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.
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?
