Does your perception change when the voice changes?
Try reading your favorite RSS feed, blog, or any other information source on the web with the gender of the writer switched. Yes, I thought this was a bit wierd. Until I tried it. When you expect your perception of a male source to be reinforced by the pronouns “he” and “him”, and instead read “she” and “her”, strange things begin to happen. First you laugh at how incongruous it seems. But soon, your mind actually hears what you are reading in the opposite gender’s voice. In some cases by simply by shifting pronouns, you react very differently to what you are reading. And, in some cases it is just a lot of fun. Try it yourself. The regender translator will automatically do the pronoun switching for you.
