    Reminds me of the Barbie movie:

    Barbie: “I don’t have a vagina!” (points at Ken) "and he doesn’t have a penis!“

    Ken as Barbie leaves earshot: " I have all the genitals "

    I’m happy as a cis dude, but I’d be lying if I said I never thought to myself “hey, what if I had a 1m dick? or none? or both at the same time…?”

        There was a show I remember way back called “Testees” where it followed a couple of guys who were human Guinea pigs for some pharma company. Each episode was generally about some new drug and the horrible/hilarious side effects and shenanigans that would ensue. There was also a 3rd guy who was basically Frank from It’s Always Sunny, and the B plot would flow him sometimes. In one episode, the company actually makes a penis enlargement pill that works, however a little too well. It’s so big that every time he gets an erection, he blacks out from the drop in blood pressure. Been a while since I’ve thought of that show lol.

      afaik the definition of “cisgender” doesn’t include actively disliking being different, it just means you’re satisfied as you were born/identified by society.

      is there a term for being largely happy as you are but just sorta being a little bit bored? it’s like i’ve eaten kibble my entire life and it’s perfectly nutritious and enjoyable but i’d just like to try some other stuff from time to time as well, so long as i can go back to the kibble when i want.

        If there were an easy way of transperimenting, you might give it a go, but you’d definitely want to go back afterwards. That makes sense. Perhaps you could call it 1st choice cis? Not-transperiment-averse is too much of a mouthful.

          personally at least a big part of it is that i wouldn’t really consider myself trans even if i changed my body and put on girly clothes or whatever, perhaps i’d change my mind then but as it stands i think i wouldn’t feel like a woman or whatever else, and i have a strange relationship to feeling male in the first place. I sorta don’t care and care A LOT at the same time, it’s very strange and i can’t really even define how i feel in my own head.

          And it’s not that i’d necessarily want to go back afterwards, i’d just want the ability to do so whenever i want, i want to be able to change form at will so i never have to feel stuck. It’s like being unable to make the food you’re used to when moving to another part of the world, the new stuff is great but you’re just so used to your native cuisine that not having it available is slightly distressing.

            Thanks for explaining more. I feel like I blundered about a bit in the topic, but you graciously took the time to share your perspective with me and I got a window into another life. In the sea of memes and politics, there was a little nugget of human reality that I got to share in. Thank you. I hope you have a long and very happy life.

    I read this as ‘all at once’, and envisioned a Cronenberg-esque monstrosity. Get Ronald Emmerich on the line, I have an idea for Moonfall 2…

    Shapeshifting is very useful, though I prefer the other benefits though, like the abilities and disguising yourself. I’d rather not change my genitals unless it’s absolutely necessary (i.e. as part of disguising yourself).

    The character Pie’o’pah from Clive Barker’s Imajica has a sort of “third” genitalia which can both penetrate and be penetrated. Through the story, the main character is kind of magically seduced by this, initially revolted, but it becomes a point of personal growth which helps unlock his true potential. It’s a really cool and weird (and long) story with some pretty ahead-of-its time pontification on trans and non-binary identities.
