If you could take a pill....

[Jessie007]

Would I take a pill that makes my mind match my body? Without hesitation! ABSOLUTELY! Would I take a pill to make my body match my mind? Yes, provided it doesn't hurt anybody. I would take anything to stop the war inside my head. I wish I could just be a normal guy without the mental torment.

[Shy]

No, i'm not ashamed of being transgender and think diversity in society is a good thing. I have a right to exist just the way I am thank you very much.

[JetstreamSamantha]

Speaking as someone who's just starting along the path of transition, I'm going to have to say no. Being forced to live the rest of my life as a male is my definition of hell, and this pill seems akin to brainwashing - whoever it was that was living on as a man in my body wouldn't be "me". I'm excited for this path I'm on, and I wouldn't want anything else.

yup........
I don't need any of this. none of it. I seek peace.

[ghoulified g]

I wouldn't, same reasons as some other people... I couldn't do something that changes how my head's wired so drastically, it would be taking away a big part of me, and I just wouldn't be myself anymore. q: What I really need is to get away from this place and get HRT and stuff but I'm too young yet, so for now I have to deal with my friends who are constantly talking about politics. I hate politics, it's so boring to me.

My fellow Ashley! the answer from me remains the same! nope, no more manhood!

[Jessie007]

Answer still the same for me. Without hesitation, YES! I want nothing more than to be a normal guy. I don't consider myself a person now, so changing my brain takes nothing away from me other than the constant torture.

[Dena]

It sounds a little to much like the twilight zone Number 12 Looks Just Like You. My brain is the thing I value the most and I don't want anybody tapering with it.

[Maybebaby56]

No. It's too late for the blue pill. I am out to friends, family and coworkers. I have changed all my IDs, credit cards, bank accounts, etc. I am legally female, and live full-time as a woman. It is a dream come true. My only regret is becoming estranged from my kids.  The blue pill won't fix that.  The damage is done. For better or worse, I can only go forward.  There is no place else to go.

Omg bro this is so me in many regards. I have family like this. I know that my cousin named Mike would be so thrilled if i was defeated and went back into manhood. I have talked to him about this issue and all the feelings i have had even since childhood and the confusion and everything else. He doesnt  beleive i went through any of that saying if i was truely trans that there would have been ''signs''. He would point out all the things that apperently dont make me trans or not trans enough and when i point out all the great things estrogen has done to me like given me better mental clarity and even nice changes to the body his only reply was ''Well i still see some facial hair (was sick that day so rub alot of it under my nose off via tissue) and your voice is still pretty low''. Like i said, to him i am just some dude so in many ways i gotta thank him, it is people like him who push me to find my woman side even more. I refuse to give the negative doubters what they want, a miserable man instead of doing myself as a happy woman!

exactly.  any time i do bring it up, all i hear is "but you're so feminine" (even though they don't try to follow that up with examples because they know they don't have any, aside from the time in my life when i tried too hard to be a girl).  those who don't want to believe or accept something will find excuses until there are none left, and then they'll just start making them up.

I feel the same way, and also agree with your likening this to a war inside your head. I feel like it's a bit of a catch 22 in that it tortures you if you deny it, but causes so many social problems if you give in to it. Life would be so much easier if this birth condition was never there in the first place.

That said, it is what it is, and we all must deal it in the best way we can. Judging by many an this forum, the trans cloud really can have a silver lining if you approach it with the right attitude.

[Janes Groove]

Nope.

Besides, I already took the red pill. I want to see how deep this rabbit hole goes

[Audrey94]

That's tough. I wouldn't. I think logically it's really appealing: no hiding my gender, no dysphoria, no self-doubt... I actually thought, 'I guess I would,' before reading through this thread. But something about it just didn't feel right, and I couldn't really place it until I read this:

If the pill erases the trans then no, I wouldn't take it.  That would be akin to suicide, erasing who I fundamentally am.  The body would live on, inhabited by a different person.

I guess I can't see the blue-pill me as the same person. I'm not really sure though. I can't help thinking how HRT would also change my thought processes in a way, so I guess by the same logic, I'd be a different person there too. But I want HRT and not the blue pill. That's incongruous to me  . This is all very philosophical to me, I don't know haha.

I have been at this only 9 months and I can feel the changes you are talking about and I am embracing them, each and every time I do embrace this, I free my spirit, just a little more...

I'd pass on it.  It took me a looong time to love and accept this part of me.  It would make me sad to just see it disappear.  I am so much happier living (somewhat) as a female. I connect with people better, am more nurturing, listen better, communicate better, etc.  I suppose it'd be alright being comfortable as a male, but being a 'good' male just seems to be a far less satisfying life for me IMHO.  My wife would probably sneak the pill into my food though lol.

You see, this is where I stand with it all at the moment. But I think that will change as time goes on and I eventually get closer to transitioning. Of course, being as unsecure as I am, I was afraid that I "wasn't trans enough" because my current answer is yes, so I gave myself a different thought experiment. If I was exactly as I am now mentally and personality-wise, but without the time as male, and was given the chance to choose being male or female, I would choose female. No contest. Hands down. Don't even have to think about it.

[jgravitt01]

If its the pill that changes your body to match your mind overnight...yes
If it had other side effects like understanding and speaking all languages like on Farscape, yes again.

Ahhh, the pill question!

If someone offered me a pill to take away all of my transgender thoughts and live as a normal male without any other side effects, I'd take it in a heartbeat.  However, this is not because I dislike transgender thoughts; in fact I rather like the feminine feelings in some respects and, when I was regularly cross dressing, I loved both the sensation of the clothes and the feeling of calm and relief that came over me.  This was not a sexual thing but driven by a feeling that I had become much closer to the person I should have been.

However, what would motivate me to take the pill is the impact which my TG feelings have and the inner conflict they cause.  Being TG faces one with a choice, live with it or deal with it.  In my case, dealing it would mean the loss of my spouse, the consequential loss of my current comfortable lifestyle and an unquantifiable impact on my kids.  I therefore choose to live with it and try to deal with the emotional struggles on a day by day basis and any pill that could help me with this would be a godsend.

That said, the pill that could change history so that the midwife said 'it's a beautiful baby girl' would be far higher on my list of medication worth swallowing!
