+TODO for "Sexual Dimorphism"—
+
+And because the brain and body are an integrated system, people's intuitive sense of [which parts are "me"](https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/vjmw8tW6wZAtNJMKo/which-parts-are-me) and which parts are "just" "my body" (which can be swapped out without changing who "I" am), may be _much less in touch with reality_ than they'd like to think.
+
+A common theme in female transformation erotica is that sexuality "goes with the body": in these stories, men who have been magically transformed into women, often express positive or negative emotions (depending on the story and the author) about discovering that they're attracted to guys now.

> The vast majority of men are not what the vast majority of women would most prefer, or vice versa. I don’t know if anyone has ever actually done this study, but I bet that both gay and lesbian couples are happier on average with their relationship than heterosexual couples. (Googles… yep, looks like it.) <https://news.softpedia.com/news/Gay-and-Lesbian-Families-Are-Happier-than-Heterosexual-Ones-77094.shtml>
Anne Lawrence described autogynephiles as ["men who love women and want to become what they love."](/papers/lawrence-becoming_what_we_love.pdf) But it's worse than that. We're men who love what we _wish_ women were, and want to become _that_.
