25. Yeah
Although I'm pretty sure I'd feel just as out of place among the majority of the members of my sex if I were a woman as I already do as a man. Both genders confound me, but maybe that's just because most people confound me.

It would be a relief to no longer be expected to care about sports, except in their place I'd be expected to care about fashion. (Bleh!) I'd like not having to shave my face anymore, except I'd now be expected to shave my legs. (And I think giving my hairy legs one good shave would cause me to go through three or four razor blades!) I wouldn't mind not being expected to act "macho" or assume some of the traditional male gender roles that most men and women continue to expect, but I can't say I'd really be looking forward to some of the stuff women typically have to put up with, either. But for a week- why not? It seems like it would be a learning experience at least!
