I see many people downvoting with no engagement. Is this because you do disagree that transition is as important and meaningful as rapid evolution? Is it because you see it as a personal thing and not science? Because social, emotions and medical are all science, or does some of you not like the idea of calling transitioning as such a monumental thing? There’s many things in curious about. I thought making awareness and rights for trans individuals was for their safety to become who they wanted to be. Making awareness of how important it is not only for safety but happiness and that persons future?
Also if it’s because of the DNA Alteration. Yeah that ties into being trans. It allows for way better results and it would fundamentally change your gender. Not just by current day methods but by scans, genetic testing and more. You would be biologically male or female. No long period of shots or else wise.
Were not engaging with this because it's such a painful topic that this post feels like mockery. I do believe you are serious, but you have to under this hypothetical process of DNA editing is something that may trans people wish was possible, but it's simply not.
Medical transition is based on science of both physiology and endocrinology. What you're describing, rapid evolution is not backed up by any sort of research, data or science. DNA is an immutable constant unlike sex and gender.
You do you, and I'm not going to argue with you about how you live your life and perceive yourself. I wish you nothing but the best to answer your question, DNA editing is not part of the trans experience.
To further this which I ask if you have any suggestions please let me know. I’ll create a capsule that someone can lay in that will alter their dna, hormones and all to match the gender they want while on top of it. If they wish they can either let their body adapt to the other gender simply or also set preferences and their body will develop in the way that matches their preferences. Such as body type, muscle and bone definition, private parts, hair, weight, eye colour, hair colour, and more. They’d wake up a week to a month later and be a completely different person. Only they can make changes at the beginning and no one else can alter their preferences. My hospitals will work as a sovereign nation or embassy.
Eventually DNA editing will be public. Actually in my upcoming hospitals. I’ll have a machine where someone can go to sleep for a week or longer depending on how longer their body needs to adapt. Where it will transition someone rapidly within a week to a month at longest. Trust me I fully understand currently dna editing is not possible to the public or even really explored because of how futuristic it is.
Also I am sorry it came off as mockery though my intentions was to find out how others saw the importance of such a topic because a mod in another group made it seem lesser and it shocked me because in my experience I see transitioning as something equally meaningful and important as rapid evolution. Which actually does happen in Lizards and else wise. Though is very difficult for humans with out bioengineering which I’ve done to myself.
