What would you do if everybody in your life tried to force you to pretend to be the opposite gender?

Would you go along with it in order to not get punished or ostracized? Or would you refuse to obey and risk losing your family, social life, and career as long as you could be yourself and stop living a lie?

I would go along with it—disobeying is not worth the risk.

I would never give in to it—no matter the consequences.

I'd love to vote B, but I'm afraid I'd actually go along with it. What would help is a movement of people in the same position and their allies demanding change and acceptance.

broke havoc in a moment of madness and probably kill some of them intentionally or not is irrevelant (which i have a gut feeling that both would be the case)

[Asker]

You'd be willing to risk life in prison, where the other prisoners and even the guards may try to pull the same shit on you? Or were you thinking more along the lines of living on the run and making a new start and a new identity somewhere no one knows you?

[aceleon]

you see, there is not always possible when you are in how white rage and start seeing red

[AngryCarl]

I'd probably go along with it. It sounds like a very amusing situation. Like something from an Oscar wilde play. Everyone likes Oscar Wilde, amirite?

[Asker]

It could be amusing, but wouldn't it get old after a few decades?

[AngryCarl]

Oh hell yeah. Probably after about a week actually.

[Asker]

Oh. What would you do then?

[jahaims]

Cut them all off for being mentally ill beyond help

[OtterMan68]

the odds of this ever happening are about a billion to one.

[Asker]

Closer to a million to one, but yes they are very small. That's why it's a hypothetical.

[gorydetails]

But no one would do that.

[Asker]

This is just a hypothetical, but you'd be surprised.

[gorydetails]

Would I be surprised that people blindly follow authority? of course not.

[Asker]

So you know that it's not true that "no one would do that".

[gorydetails]

No one would force someone to pretend to be the opposite gender.

[Asker]

So you would be surprised after all.
