Would be cool to be like "Today I'm gonna have a penis just for fun"

And I'm not just saying that because I want to see what it's like to spin it around and go "brrrrrm weeeee!"

So burglars could change their dicks into keys and break into my house? No thank you

The cis people version of this thought also exists, but it's just to like, change the size

This is basically Iain Banks' Culture series. Although in the books the sex change takes about a year

This is where my brain went to also. It would also give us all drug glands so we can get high whenever we want.

The Culture is the absolute best depiction of a utopian science fiction society and nothing else what I've read or seen even comes close.

Does anybody have any recommendations that come close or exceed it? I've also read The Dispossessed which is pretty cool but it's not really the same kind of optimistic utopian vibe as The Culture.

If you're a masochist, the drugs only need to be released with a little hustle. ;)

Would be incredibly useful for anyone having a period to say "ok penis mode engaged"

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Oh also when some asshole says "what's in your pants though" you could just change it to whatever proves them wrong

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

Also useful if you're dating somebody who's already been spoilered on what's in your pants, although i could see the effect of that wearing off after a while.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago (3 children)

I guess that depends on how it works? Does it change all the innards/important bits, or just exterior? I think having a period AND a penis might just make it worse

I think it would be way easier, you would just have to wear a dick beanie/thimble for a while

I've had them queued up as books to read. What does Iain Bank's Culture series say about gender?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

People have full reproductive control. That includes the ability to change sex at will, to control fertility, to pause pregnancies, even to get pregnant, change sex, and go through pregnancy as a man

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Beyond what the other reply said, there are also examples of societies that have 3 genders - for example, the people of Azad in The Player of Games have male, female, and apex (I think they do have the tech to change gonads, but would not use them because their society is turbo-sexist. Also CW for all sorts of gender stuff in the Culture series, it's NOT all sunshines and rainbows for the people outside the Culture itself).

nerd actually the Gethenians are strongly beholden to a biological cycle of sexlessness and sexuality and if anything have less control of their sexual capacities and desires than more familiar humans

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Which is possibly better because you won't have all these horn dogs posting horny on main and such. Everyone will be in normal mode until the orgy period starts for a few days then another month or so of normal.

I could see the huge benefit in swapping to a penis when using a public restroom.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

Or hiking! Or even writing your name in the snow just once

Dirt_Owl? More like Dirt_Frog. And yes, but more for my friends' sake than mine.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

Standing at the mirror, swapping back and forth, indecisive. Maybe the massive clit vulva, or maybe no balls... Maybe both today...?

Neil Gaiman’s short story Change is a good one about that

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

deeply weird story from a cis man but i'll admit reading it -- and a blog post by a trans woman about it -- made me think more critically about gender

e: here's a gungy pdf of the story and here is the blog post. I think it was probably the first time I read the word cis.

I'd at least like to make my testicles go away sometimes

Tired of those things

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

if i had that ability i'd only ever use it to get away with wearing leggings or something thin without having to tuck. beyond that? I'd feel weird without it

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

mid-piss. absolute chaos

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

I wish this but about breasts. I have a big gut so I wanna be able to switch back and forth between breasts that are bigger than my gut and no breasts at all. I guess I could just wear stuffed bras or maybe there’s shapewear that does that but I also don’t want to be perceived doing this. Just an acknowledgement that my desires fluctuate constantly.
