Depends on how safe it is and how long the recovery. And whether nerve endings will attach correctly. Imagine permanently having paralysis or a mild feeling of the funny bone being touched, or brainfreeze from too cold ice cream, except it’s everywhere in your body down from the neck? Yeah, no.
Given the immune issues, and the issues with trying to keep the brain well-oxygenated and free from diseases, I think the safer option would be surgery. It feels kinda odd to have your body no longer be your body, even if you’d then straight up have the right body. I think I could accept it, though, but still.
But if the body trade were possible without any immune issues and all that shit, then I’d def do that!
My greatest dream, greater even than being together with a partner, greater than surviving without large complications, is experiencing pregnancy and having a live baby out of it. I really want to know what it’s like first-hand, to experience the journey, feeling the baby kick. Hell, even the morning sickness, all the aches and labour pains, I’d take.
There’s actually a protocol for transfems to become pregnant, but you’d most likely only be able to carry to 33 weeks, assuming your hips aren’t widened from taking E early. Or you’d have to get C-section. That is my case either way.
33 weeks is fine, I can live with that. I then do get to experience the third trimester as well. But I think I want to keep the baby safe, therefore as far to the end as possible it is. The baby then probably couldn’t go “down”, but other than that it’d be fine. And tbh, I’d be fine with hip surgery too if it meant the baby could descend downward.
I don’t mind C-section either, lots of pregnant people do that already anyways.
There’s also a transfem gal who actually did an experiment with taking pregnancy hormones, for 10 months (yes, including post-pregnancy hormones). It was rough but omg, it read to be so affirming. She permanently went from a C to a G-cup(!), was able to help a friend out with breastfeeding, and had widened hips.

Worth it.
Dysphoria cured
New dysphoria unlocked
To be fair, assuming I’d switch bodies with someone else who I’d chill with, I would all be fine with it.
I’d give them tips on my old body’s particularities, how to maintain it best and so on.
