I had a dream last night that the sex characteristics of the genders were switched, so women had penises, facial hair, etc., and men had vaginas, boobs, etc., but in every other way (e.g. socially) everything else was the same. In this scenario do you think you would identify as the other gender?

I'm a trans man, and though it feels weird to think about, I think I would identify as a woman in that scenario, but I found the concept interesting and wondered what other people would think.

Would my brain's sex characteristics switch too? Would my "female brain" become male along with my genitals? Since that's the likely source of my dysphoria, the question to that answer is also the answer to your question.
