While I think I would be okay as a chick, I dunno about the idea... technically, would we both just be masturbating?
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."

In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

Well, yes, we're different people, but alternate universe versions. Sometimes alternate universe version are the opposite gender, sometimes just evil/good or left-wing/right-wing versions of ourselves...

But genetically, psychologically, emotionally, etc, we'd be the same person. Let's face it, at least genetically, if you were opposite-gender versions of yourselves, any child would be a product of incest...

A DNA, fingerprint, or brain-wave test would be indistinguishable.

But technically, we're the exact same person. If I died, would my insurance be cancelled even though I'm still alive? Would life insurance not be paid?

GAT, if we were talking about clones, would you make the same arguments? This person is basically a clone of you. It is not you.

So what if you're both identical? You're separate individuals.

I think this is appropriate here.
