Imagine the implications of putting a female mind into a male body. If you survive the shock of finding yourself wearing unflattering colours, you may collapse once you've calculated the financial implications of hair removal. The only thing likely to cause you joy is the presence of slimmer thighs, narrower hips and, hopefully, no stretch marks.
Let's see the impact this would have on society. What would you do if a man walked into the room and, in 10 minutes, not get petty about a new car that somebody else had bought? Worse still, he won't be smiling foolishly at young women and ignoring the older women. Instead, he would be finding out where you bought that sari, and what was the best place to look for throw cushions.
