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.

+A common theme in female transformation erotica (search for _tg caption blog_ if you want examples) is that sexuality "goes with the body": in these stories, men who have been magically swapped bodies with women, often express excitement or horror (depending on the story and the author) about the discovery that they're attracted to guys now. But how would that work? That experience would be something you'd predict if sexuality was implemented in a separate brain module that could stay with the rest of the body even while the "soul" (the implementation of someone's personality, memory, _&c._) gets swapped out.

+But if the brain isn't actually modularized in that particular way, the magical transformation would have to do a lot more engineering work

-> At least, I have a MASSIVE home territory advantage because I can appeal to Eliezer's writings from 10 years ago, and ppl can't say "Eliezer who? He's probably a bad man"

+And because the brain and body are an integrated system, people's intuitive sense of [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 straightforwardly connected with reality than they'd like to think.
