[Trans People] If body swapping was a thing, would you do it?

Interesting question. I would want to see the body I would get ahead of time, and I would want them to share some basic features with me/my family (race and build; optionally sharing details like face shape and shoulder-hip ratio). I think I would prefer to know the person than have a random stranger's body, and I'd get used to seeing someone else walk around in my former body afterwards.

I don't think changing bodies would change who I am, so I'd be as happy to do that as to transition by traditional means, as long as I could be sure the other person was truly fine with it. I don't think the results would be any better or worse -- sure, it's a perfect AMAB body but it's not the body I might have developed, so it's a matter of swings and roundabouts.

As it happens, my older sibling is also trans and we look a lot alike, but they are the one person I wouldn't swap bodies with (plus I don't think they intend to transition physically). Instead there's a friend of mine at uni with whom I share several physical traits, and I'd strongly consider swapping bodies with her if it were possible, though I might decide against it for a variety of reasons. If I couldn't find any suitable person whom I was friends with, I wouldn't do it, and I'd be fine with that.

 

I'd do it. Yolo. I'd love to not have dysphoria anymore.

 

I would do it without any hesitation.

 

Ideally, I would want the male version of my body and face. But in this scenario, I would swap bodies with an AMAB person without a second thought. Probably, like others said, I would choose a similar race and build. I prefer keeping blue eyes, though I wouldn't mind being taller and have a different hair colour.

 

No.

I'm comfortable enough with what I have now that I'd prefer waiting for bottom surgery to get better. I'd like my genes to be passed down, so yeah.

Also, I don't think I could ever get used to having someone else's body.

 

Yes.

 

Hell to the yes.

 

Yes, as long as I could choose who to swap with. I'd want to keep the same skin, hair and eye colour, and general physique.

 

I'd swap with pretty much any other body than my own. Even a female body if I have to. Because chances are I won't find anybody else with the thing that I have, which stops me from being able to medically transition.

This is what bothers me the most. Practically everybody else can pass better than I can. Even those who can't will probably be able to get surgery and take HRT eventually. But not me. No, my body would sooner self-destruct than let me transition.

 

Yes, I would.

 

I wouldn't. My dysphoria is very rarely bad and I love how I look (most of the time). I'd love for my body to be male, but I still want my body. Especially I wouldn't want to not look like my family anymore.

 

Funny, I had a conversation like this with a Transwoman once.

Yes, but I would want to have some kind of connection to the AMAB person. So I could know what she looks like, how healthy she is over all, and she could know what she'd be getting in turn.

 

I'd be down for it, though it might be a little awkward being someone else and potentially exploring things.

 

This is a bit of a difficult question for me. Like a lot of other people in this thread said, I would prefer to have the male version of my own body. But if that wasn't possible I would swap with an AMAB person. I'd have to know them, and look somewhat like them, but I'd do it. It would take a lot of getting used to, but if I could fix shit like my short height, wide hips, large bust, and weak shoulders without surgery or testosterone, then I suppose seeing a strange face in the mirror would be a small price to pay.

 

I can't count on anyone else's brain working as well as mine.

 

Yes, I've definitely entertained this though multiple times.

 

Yes

 

My friend and I talk about swapping bodies all the time hags
