What it feels like for a girl... A male Reddit user's post asking women for advice on what to do if he 'magically became a girl tomorrow' generated over 9,000 replies

Many women took to the forum to dispatch beauty advice. ‘Invest in economy size boxes of hair ties and bobby pins. Then be prepared to lose every last one in under month. Repeat every month,’ one woman by the name of Eyeofdelphi.

‘Save your money and buy men's razors. They are just the same, except they're not pink, or scented, which makes them cheaper,’ chimed in another.

Fashion choices were also discussed. ‘Be prepared to walk home in the shoes you're wearing. If they would be too uncomfortable to do that, take along an alternate pair in which you could... Your 4am party feet will thank you,’ Dearness306 suggested.



Another cackled, ‘lol have fun not having pockets!’



Women all around agreed that the man would have a difficult time learning to walk in high heels.

‘All those bright colored bras? Yes, they show up through thin shirts.’ BEAUTY

‘Waterproof mascara. Without it, there goes your make-up, all over your face and nose.’

‘If you find a shade of lipstick you like, or the perfect bra, stock up because they will be discontinued next week.’

‘Don't overpluck!'

‘Do NOT buy cheap razors! Your ankles will die.’ SEX ‘Pee after you get frisky to avoid a UTI. And invest in cranberry pills.’

‘That's not your internal organs trying to implode. Just cramps.’

‘You may have a harder time reaching an orgasm now. That is OK, you just need to find out what works for you.’

‘If your period is late and you're starting to panic, just wear white pants and/or your nicest, most expensive underpants and before you know it you'll have a totally different reason to panic!’ LIFE

‘Put potato chips on your sandwiches!’

‘Baby wipes are your best friend. Keep a few in your purse at all times.’

‘It may feel strange, but brush your hair.’

‘Your breasts are affected by gravity!’

Several female Reddit users banded together to direct the man to /r/ABraThatFits, a sub forum that is dedicated to finding a perfect bra match. Others simply advised him to, ‘Get measured for your bra. Don't guess.’



Kellianne advised, ‘If you find a shade of lipstick you like, or the perfect bra--stock up because they will be discontinued next week.’

The discussion gained so much traction it soon skyrocketed to the front page of the Reddit sub channel. ‘Thank you guys so much for getting me on the front page of AskReddit :D Internet High-Five’ tallguy49 posted.

As the advice poured in, many men on the forum questioned whether they’d be up for the challenge of womanhood. ‘I can get ready in the morning as a man in 15 minutes. Shower included. I've yet to meet a female who says the same. I don't have time to be a female!’ user Ogow said.



‘Being female sounds like a complex endeavor…,’ said buntciscuit817.



‘So what I gather from this thread is that if I become a woman tomorrow, stay inside and cry in the fetal position until I become a man again,’ lamented one man.



Men and women alike wondered if the man would be up for the challenge of pregnancy and the unique monthly pain he would feel as a result of his new biology.



‘Cramps suck really bad,’ wrote reiter761. Another advised, ‘If your period is late and you're starting to panic, just wear white pants and/or your nicest, most expensive underpants and before you know it you'll have a totally different reason to panic!’

Women on the forum provided a lot of practical advice surrounding pregnancy, and many implored him to begin taking birth control medication immediately post-anatomical switch.



‘Being pregnant is not easy. Getting pregnant is. Make sure it's something you're ready for, or be proactive about preventing it.’



The group also seemed to agree that most men would have a hard time adjusting to the daily discrimination women face. They warned him to avoid pervy coworkers, get used to people talking over him, and forgive unwarranted comments about body shape and appearance. ‘People will insult you by calling you fat whether you're fat or not, whether they have a reason to be insulting you or not. Cultivate a realistic body image.’

It wasn’t all bad news though, users pointed out that with his new female status he could now feel free to cry without judgement, enjoy more free drinks at the bar, and experience the unique comfort of stretch pants and leggings.
