- What do you foresee as being the biggest advantages or most exciting possibilities associated with this physical transformation?
- What do you foresee as the biggest disadvantages or sources of distress?
- Remember that your personality, your sexual preferences and desires remain the same as they were the night before, but now you must live in the world with a different sexual body. So, if you identified as heterosexual before, you now fit the criteria for a homosexual person. However, if you identified as homosexual before, you now fit the criteria for a heterosexual person. If you identify as bisexual, you are now bisexual of a different sex/gender.
- How would others perceive you? Think about significant others, acquaintances and strangers.
- How would you feel about yourself?
- If your gender identity matched your sex before this change(female identifying as woman; male identifying as man), then you are now transgendered. If you were transgendered before, then your sex now matches your gender identity.
