Somewhere in the Federation there has to be, like, an alt community that's super into using biomods to make themselves into furries and other exotic stuff, right? I mean they had that shit in Batman Beyond, no way they don't have it in Star Trek.
There's a Scifi book series where human colony ships go off into deep space and aren't heard from for many years and when they're encountered by the core worlds again they've modified themselves to live in a variety of environments, like there are space moth people with giant wings who fly along solar rays and a wide assortment of furries.
Yeah, like in retrospect the relationship with Raul and Aenea is extremely sus and someone told me on here a while back that he taught middle school and alarms started going off in my head, but the Ousters building an organic Dyson sphere with space whales was a great concept.
Yeah I had to put endymion down for exactly that reason. Great worldbuilding, shame the author was a pedo.
The Federation, especially Earth, has a strong taboo against any kind of transhumanism as a result of cultural trauma from the Eugenics Wars. This is most obvious in the ban on augments, but it goes a lot wider than that, including prejudice against Ilyrians (like

), synthetics (like Data), and engineered hybrids (like

).
Apologies for the messy spoiler tags.
But I bet there are A Lot of weird bodymods and enhancements right on the margins of Federation space. It's canon that it's possible to permanently modify a humanoid to visually pass as another humanoid species (e.g.

Arne Darvin
), and at least temporarily to pass moderate medical scans. I would think a Human wanting to become a Caitian could probably not be legally accommodated within the Federation, but it wouldn't be impossible.
