    Honestly I'm just really looking forward to the day when I can just get a single $130 needle full of some sort of "deactivate that one gene to induce gonad cell transdifferentiation" virus, and thereby have a permanent endogenous source of estrogen. If it's been done in mice once then it damned well better be possible in humans, I tell you hwat!

        I prophesize that within 20 years, we will start to see anime catgirl memes saying "gene editing is valid!!! bioprinting is valid!!!", while truscum foam at the mouth ranting about how "crispycutes" ("CRISPR tucutes") don't have the Real Trans Experience because transitioning has become Too Damn Quick and Accessible.
