopause...no amount of painkillers help. But the chocolate and nice people does :)

book tubal ligation

Lol. Lmao. Just the rudest awakening not even 5hrs in.

What's same-day sex toys?

Same-day delivery. I considered saying "next-day" or "overnight sex toys from Japan", but the reality would be me being impatient.

Panic. I'd immediately wonder if I suffered a stroke in the middle of the night that makes me think I changed. Or if I did magically change, did other people's memories change too? I'd check my ID, birth certificate, any other paperwork, even old pictures for signs of gender. Figure out a way to indirectly ask a family member. Try to tell if my pets recognize me or are treating me like a stranger.

I'd have to text out sick from work as long as possible because I wouldn't know how to explain my sudden difference in voice and appearance. I'd be too busy panicking over what happened and trying to reevaluate everything I know about myself. Am I gay now? Am I trans now? Do all my interests stay the same? My socialization as a child didn't change and it's nurture not nature, right? Are my genetics different? Am I prone to different health risks now? Am I still me or did asgardian aliens put my memories in a clone body and mess up a chromosome?

If I don't change back I'll start doing research into legally changing gender and coming up with a story to tell everyone who knew me. I live in an area that's fairly pro-trans so at least I wouldn't have to face insurmountable legal hurdles to get a name and ID swap. At some point I'd consider HRT to go back, but that can take so long (especially because I'd sound insane if I explained what happened) I'd realistically have to transition both directions legally, which I imagine would be its own hell.

Eventually I'd calm down enough to explore myself physically.

Sounds like the most thought out response. I sometimes wonder how many cis folk are cis because they have a gender identity solidly planted in the cultural and phenotypic sex of their body and how many are cis because they really don't have a strong underlying preference so whatever their body is it would not cause them any real discomforts.

I definitely know folk who I suspect fit both of these models. Those cis folk who experience gender euphoria are sometimes not very subtle about it.

That's an interesting thought.

Back when I was five or seven if I suddenly one day woke up as a girl I probably would have had a massive panic attack and freaked out for a day and after some therapy and time to process I would have just been like, "oh okay well I guess I'm a girl now".

Nowadays other than the fact that it would cause ripple effects throughout my life that I can't even possibly predict, i wouldn't even care that much. Oh shit, dick fell off.

I mean for a lot of us the horror doesn't kick in til puberty. When you are a kid all it takes for someone to clock you as another gender is changing your clothes and whatever you have in your pants doesn't really matter so much. You might have been more okay than you think at age five or seven.

The most manly way to go about being a woman suddenly. Applause from me kind stranger

Figure out how much stuff I could fit into my hot pocket.

Does everyone else I know remember me as male and now I am female or am I waking up in a world where this is normal for everyone but me?

If I were making it a movie it would be a reverse ;Quantum Leap.' You'd look the same as always to everyone else, but you'd see yourself as a woman.

Call one of my woman friends and ask them come over to help me to learn do the woman stuff I don't know how to do.

Find it really effin fascinating. But then keep dressing in mens clothes.

I have a fascination with gender swapping (and general body transformation) but it has never extended to clothes. I dont get why its so often clothes and crossdressing that other people of this kind enjoy. I just would appreciate a different body. And lower height. And not being so scary-looking. But being socially able to dress in female clothing doesnt interest me at all.

Everybody's experience being trans is different and you don't even have to fit all the symptoms to be trans

I can't say if you are trans or not because that is for you to discover

I'm not. I'm not that uncomfortable in my current body. Just small annoyances. And the wish to try something new. I guess.

I'm trans, and that was pretty much my experience too.

Me personally I would be extremely happy and not depressed anymore since I'd have a body that matches me

No I don't identify as male, I used too until my egg cracked

I hope one day you wake up in the body you were meant to have, stranger 🤎

Is this a trans question

I was curious to see how people would react in a situation like this

I'm also a transbian in the closet so that may have been also part of the motivation in me asking this question

I know this is a stereotypical answer, but honestly: playing with my breasts.

Feel upset, probably extreme body dysphoria.

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.

Hope I'm attractive enough to make a living on 0nlyF@ns

You missed the “one day” part.

Oof, that will have to be a very busy day. But if it's just for one day then I guess just sleep it off.

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 could be trans or non-binary

Non binary is basically not conforming to the binary male / female genders

But this is just what your comment sounds like to me

You should take my comment as a suggestion only and explore what you wrote in your comment means to you personally

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).

On the long term, if I'm goodlooking enough I would really consider making a living whoring myself out on Twitch and OnlyFans.

I would also find out how bi-curious is my SO.

Your sex isn't exactly what's holding you back.

Males don't sell as good as females...

You don't think there's a market for gay guys? The backbone and indeed front bone of tinder?

No there's really not. Is this a serious question?

Depends, am I female because magic is real or am I female because my gender fluidity kicked in over night and swung the needle?

Biological sex is generally considered to be distinct from gender.

Dresses. Big, cute dresses. Skirts, even.

No need to wish you were a woman for that, go live your dream

I'm afraid it's not so simple in my case. I live in the deep rural US. It's not worth it in any aspect.

I would announce my transition online and isolate myself for 6 months with no pictures so I can try to keep being identified by society as the same person and not become undocumented and lose everything I own etc. Nobody's going to believe a story about magic bullshit, they would just assume you're a different person.

I would become a lesbian. No way I want cock im me.

Depends on the guy, is he attractive? Gotta try 2-3 times to be sure I don't like it.

Is 2 to 3 times enough to be sure? Better make it 6 times, or 10 or so. Or more?

If you're fully a woman and you're straight you actually might want some dick. It's not like it's a choice

More often then not I've seen where people who are trans are still attracted to the gender they were attracted to before, there are exceptions but most of the time that's how it goes.

Oh, trust me, you will!

That's a bit homophobic and dismissive towards another person's sexuality. Another person who you don't personally know might I add.

How is that homophobic? Yes I obviously don't know them or their sexuality, and the comment wasn't supposed to be taken seriously, just to state how good dick feels in a vagina.

I can see two quite different ways to read the comment you are replying to. Are you sure you have got the correct interpretation?

I think I read it as much more serious than it was intending to be, to me it seemed like the person was denying the idea of them being homosexual because they are conventionally "straight" now.

I’d fart so I could feel it bubbling up through my vag.

That doesn't always happen. You have to be seated a certain way for it to work.

Teach us your ways, sensei.

You have to become one with yourself first, child.

I do that all the time! Sometimes several times a day!

Good job! Not that you've got that out of the way, the next thing to do is grow a vagina. Once you do that, you're set to go!

Have sex as often at possible. Which probably is very often.

The same thing I would have done the moment I woke up anyway, but with a vagina. Masturbate.

Imagine if you woke up not only a woman, but a woman so exactly your type that all you could do was shlick to yourself in the mirror all day until you made the room stink and gave yourself a terrible rash.

Depends if other people could tell, or if it was just my genitals that changed.

Is it just one day, or ongoing? Either way I'm probably going to take the day, call out from work, tell my family I'm not feeling well, and furiously google my symptoms.

Yes, I’d spend all day “googling” my “symptoms” as well. 😏

Celebrate. And autogynophilic comments are kinda gross tbh.

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.

So people aren't allowed to fetishize gender transformation in general?

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.

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).

So..umm..your saying if you woke up a women you would immediately have a penis installed?

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 😔).

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.

likely wonder if I went insane. same if "god" or my dog started talking to me or I seemed to have superpowers.

Try to get her to go back to sleep. This is the one time I get to myself to play video games
