You have a magic spell that lets you change gender, race, ethnicity, body size/shape, or some combination of the above, for one day only before changing back. Do you use it, and if so how?

How would your answer change depending on the answer to that question? I'm interested in both scenarios I suppose. :-)

I don't think I would even use it. I suspect the benefits would be questionable at best, due to my own bias. If I were to change myself to a black woman, and if I (for example) think I would be subject to discrimination for that, I think I would perceive things in that light. How could I truly know if it is there, or if I just feel it should be there so I misinterpret things to see what isn't there? Confirmation bias is real, yo.

Flipping the question: You have a magic spell that forces one other person to become a different gender/race/whatever for 24 hours. How do you use it?
