Sigh, I do feel sorry for people that trust more in faith in magic
then science... One day this may all be possible but it will
require understanding the brain rather then some quick fix spell or
potion.

I can't believe someone posted their phone number. lordofswap must
want to swap more than I do. :-)

The best chance for a true sex change is for scientists to nail
down strings in string theory. Then you could find out the string
vibration of whatever woman you want and use that "melody" to
vibrate your own strings to the same tune and become her. I'd read
that it's theoretically possible to change a wooden chair into a
potted plant this way, so why not a sex change? The only question
I'd have about it is would identity death be an issue here.

String theory is just as stupid as a magic potion in my opinion,
for a start they would be to small to ever be able to measure let
alone manipulate, might as well go for time travel and go back to
conception and pick a different sperm...
Theoretical physics is not the solution to gender change,
biological 3D printing maybe, Stem cell research maybe, a better
understanding of the brain and spine yes, nanobots controlled by
computer surgeons yes... There are developing practical sciences
that will allow gender change one day without the need for some
mystical theoretical or magical transformation to take place.
Sorry but don't waste a life dreaming of impossibilities when you
could spend it researching actual ways to change your gender, also
definatly don't give anyone money for a 'magic option' or any other
quick fix as they are all cons... You would be better off spending
that money on educating yourself in a relavent biology disapline
then maybe you will be at the front of the line when it comes to
human trials.
That's my opinion anyway, not wanting to upset anybody.

"... they would be to small to ever be able to measure let alone

Perhaps at this point in time. But who knows what the future holds?
"... don't waste a life dreaming of impossibilities when you could
spend it researching actual ways to change your gender..."
How do you think that research starts? It usually starts with an
"impossible" dream.
:-)
Oh... and science, medicine, and technology are decades away from
being able to "change my gender" to my satisfaction. And by the
time that they have crossed that hurdle - then I'll have to wait
for them to figure out the age-regression - certainly wouldn't be
much fun for me to be an old woman without getting to be a young
woman first.

I maintain that the most achievable means of transformation
available to us is partial brain transplantation. Transplant only
the higher brain structures such as the cerebrum onto the existing
brain stem, cerebellum, and limbic system. This would conceivably
preserve motor and reflex functions as well as procedural memory
(those things we tend to do on autopilot - like walking) of the
host body as well as basic emotional responses while preserving the
conscious mind of the person being transplanted in.
That's a massive oversimplification of course but the basic premise
is sound. It requires only an advancement in neuroscience along the
lines of spinal chord repair which is being actively worked on with
no small measure of success. The brains inherent ability for repair
and to reroute around damaged tissue makes this even more
plausible.
Any volunteers for testing? Will need an equal number of male and
female participants so there will be a "ladies transplant for free"
every thursday night offer :)

Well I know enough about the Heisenberg principle to know that
anything smaller then a water molecule will be very hard to play
with and string theory is insanely smaller then that, smaller even
then the 10^-16 m limit. Theoretically as tiny as 10^-35 meters...
I think we will have discovered if god exists before we ever detect
anything that small let alone manipulate it... And with what I'd
ask? Matter isn't small enough to even consider it... Relativistic
effects would be immense.
Sorry don't think I'm having a moan, I just have a professional
gripe with the general publics lack of understanding of string
theory.
The partial brain transfusion would be good though, I can see that
working. Also the developments in growing new limbs with 3D
printers looks achievable. As for age, if you can grow a limb why
not a 3 year old girl? Morally people may take issue, also if
people live forever they may ban reproduction, at least until space
travel is proved / disproved to be feasible.
Would you still be you if your body was changed though is another
argument, I'd say no, you would quickly become someone else. People
are forever changing, your not you from ten years ago, that person
is dead. Your some new person with some of the memories of that ten
years younger you, maybe you share some tastes and interests, but
that wasn't guaranteed as time and experience ravaged you body and
your brain. As such I think some kind of memory transplants are
more likely in the future, total recall style, either giving a man
the memories of being a woman or if willing swapping a man and
woman's memories to give them both the feeling of being body
swapped.
As a non believer in the soul I'd be happy with that, heck even if
the soul did exist I'd rather mine was happy with the memories of a
woman who grew up wishing she was a man and now is then of a man
wishing he were a woman.
I don't mind fantasy and fetish, any sci fi / mystical or magical
plot device is great, but in real life please don't be expecting
teleport devices, magic options, reality manipulating music etc to
be real, more importantly don't buy into anyone who says they can
break the laws of nature.
Well obviously you can if you want, I'd just hate anyone to waste
their money and feel disappointment after.
Personally I'd hope for full immersion virtual reality within the
next twenty years and stick with the films less likely computer
games that will follow.

Your brain may change, and new brain cells may grow into it, but I
highly doubt you lose the old ones. That old saying about how
"every 7 years every cell in your body is replaced. Therefore, you
are essentially a clone of yourself" isn't exactly accurate then.
Your body is a clone but your brain still retains the same
information therefore it's still the same brain from your early
childhood. Some parts deep inside remain the same, even though
newer memories, experiences, and developments change the you who
you are now. Sometimes when you sleep you can experience these
differences. Once you wake up you realize just how much you've
changed over the years.
It truly is freaky.
