"Seriously though, I wonder how our body insecurities would carry over? At what point does the novelty of my new breasts wear off and the distress over the parts that sag where they shouldn't begin?
Would these feelings be more acute because of a lifetime spent evaluationg women's attractiveness?"

I think they would be present, but not as acute. You spent your formative years as a guy playing baseball and building your confidence up, not as a girl reading teen magazines and being indoctrinated into the cult of insecurity that is womens marketing.

"And see how much gender bias there is in the world for real."
Alot i would guess.
I remember thinking how unfair it was that i made a dollar fifty more than my black female co-worker, just because I am a middle class white guy. (Same exact job. She even had more seniority.)

As for me, i would make a truely stunning UBER-HOT chick. I have the perfect body for it! (I have had atleast 2 g-fs tell me that. And when i actually started asking around, everyone thinks i should have been born a girl!) That does not mean i am a wimp. I just have a naturally slender build. (I would wear a dress size 4, prolly an A or a small B cup) I am also pretty strong, as i take my physique pretty seriously.
Also, when I change back and forth, am I the same girl every time? Cuz if i am someone different, that changes EVERYTHING!
How totally socially liberating. Yet at the same time it would kill any hope for a relationship, which is where some real understanding could come from. (If you get involved, you would have to stay a girl until the relationship ended, or they would be left feeling all abandoned, and stuff.)
I think i would prefer being the same girl everytime.

Here is something else i have always wondered about:

"I'd switch to a man any time I want to go running at night, or engage in other activities that many advise women not to do alone (backpacking, rock climbing, traveling, walking around the city at night, etc.)"
I would do all of these things as a girl for several reasons.
1) I have always wondered what are the odds of being attacked. I mean, there is alot of stats and stuff, but how reliable are they? Are they REAL, or just a cautionary tale?
2) How would it change the experience to run or w/e and always have to be ON ALERT watching for danger?
3) It would be a nice surprise for the attacker to try something foul, and then when he least expects it, turn back into my guy self, and *hurt* him! Although honestly i am pretty sure i could do just as much damage either way.
