It would be difficult for you, especially in those days where the painful part of womenhood begins to manifest...
I want to die, be a female and be the first evolved human.

If you cannot handle pressure of society then it would be difficult to be a black female in a society where one is judged based on not only on gendar, not only on melanin content but on what shade of brown you are and what type of hair that grows from your head.

It's oddly clinical. I think it's an age thing, I've noticed my youngest brother call all women females and it's all over the internet.
Philosophical question, but here goes:
I'm presuming you're an adult, somewhere between adolesence and dying of old age? You say that you want the "complete experience" of being female, but that sounds like you want the entire life, from birth to death, without having your own complete experience of being male first?
If so, then at some point you will have more experience of being female than male, at which point, doesn't the female you become more of the real you than you are?
You mean the hemorrhoids?
^That is not unique to females lol
It's not just an age thing, I know men of all ages who do it. It's a sexist thing. But it is one of those subtle things: in some contexts "female" is the more appropriate word obviously, in other contexts it is used by men to treat women as less than human. You don't really see people referring to men as "males" in random conversation, yet you hear men refer to women as "females" in random conversation all the time.
And before anyone gets their boxers in a twist about feminists overreacting, it's borne out by evidence. A man referring to a woman as "a female" in inappropriate context is one of the most surefire signs that he's sexist.
Yeah, my brother is actually pretty sexist. His opinions on women are shockingly backwards.It's not just an age thing, I know men of all ages who do it. It's a sexist thing.

Even from the most basic language stand point, "woman" is a noun, whereas "female" can be both, but is generally used as an adjective. So in most cases, whether aware of it or not, anyone calling a woman "female" has pretty much made the decision to talk about women in terms of a description, rather than acknowledge their being.
How old is he?
25.
That is a intresting question and the answer is that I am not sure what the impact would be on me. That to me though makes it even more intriguing because you don't know what would happen. Same thing with the other things I mentioned. Wouldn't most people here agree that one of the best things about life is not knowing how everything you do will play out? What better thing could you imagine other than exploring different forms of exsitence?

Trying to figure out what (if any) point you're attempting to make but I can't work it out.
I like your thinking!
He's only interested in sex. The closest thing he even has to a long term relationship is a friendship with our sister-in-law's twin sister, he frequently demeans her and considers her flaws to be representative of all women. But I don't think there is ever an excuse to be sexist. He's just an immature asshole who thinks he can act like a 14 year old for the rest of his life.
Fascinating. Let me see if I get it. As far as I am concerned, the term female (referring to the noun used in those individuals within a species that commonly have two X chromosomes, particulary mammals.) is generally used when speaking of an animal breed, or is applied to humans when one speaks technically of their physiognomy. At least that's how it is in my Spanish language.
Here, when we employ the term female (not feminine, the adjective used to describe qualities of the female human gender) in a woman outside a scientific context, is clearly a term used in a sexist/contemptuous way towards them, referring to women in a purely sexual tone (Example: What a female! -- When a man says this, he expresses an explicit sexual desire for a woman, but reduces her to a mere piece of meat that could provide him satisfaction). Is it the same for you English-speaking people?
Basically. It will sometimes have a dismissive tone as well.
I've been dead before. Meh, nothing special. It's like sneezing really hard or having really thick anesthetic.
As others have mentioned, people have been revived. Some describe the tunnel of light, which is probably an effect of the limbic system shutting down due to anoxia. Other describe a complete discontinuity of sensation with nothing experienced in between. In any case, the transition from life to death doesn't take a nanosecond unless you sit on an exploding atomic weapon (even then, it's probably more like a few nanoseconds as X-rays only travel 30cm in a nanosecond) -- you'd be vapourised but you wouldn't feel a thing as nerve impulse speeds are far too slow. In more usual reality, some of your cells die before others in a cascade of failure with you probably losing consciousness hopefully after seconds or minutes rather than hours. For many people, the time before becoming unconscious can be a painful, unpleasant process. Pass me the milk of the poppy please...
