It has amused me how in the science fiction worlds where anybody can change into a fully-functional body of the opposite sex and back again as they choose, such as Iain Bank's Culture or John Varley's Eight Worlds, the sex ratio has remained 50/50. Of course the authors are also silent about which sex has the best orgasms ... something that I would love to settle as a question. :)

Love these speculations! I have also thought about a future when women are irrelevant as reproductive machines. I suppose there will be morphological freedom with a persons lifespan as well, meaning biological males and females will be able to switch genders. Presuming men are still heterosexual, I think they’ll want us to be around, or some subset of men will turn themselves into women.
