If it was scientifically possible to change your race and gender, which one would you rather change?

Question

Why would I ever want to change my race or my gender? If anyone thinks one race has it easier than their other, then they’re mistaken. The hardships I go through in my life, are my own. For some reason, it is going to make me stronger. I love medicine, I would have to go through rigorous coaching, and study hard every single day. Would I have it easier if I were white, or black or Hispanic? Absolutely not.

It’s heartbreaking that some people on here say that they’d change their race. Why are they not happy and proud to be who they truly are? Does the level of melanin pigment in a person’s body determine the amount of hardships they have to go through in life? Isn’t life in itself a miracle?

Im well aware that racism exists, but if everyone wished they were “lighter” or maybe even “white” then what’s the point in admiring and having different cultures? Racism is never going to go away as long as mankind exists. You just have to strive to be a better person today than you were yesterday and treat everyone with respect and kindness.

I would never ever change my ethnicity or my gender. I’m Asian by race and Indian by ethnicity. I have Portuguese and Burmese ancestry as well. But it goes way back. I’m a female. Both ethnically, and gender-wise my ancestors who were the same as me have gone through a lot. Women were repressed in the olden times, and even today, in some parts of the world, patriarchy exists. Indians do face racism in other countries because they have a different culture. India is unique, you’ll find people of varying skin tones here.

Never in a million years would I ever change my ethnicity or my gender. I’m happy to be just the way I am.

Obviously, I would pick a different trait to change; my height. To be 6'5"/195 cm. To have those extra six inches and finally no longer be a shortie. But that's not one of the options on here.

Of the two options here, I would change my race if I could. But considering I couldn't pick the actual one to be, then no. I'd want to be either a mix of everything (Like Black/White/Filipino), or some unknown race no one could pin down or figure out. I'm so sick of people assuming stereotypes about me due to being dark-skinned and thinking I must fit their stupid preconceptions I despise, like smoking weed, watching sports, or being uneducated. I don't really fit into humanity at all, to be honest.

So if I can't become tall, I guess I would change nothing then. What's the use?

There's only about 4 million of my people in the whole world. That's tiny and that makes us rather unique. We're one of the ones people in the world that seem to actively keep records of our family going backs over a thousand years. My family was invol in some of the most crucial battles and wars in Europe for the last 200 years. Prior the that a whole list of cool that jga including Nobility, Knighthood, wine making for some of the holy Roman emperors. Also when Rome was still a republic they we wealthy merchants and land owners. My earliest recorded ancestors sacked Rome and we're the first to do so. Then they mixed with the Romans. Then they mixed with the Goths and Lombards. That's 4 major warrior cultures colliding. Freaking badass! But I also love Scottish, Japanese, and Russia culture. I'd take a roll of the dice for any of those as well. Japan for all that damn food though! 😍

I enjoy the idea of a woman's body too much to want to become one. And I have no idea how a race lift would even help me. If anything, I'd change majors in 2007 to printing and publishing, so I could have a degree capable of landing me a job. TV production kind of fell apart where I was. Crazy everything got so political.

I'm at a toss up between either turning into a "ladyboy" or being born a biological female.
One of their most powerful things is their abilities to amplify their beauty with clothes and make-up (men can't do the same even if they tried really hard to. I know, I tried).
Plus I can comfortably have sex with women (or transgender women) without "homosexuality" becoming an issue. Way more women are comfortable being lesbian than men are comfortable being gay.

I'd change my race. As much as I enjoy being a black woman, part of me would love to experience life as a different ethnicity and see if they're treated differently than I am, and if so, how.

Adam1978 · Answer

I wouldn't mind a bit darker skin I am pale like a ghost. But it nothing I would go get done. It's not worth any complications.

Lliam · Answer

I'm proud of my heritage (American of Irish-Catholic ancestry). And I love being a heterosexual male. I wouldn't change a thing.

cookiecrusher · Answer

Would be interesting to try all options and variations.

Gender difference would probably be most interesting as race differences aren't big.

So yeah, i wouldn't mind trying running around as a woman for a while. Experience most of life before it ends.

DaveJord · Answer

Yup... love who you are, trust me surrendering to insecurities doesn't resolve your problems. It may give you a a different way to coup with it, but it also creates a whole new sets of problems and issues for you to address.

menina · Answer

I would change my race. I would be either white or mixed race.

AmandaYVR · Answer

I wouldn't. But I'd go for gender change cause that would be far more different and interesting.

OnKoing · Answer

A predefined amount of time as a woman would be fun, say a week. Take a look at the whole thing from another angle...

sage2021 · Answer

I like the way I am and can't even imagine being any different.

DonkeyDan · Answer

I think I'm happy with the way I am, I think if i had to chose one it would be race, because I'm not permanently changing to a woman, I like being a guy.

RolandCuthbert · Answer

It is weird to claim it is scientifically possible to change your race, when not a single person here can define what race is scientifically.

Sonorous · Answer

Race. And I'd be a white man.

msc545 · Answer

Gender, if possible. Women have it a lot easier and better.

MTC29 · Answer

I'm satisfied with the hand I was dealt. No changes.

BestWoman · Answer

I am a Kurd and I am satisfied with my race, I would still be the same person, same race, same sex.
