You get your salary doubled for a year, but have to live as the opposite sex during that time: would you do it?

I'd try it.
It is also the plot of The Hot Chick, Dating the Enemy, Lalola, It's a Boy Girl Thing, and many more.
I find this thread offensive and very cis, like y'alls would suffer from dysphoria. Good luck, it's awful.
There are tens of thousands of stories like this on the internet, lots surrounding transgender fiction.
The double payment part is what makes this question weird. I would do it without the money. It would be well worth the experience.
Just saw the poll: WEIRD!

I'm cis but really feel non binary sometimes. I would be interested to see if I felt dysphoric at all
I used one of those photo editors that morphs you into old people, babies, women, etc and I think I make a prettier woman than I do a man. Just dont look too close. Let's do it.

Have you seen The Fly?
Followup question, have you seen Alien?
I respect your opinion WaffleTaco, but I personally don't feel particularly offended myself. The way I see it questioning is how people come out as trans and I skulked through a lot of threads that were exactly like this before coming out.
Mmh
If anything I feel like people pondering this scenario can learn a lot about themselves
I'm currently in university and not being paid anything, so the question for me is really just "would I be happier if my sex was different".
The answer to that is... complicated? I'm tempted to say "HAH, sucks to be you OP, I'd be unhappy either way", but recently I've gotten how I feel about myself in a good position? So I wouldn't want to throw that out the window on a chance.
If the time period was smaller, say a month, I'd consider it, but a year is too long. Alternatively if I could pick and choose characteristics that would be more appealing, but if I wake up and suddenly I have massive boobs then that's gonna be a thing I'll be dysphoric about.

ok I was against this completely, but now the possibility of giving birth to a strong baby boy, bursting out of my chest?
potentially projectile birthing with aim?
I do wonder if those who came out later are less likely to be offended just because we would use stuff like this as an escapist exercise or day dream. But inversely it can be seen as an immature, childish dream that should be moved on from anyway.
It'd definitely be a more complicated question if it were just living as/presenting as the opposite gender and you were still physically the same as now. It'd still be win/win for me as either I'd bide my time to build up money or just outright get it over with and get more money to smooth it along, but it'd absolutely be a nightmare for the typical cis person or trans person who went through the bulk of social transition already.
An experiment on the old board about $10 million for a permanent mental and physical flip did help me confront it again. Though it was asexuality coming up and "yeah, I can comfortably identify with this and come out about it" that started cracking the social walls, and internally I'd been a conflicted mess gender-wise most of my life anyway.
That is so stupid... i would never do it. Iam a guy not interested in being a woman... i guess you can do stuff like this if you are single and you dont have to take care of family.
But wouldnt even do it for money. Why????

I was gonna say, this scenario feels like it's from a cis person because it's oblivious to the notion that the sex-swappin' person, mentally unchanged, could/would feel gender dysphoria.
I don't feel offended either, I was just struck by the cisness of the premise.
It's okay, I know I'm being a bit irrational about it. Hopefully a person who doesn't know they are trans yet finds out they are.
Apples and oranges for certain. I do think that scenerios like this that boiled things down to "if you could flick a lightswitch and..." helped me admit what I truly wanted in life and then later came coming to terms with the realities and obstacles.
<3 Nothing irrational about the raw emotion something gives you, the experiences and things you can share with us are as valuable as anyone elses imo.
I mean, I present and live as a guy, but I've definitely had serious periods of questioning my gender identity to the point where I don't really think I'm cis, but I don't know if I'm trans or genderqueer or non-binary or whatever. Honestly when I see threads like this I begin to question all over again.
Moral of the story is gender is hard I guess

Final form of gender is realizing the gender binary is bullshit anyways and we should stop using it.
Sure. I'm not at all attached to being male and it would be great to actually have first-hand experience of being female. And if it really is so bad I'm only doing it for a year. No real downsides. In fact I'd take the deal without the double salary just for the experience.

I would get to experience an orgasm from a woman's perspective. That alone would probably push me to say yes. My wife is also bisexual so I'd be good to go.
That said we have two kids and I feel like their father suddenly becoming a woman would be traumatizing. I'd have to be promised that they wouldn't know a difference.

I'd be curious to see if any symptoms of dysphoria would develop once the novelty wears off. Knowing the change would only be for a year may mitigate it, though. My fiancee is trans, so maybe it'd be a way to get closer to her.
I think a whole year is too much for me. I like being a dude!

Because I enjoy living in my own body?
Why should I have to justify this.
If I get a better job and nothing from my current life changes then why not? At the very least it might make me consider how girls have it and how to better support the feminism agenda.
