Would you change your gender?

[Vulpes Abnocto]

I fear the reaper. The reaper is my greatest fear xD

and why not

Love that song.
And I understand that mindset. But over the years I came to realize that death isn't necessarily what I'm afraid of: What I fear is being gone.
But death is really just a side effect of life, and we all face it eventually. Nobody gets out alive.
So we have to live as best and as fully as we can before our number is called, so to speak.

I wouldn't. I don't like girl parts, so I wouldn't want them stuck to my body. No offence to those with girl parts, they're just not for me.

Same here
(insert LGBT flag here)

Yes.

You don't know anything, people eventually forget you. The experience of death is currently uncomprehensible.

No thanks. I like being female XD

DISCLAIMER - Sex/Gender = Same Bloody Thing to me.

But thats not right, and I do not care who's toes I step on. Between sex and gender, synonyms they might be, but not the same. Sex refers to the biological binary of either male or female. There is no in between, outside of birth defects or other biological issues.

Gender is a much for fluid term, at least as far as today goes. You can change your gender just by thinking about it hard enough, as far as tumblr is concerned. Do you see where I’m going with this? It is now possible to absolve yourself of guilt by working enough academic nuance into a word to fundamentally change it — in your favor.

But as long as we are talking about physically changing the way your body fuctions and what sexual reproductive organs you have, the term is "sex".


To answer your question, no. I would not change my sex. I am happy with who I am. Going through some sort of surgery to experience what the other sex feels like for any ephemeral amount of time would NOT be worth it to me.

I agree. The scary part isn't the dying itself, but just the thought that you will no longer think or move, and after time, people will just forget you ever existed.

Depends how you die

I think dying awake would be more easy mentally then dying asleep. At least you get to say goodbye to your family then.

 

[GalladeGuy]

Depends how you die

Yeah, that's true. Death can be terrifying if you die in the wrong way. (Like being stabbed for example.)

New thread for talking about death

[CIAwesome526]

Nope!

I don't want to get off on too much of a tangent here, but as sex and death are two of the main driving forces in society I think they're inexorably linked.
You're right. People are forgotten in time. That's why we have to make our mark on the world. We have to build things, or create things, that will live on when we're gone. And more than our marks on the world, we also have to make our marks on people. They are the ones who will carry our memory as far as they can. They are the ones who will be most influenced by who we were, and live differently because of how we affected them.
For instance, I'm not the same man I would have been had I never known Densetsu. I'm a better man because of his influence. And I hope that people will say the same for me when I'm gone.

Before I start I made a new thread
http://gbatemp.net/threads/discussion-death.429043/

Yeah, that's why I keep trying to influence creations. Like, pictochat3D was my idea but it was thanks to tjessx that is was possible. All I did was drive him but within driving someone you are also part of the project so you still have some mark.

It's also partly why I want to be a reporter so bad top kek

[MajinCubyan]

Not even for an hour. I'm pretty happy with my body, who I am and how I came out. Hella sexy.

I understand everyone is different and sometimes you don't feel like "you."
Shoulda had a Snickers...
