    Woah that'd be a biological and sociological wonder as it goes from the experimental stage to normalization. You could quite literally put Simone de Beauvoir's "One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman" from its sociological implications to material application.

      You can already do that just by taking HRT. I'm materially growing jiggly boobs as we speak.

        First off :volcel-vanguard:

        Secondly :quagsire-pog:

        Thirdly I just find it positively fascinating and wonderful that we're approaching another step to allowing humanity to liquidate gender roles and transcend another shackle of barbarism.

          I'm kinda baffled by how easy this is. Estradiol is so cheap to manufacture, and you just rub the stuff on your arm and wait for the magic to happen. The really tricky surgical stuff is also amazing, just yesterday i learned there's a surgeon in Portland that literally alters the resonance chambers in voice feminization surgeries instead of only reducing vibrating mass of the vocal folds. But while that's cool and all, i'm very in love with how much gender affirmation you can do with such simple means.

            You know I keep hearing about so many life-changing and life-saving medicine that's literally cheaper than a shovel-full of dirt and it both amazes me that's a thing and disgusts me it's artificially gatekept to gouge us for our wealth.

            Also I didn't know resonance chamber alteration was a thing, does that minimize surgical action on the vocal folks to reduce patient recoverytime while also accomplishing the set objective in vocal alteration? if yes then that's as the cool kids say, very nifty

            It's jokingly referencing her experiencing the effects giving her jiggly books as she speaks.

                I don't think you should apologize or say you're too sensitive towards those kinds of jokes. I think it's not only understandable, but something people should be more mindful of. So thank you both apologizing and thank you for being willing to critique me for something that could've been insensitive.
