Someday changing your computer's wallpaper, choosing what color shoes you want to wear, or adding a air freshener to your car will be called frankenstinean and unnatural
I just changed my wallpaper to a cool-ass heaxbear meme with a tyrannosaur labeled "gender dysphoria" being attacked by a giant crocodile in the colors of the trans flag labeled "fucktons of estrogen", so this dystopian future day has already dawned on mankind!
I highly recommend Susan Stryker's essay My words to Victor Frankenstein atop the Village of Chamounix to any fellow trans women (CW: includes descriptions of transphobia and suicide, also it's from the 90s and includes some outdated terms). It really helped me accepting myself on days were i just felt ugly and monstrous. When the world creatures you, sometimes you need to spit it right back at them.
I just kind of work around that by being in love with people's disapproval. I lowkey want everyone to hate me a little because I find their scorn highly amusing. On the downside this has ended up straining relationships with people I otherwise wouldn't want to piss off because I barely even register a interaction with another human being unless someone gets mad at me
Sometimes i see genuine horror in the eyes of bigots when i'm walking down the street and i must admit it's kinda fun somebody as harmless as me can scare the shit out of them.
This is already how Chistian fundies see anybody conceived in vitro, carried to term by a surrogate mother etc.
