Reply To: HYPOTHETICAL: Would you trade your sex identity with a cis?

I voted yes first, but then changed to no because my dysphoria is such a huge part of my psyche I don’t even know who I’d be without it. I have gone through a lot of pain and misery, starting from early childhood and a part of me would do ANYTHING to have skipped all of it, still it taught me to read people, to be compassionate and to reflect on what I do before I do it. I’m not saying I’m the only person who has these qualities, but I wonder if I’d still have them without my life experience. So theoretically yes, but if it came down to actually flipping the switch…I’m not really so sure. Great question though.
