would you do this?

I had a weird thought.

If you could choose to switch to a random genetic woman's body, from anywhere on the planet, and not know what the outcome would be, would you do it?

The body you get would be entirely random as far as race, bmi, age, etc.  you have the chance to be a twenty something model or a ninety year old woman.  You also have the chance to be put into a post op ftm body, which would make for an interesting twist.

I personally wouldn't do it, but what about you?

I think I would do this. Shows how intense my transgender feelings are.
Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?

Interesting thought exercise, but I have traveled to too many less developed, emerging, and third world countries in south asia and the middle east, as well as China.  Given those regions represent 70% of the population and women are treated horribly there, my odds for where I would end up look rather bleak.  Dysphoria is nothing compared to the lives many women in India, the Middle East, Africa and parts of China endure.  I would take being a trans woman in the west over a ciswoman there any day and every day.

No no you misunderstand, you simply take on a copy of their body; you don't inherit their socioeconomic status.

So if I get to replicate my current life but in a different and random body...I would not do it now at 42 yrs old, but I would think about it strongly at 62.

Hmm mathematically the odds are in my favour.

Am I risking new health conditions? or am I taking all my ailments issues and level of health with me too. Because that would be a deal killer. My destination likely is in better shape than I currently am.

Because if I fell into a short fat woman in her 20s, I call that inheriting a house that needs maintenance and I am ok with that, especially if I get to say good bye to my disability.

If I was dumped in a bland plain woman in her 60s, hmm well I at least know what it feels like to be that lifestyle wise at any rate.

Ethnic or colour is simply not an issue. Asian girl or black girl or latin, none of that would bother me in the slightest.

Actually, a roll of the dice and chance to be a Japanese school girl is not so bad :)

I'm already 50 going on 70, so numerically speaking, I have a better chance of getting younger. And like so many of us, I would almost rather be dead sooner than later if I have to do it in this body with no hope of change. I'm not a 15 year old worried about throwing away decades of life on a throw if the dice.

Post op female that is FTM is not really a change though is it. In that scenario, I simply quit and go back. I'm sure lots of FTM would actually like my body. The hair loss is not so bad if you are an actual guy. I'm ok looking for a guy. And I think the average FTM person would probably like knowing 'you mean it works that well at 50? yippee :) '. But it isn't making me smile much these days. It's sort of like waking up to an annoying husband eeeeeeeevery damned morning...... c'mon dear, I want to sleep in today.

Yeah I likely would do it. Like I said though, if I am leaving my current health behind.
Well being TG is no treat, but becoming separated has sure caused me more trouble that being TG ever will be. So if I post, consider it me trying to distract myself from being lonely, not my needing to discuss being TG. I don't want to be separated a lot more than not wanting to be male looking.

Sure, in a heart beat!

But you said "woman's body" and then equated that with FtMs so it should have been "female body".
