This is something that has never and can never happen. There's no way to know how someone with gender dysmorphia would react. You would lose something that makes you special, it's dumb to act like that wouldn't cause a problem.
Although, I'll grant that the whole magical body swap might be enough specialness to make up for not being trans anymore.

I'm a dude. I do not and have never found man attractive. That said, I can look at someone and know he'a good looking or not.
And I have no interest ever being a chick. This was just a pot talk type of thread. I have nothing against Vanessa, but fuck gender dysmorphia.

I assumed she would murder her mom so she could be free when she swapped back.

I think we (a general we) should probably call it dysphoria in order to discriminate between a percieved malformation and an actual malformation. They are different things. It doesn't make one less than the other it only recognizes that there is a difference between them. Which is probably a good thing, since they are different.
But it's not like medical professionals can even agree on the use of morph/phor. I guess they're synonyms.

Oh come on. We all had a moment of confusion at 8 years old when Free Willy was released and Jesse gave us our first boner. Right?
Guys?

Nothing against you either, just shitposting
Definitions matter: Dysphoria is mental unease, Dysmorphia is physical unhappiness. I usually think of the cis person who gets dozens of plastic surgeries under their belt to suffer from dysmorphia. They're highly related in the mental illness camp I'd say, yep, but... the devil is in the details.
You can have both funny enough. This one tranny I knew (not personally, just on a shared forum) was asian; stunningly beautiful. By all intensive porpoises she had a successful transition, but still found herself ugly. She likely cured her dysphoria but dysmorphia plagued her regardless... no matter what people said she never felt attractive and it didn't manifest itself in the "I still look like a man" thing... she knew she looked feminine now but just felt ugly, and it was sooo out of touch with reality; she was a total knockout.

Would we be hot? Have an annoying laugh? Stealth farts or subwoofer level? Still vaccinated, all antibodies and immunities, or walking time bomb? Tastes in food the same? Emotional crying level unchanged? Would we have a hoof foot? Megan Fox thumbs? Speaking accent or lisp problems?
Most importantly.. would we become terrible at video games?

it's in the roots. Phor is mental, vaguely, a perception. Morph is physical, vaguely, a reality.
Like anorexia is a dysphoria. Being born with 11 toes is a dysmorphia. I'd say gender dysphoria is a dysphoria until some pathology can be identified. And maybe it can be. That's wholly possible.
It's convoluted and borders on a semantic argument. The root of the idea is where does the dysfunction lie? There is a dysfunction being expressed. Is this the result of a physical process or a mental process? Well, probably both in some ratio. But then you start getting into genetic determinism and that is just tiresome. Some people will tell you that just because the mind cannot be measured it therefore doesn't exist. Which seems like an awful lot of education invested in saying something completely fucking retarded.
The popular switch from phor to morph in treatment hasn't procured better results though. Really, that's the goal. Better treatment. And that's the only reason that phor/morph matters. Vanessa seems to be doing fairly well with the morphic approach. I suspect Jerle would have benefited more from an intensive psychological one.
If your doctor/psychiatrist is good it won't matter one bit which word he uses. And if they're not, well it still won't matter.
