First, I have to say that I think it would be a tremendous experience to be a woman even for just a week. It's a once in a life time opportunity; like getting a chance to fly into outer space.
But for me it isn't that important to BE a woman. What I'm looking for is relief from the anxiety of not being able to express my inner woman identity. Would being a woman for a week do that? Maybe, for a week. But even that one week might be unsettling. Would I know HOW to be woman? Would I be comfortable informing my friends and relatives of my transformation? Would I feel at ease about going out of the house for that week? What do I wear? OMG the complications it would bring!
No, what I want is to accept and be accepted for the woman that I already am in concert with who I am as a man. My quest at this late stage in my life is finding a way to do that. Opening up to my wife, going on herbal HRT, undergoing a complete 180 degree change in my attitude towards women, dressing as a woman, feminizing my body, doing more of the housekeeping tasks, tearing up over tender moments, and many other things are what being a woman is to me. These things are probably going to be somewhat permanent, along with the mental serenity I manage to attain. I'll know when the transformation is complete, when I no longer feel a need to go further. Right now I can't say where that point will be.
So to answer the hypothetical question...
To be a complete, beautiful woman of my choice for a week (depending on the fine print, blah, blah) to me is worth the price of a 1 week's vacation for two in Bermuda, okay say Fiji. LOL. Yeah, I would take such a vacation if offered and pay the price.
