A thought occured to me just now. We have been asking and discussing the question of would we take a pill to rid ourselves of the thoughts, feelings, etc that we all have, but to those of us who would consider taking that pill what if the question were changed to "if you were presented with that pill or another that fully, painlessly and instantly changed you to the target gender of those same feelings which would you take?" A red pill vs blue pill scenario if you will. 

I think I am in the boundary between man and woman, and I can enjoy it, sometimes proud of it. I have female friends who are willing to protect me from men, and at same time I have male friends who think I look attractive, although most people think I am a kind of queer. I am afraid that I will no longer be able to crossdress once I become old and weak. I need self confidence and ENERGY to crossdress in public.

Barbie, I am over 60 and the old part doesn't apply. Much like when your are 10 and 25 or 30 seems old and the when you are 30 and 50 seems old until you are 50 and so on.

As for the magic pill, oh no not for me. I truly enjoy the ability to change in a instant. Especially if it is needed for survival or even when something around the farm needs upper body strength but when it's time to relax I really love that DragonGirl. Love, DG.

I've got to be honest that as much as I don't want to take the hypothetical pill when I get depressed, and I have been lately, my mind does begin to change on this subject.

At some point I know that even if I win the lottery and spend it all on hormones, surgeries, makeovers, classes, and clothes, there is a degree to which I am still going to see the man that once was beneath everything, and I hate that.

Of course I can change modify my view of gender to make that easier by pointing out that there are very tall, stocky, hairy, etc. women out there, but at some point there it ceases to be reason and becomes denial.

I'm not still depressed or anything but, on dark nights, i do ponder taking a pill made by Remington.

oh my what an interesting topic with so many wonderful replies.

I see a difference in the responses when it comes to thinking versus feeling.

The thinking side of me sees all of the 'problems' and the feeling side of me loves the feminine part of my personality.  My feelings make me a better parent, a more tolerant person, and I can enjoy life so much more.

I envy those who are more feeling...I'd rather have a pill to completely and thoroughly transform me to my 'preferred' gender: female

Always...Teree

I think a pill would destroy the things that make you who you are.  I think I am more sensitive because of this.  i think it shapes how I work in my decision making.  I wouldn't change what I feel so a pill would definitely be a nono.

No pill for me. I started crossdressing four years ago at age 56. I never had the desire when I was young, however, I always felt that I was different. I could be with my buddies and have a good time and feel somewhat detached.

My gender issues intensified around 2000. I wanted to bust but to what I didn't know. When I got the urge to try on my spouse's skirt, that was my first desire to put on a woman's article. When I acted upon that urge, it set in motion the events to which, now, I'man out and about MTF crossdresser. I don't feel any shame or guilt about it, either.
