I'd rush to the mirror to see how I look. Does my current apperance have any effect on who I become?
All it would change is the actual gender, it'd probably make your body the same way it is now, just as-if you were that way since birth. Your fat and stuff wouldn't change, nor would your eye color, and hair(That can be fixed with a few weeks' time).
Your brain would HAVE to change, though.
Did nobody think that you couldn't actually control any of the 'new parts'? The female mind also have a severly different structure than a man's, so that would have some impact too.
I'm talking about just in actual outward traits.
But, you are right. The mind would warp a bit off of the regular deal. I can guess it'd mostly be a change in emotional release, which would also mean a slow change in personality, as a guess.
It would actually mostly be a very rapid change in personality according to the new stress and changes, mainly because the female mind has much more bonds in the frontal lobe than the male.
It could be a fine amount of trauma for the individual indeed. It could go into such a level that a new mental condition appears.
That is, if the person wasn't prepared.
I've had mental conditions, including immense paranoia+insanity pass through me before. I'm pretty sure that I would be able to live it through if something like this happened to me as well.
However, chances are that I would lose a lot of control over myself.
With my personality, here's what I'm betting would happen to me:
1. Get over the short-term beginning effects.
2. Snap for a couple days.
3. Completely seclude myself from others, only giving small 'hmm's as answers to things, and not saying a word otherwise.
4. Become violent to people who came too close.
5. Stop the violence, contemplate suicide.
6. ???
7. If I made it through that, chances are that I would be okay from there on, but probably need anti-depressants, probably end up a way more loving person.
Oh, I can also garuntee I'll hear this at least once, too:
"Listen, I don't care if you transformed into the other gender. What I do care about is that you're becoming a whiny *****, just because you grew tits."
Chances are that I'd make it through 6. I've made it through near-suicide a number of times, and right now I'm more than stable, save for small bursts of rage/insanity. Even then, it's only small bursts, like "Oh my god, I am sick of seeing ____!" or "Hahaha, cheese and biscuts go good on soda pop!"
waking up to a different gender...
The only mature thing i would do would be the initial realization of being a different gender.
screw life and everything in it if i magically changed genders lol

You are now reading this. You just lost the game.
You have just read this. You are also manually breathing.
If that's the case, you need to grow up a little. Sorry if it seems like I'm trolling, but really... If you can't think of doing ANYTHING in this situation, and you hardly even contemplate it, you need to re-think yourself a little bit. This post may seem cruel, but seriously.
Not just a little, a lot.
I may have just lost a lot of respect for some people that couldn't really think of anything mature, because, c'mon, there's SO MANY matures things to do in such a situation.
Exactly, and if you DON'T even think of doing anything mature, you might as well dig your own grave. Your friends wont believe you, and your family will probably throw you out while you're busy messing with yourself.
If something like this happens, the VERY FIRST thing you've got to do is think of something mature, else your whole life is ruined, faster than you can blink.
When you think about something like this, you gotta THINK.
Being able to live with the perspectives and experiences of two genders would be amazing. I have a fascination with transsexuals who grew up one gender and then switched as they got older. They are such unique and interesting people.
I'm someone who prides myself as being fairly gender neutral in my thoughts and actions. Waking up as the other gender would certainly give me an opportunity to validate that.
Also, the whole sex thing, too. I mean, come on. Who wouldn't be curious?
If you are a Battletech/Mechwarrior geek you may enjoy my Timberwolf/MADCAT model (the source of my avatar) (warning: image-heavy link target) I will often edit my posts after I have posted them in an attempt to improve their clarity (I value a few high quality posts over several low quality ones; the more lengthy the post, the more time it requires to edit) so you might want to wait for a while if this post is recent and refresh to see if anything has changed before replying to it.
Go on a magical adventure to change to my regular self by defeating the space cats of course. It doesn't SOUND mature because of the space cats, but it is when you actually do it.

My goal here was to get people actually thinking about what their life would be like if thrust into a life-changing situation like this.
This is meant to be mature. Hitting on lesbians/masturbating/suddenly deciding to have children is not mature. Children and homosexuality is a mature descision, to your regular person, but facing a situation that could make or break your entire life, and MASTURBATING? Hitting on lesbians? Suddenly deciding to have CHILDREN?! If you people are being honest right now, then no wonder the world is in such chaos right now! People are idiots!

2 WTF for a few hours

4 I guess i would need new clothes, I think that would be pretty important.

I think it's more about willingness than curiosity. :wink.gif:
You heard that, green and red.
*coughs*

No I think it's mostly just curiosity.

Sex is a very mature thing. Immature would be wearing a diaper or something.
