Inspired by a random moment during a 24 hour gaming Marathon for charity .

So me and my wife and our friends are involved with a Charity group called "Extralife." Basically its a Charity group created by gamers to help out local charities with donations. We played for the Hospital for Sick Children and we ended up raising quite a bit .

The goal of the event is to have a team of gamers play video games for a whole day with one a few min. breaks for washrooms and snacks. So you can imagine that at certain point of the day, we started feeling the effects of sleep deprivation . So we started asking each other questions that we normally wouldn't Lol!

One question in particular that was asked, got my interest and I am going to ask you all the same question.

Say one morning that you and your spouce woke up and you suddenly realized that you switched genders. Would you still be attracted to them both physically and mentally?

My answer is yes. Sure! Knowing my Liren (lover,) I am sure she/he will the prettiest Man Alive. So why not!

Hell yes. I've no doubt I'd enjoy the switch thoroughly.

Sorry I just don't get this.

In this scenario, I've switched to male and he's switched to female? Or I've just switched to male?

Is this about imagining what I'd be like as a guy and what my husband would be like as a girl?

ROTFL

My husband is like the least feminine person I know so that is a big stretch.

Would I be gay for him????

Well first, would I ever be gay???

Ugh I have no idea.

Yes because true attraction is to the soul.

Its an exercise in Gender Neutrality when you think about it . If we are to assume that individual personalities aren't co-related to one's gender but rather are a product of the environment and other factors (lets say... Astrology ?) then basically, when you switch genders, your personalities should remain intact.

Now offcourse, the argument can be presented that while the personalities may remain intact, the biological augmentation of heterosexual couples would prevent them from having a homosexual type union, which is a fair point. That is why the hypothesis proposes that BOTH of you switch genders. That way, the biological yearning and attraction should theoretically be there (focused on each other for the same reason but... Driven by different hormones in an inverse situation Lol!)

There are girly guys out there, and Tomboyish girls so I doubt the relationship dynamics between you two will change that much. Society's outlook on things might be different but we aren't taking that into account.

Interesting idea isn't it?
