I Want To Swap Boddies With The Opposite Gender
I've had a conversation along these lines with a group of friends before. Even before I realized I was gender-fluid. I would actually love to be able to be a woman for a month or two. I'd like to experience things from a woman's perspective. My female friends can tell me about micro-aggressions ("Smile, baby" or being followed or simply being openly and wantonly eyed up while walking or a million other things), for example, until they're blue in the face. On some level, I can even understand it. But to truly empathize, I think experiencing it would be helpful.
Similarly, during that conversation all those years ago, I picked that length of time on purpose. I'd have to deal with a period or two that way. Again, women can tell me what cramps feel like and such, but I just can't relate no matter how hard I try.
There are a million things, some big and some small, that women and men just experience differently. I'd love to get a better understanding of them, to empathize better with female friends and family.
