Interesting answers!
I am a girl and I am going to play a male lizard, the Red Prince, once the game is released because I want to experience his story. (That probably does not directly answer your question but I'd say it is a comparable situation?)
Well actually not very comparable. One institute conducted a social experiment once. They asked group of men and women same question - how will you feel if tomorrow you will wake up as an opposite sex? Well while women group gave some positive answers like "great its interesting to be a man for one day" "i would hv done this and that" Men on the other hand gave very negative answers like "God its awful" "I would have killed myself" etc etc....
So this showed us back then that woman are more positive about the idea of changing sexes. Like you are now Elwyn, no big deal for you.
The answers of other guys are very interesting in terms of how they took the question...
