I was thinking of changing gender, for the laugh.?

Need something to make me seem interesting. It’d be a talking point anyway when I meet people.? Is there anything I should know?

    You should know that in every developed nation you wouldn't be allowed to do this without both a diagnosis of gender dysphoria and years of talk therapy, including one year of living as your preferred gender. All of this has to happen before you'd be allowed to seek gender surgery and some version of all of that would be required to officially change your ID.

    If you're a man identifying as a woman you can get away with anything. Literally rape and downloading child porn have had cases dismissed because the poor poor twans criminal was experiencing tragic gender dysphoria and couldn't help it.

    edit: You don't have to take hormones or undergo any surgery to be legally considered a woman. All you need to do is self-ID. If you are stupid/crazy enough to destroy your body, well enjoy the pain.

    Yah, you're going to spend the next couple of years undergoing painful surgeries and dealing with the heinous effects of changing your hormones (which you'll be taking for the rest of your life).

    You will face continual harassment at the hands of bigots until you can "pass" as your new gender, and you're going to spend a lot of time when you're in public worrying about which bathroom you can use.

    There will be plenty of things to laugh about, if that really is your only goal, but the soul sucking pain during the process should make you think twice.

    Understanding what it really takes will certainly clear up any misgivings about trans people using different bathrooms just so they can get a peep, particularly in the day-and-age of getting far better porn off the Internet.

    Good luck!

    I think you should go and volunteer at hospice wards. So you wouldn't be so bored.
