If I had a knockout body like Ranma-kun's and suddenly got a knockout
body like Ranma-chan's I think I'd react pretty much in the same way
as Ranma-kun first did.  However, if it were the other way around,
I'd detest it at first, then I'd be curious about what effect it has on
girls, then I'd go back to detesting it.

As a gal, it depend if I already knew about the Jusenkyou
curse and how it worked.  I don't think I could handle it if
I thought it was permanent, but if I did know I'd probaly do the 
following:
1.  Freak-out.  This would continue for some weeks.
2.  Refuse to leave the house for fear of accidently 
transforming.
3.  Try do deal with it by throwing out all my feminine clothes
and wear more androgynous stuff.  Also be extemely leary of
weather conditions.  If I absolutely have to go out in the rain, I
would wear rubber, boots, rubber gloves, heavy rain coat and 
carry a monster unbrella.
4.  Calm down a bit, and decide to "experiment".  (Not like that 
you hentai!).  I mean stuff like seeing how my upper strength has
increased, interact with my friends (thoses who know and don't 
know), see if things really are different for a guy (better service in
restuarants?)
5.  Possibly find "good points" about the curse.  Like walking home
late at night as a guy.  (Let's face it most targets are females.)  Also
act like the "perfect gentlemen", I always like the old- fashioned (but
not sexist ) type, if I were a guy I'll be able to show how its done!  Thus
my brother would have no excuse for acting like such a baka!
6.  Deal with it and get on with my life like Ranma does.  I'll have some
explaining to do if I ever decide to marry and have kids, but what
the heck, we're getting more open minded everyday!
