I'm male.  I can't imagine being any other way than this.  Oh I'd love to not have dysphoria, but it's just not me.

"Better the devil you know than the devil you don't" springs to mind, I wouldn't know what I would be like as a cis female at all.

No. Its pretty much made me who I am and without it, the me I know would cease to exist.

When I was thirteen I probably would have took that pill. I went through a period where all I wanted to be was a normal boy. And I went on a revolt against how feminine I was. Well that luckily didn't last long and as I've gotten older I've gotten to realize how this is who I am. And trying to fit myself into the normal straight white male role would not work for me. I am who I am and there is no way I would ever try to stop being myself just where I can be the so called normal. I'm unique and quite frankly I love it! 

No way. I like being a guy, even though I'm pre-op and have to deal with the drama of being temporarily in-between genders (I'm not saying there's only two genders, I'm saying I'm in a bit of a grey zone what with not being on T anymore, etc.). It's not just gender dysphoria that makes me want to transition. Being a man just makes more sense to me. I wish I could explain it better, but I can't. It's just right. It just fits me.

Never in my life would I ever have said yes to something like that. Because as much as I hate being different, my feminine tendencies are so much a part of who I am, that I seriously do not believe that I would be me without them. I just can't imagine where the hell I would be in life if I didn't go through my teenage phase of HATING being male, which basically made me strive to be everything that the average teenage male wasn't... that period was what taught me to be kind, compassionate, to respect others, and to seek to understand people rather than laugh at them. I simply cannot imagine myself as a cisgender man. I wouldn't be me anymore. I owe almost every single facet of who I am to that experience, as painful as it was.

I would gladly lose the dysphoria. I do not want to lose me. I am a guy not a girl. If magic made me female, I would not be me.

Me neither.  Not that I wouldn't be tempted.

In the end, I don't need to change because there's nothing wrong with me or any of us.  I am a trans woman, we're trans people, not a big deal.  It's entities like my employer who are the problem, those who actively make life more difficult for us because they choose to.  But at this point I don't want them to magically change either.  I'd like them to learn their lesson.  Only by learning that you don't discriminate can there be hope that the idea will be knocked out.

I would not even be tempted - no way no how - not  a chance - the only reason I detransitioned was the reparative therapy - torture will do a lot to you

I would be cis if I could. I'll have a lot of health problems when I get on estrogen family history wise. unless gene therapy can fix those contraindictions, yes, I would want to be cis.

Voted no, hell no in fact

With a caveat that I'm speaking from my experience only and never for anyone else.

I don't feel like there is anything "wrong" with me that needs to be cured. I'm constantly evolving and changing. For me being trans isn't too far removed from other major life overhauls. I'm me, I'm a girl I just wasn't always biologically one.

Absolutely yes! I would want to be a cis gender male. I would still be the person I am today; the only difference would be that I would be happy within myself. I went into starting HRT because I wanted balance in my brain, and I got that. I could do without having breasts and everything else that comes with HRT. I just wanted internal happiness and not the daily conflict that I endured for 46 years knowing I was the wrong gender.

I wouldn't mind being a robot, just a female one

Fembots!!

no not at all, that would change who I was as a person.

I would rather change my body then my mind(thats scary)

As causes of not wanting to be in my own body go... gender isn't the top of the list anymore, sadly. So the question is perhaps a little redundant in my case since it wouldn't actually solve anything.

However, if a cure were found to allow me to be cisgendered in someone else's body... well... I'd like her to be around 5'10 and a brunette please. Thanks.

I said yes then I started to read other replies afterwards now I am not so sure. I would love to not be confused or to never have to worry about coming out to family and friends and avoiding probably many surgeries.
But I really do fear possibly being more aggressive then I am. I know that I am not super aggressive but deep down it is there and it scares me the possibility of loosing control. If there were no other reason then hopefully loosing the possible violent part of my anger I would say wheres the surgeon lets get this done.

No... even if just for purely political reasons. Bending over backwards to assimilate myself into a toxic culture just so I can be just that less bothersome to people who I don't even like to begin with? No thanks!

I think I would, if only to make the pain go away. It reminds me of The Matrix where Cypher wants to get hooked back up and forget it all. I can relate to it right now.
