Not saying this won’t be incredibly lucrative once the tax dollars start rolling in but punishment can only make so much money. Give someone a thousand years exciting experience in 8 hours and people will gladly sell their remaining 16 for it.

What absolutely gobsmacking value must an unaltered human being possess that tremendous amounts of resources are allocated all over the world to stop people from changing who or what they are?
It’s your body you should be able to choose what to do with it. If in 30 or 40 years we come to find out that it causes irreparable damage and shortened lifespan. It’s earned. If that time until an untimely death is the best life lived then that was well earned too. I’m willing to bet it will be worth it to someone who so desires it. But it should be every individuals choice to do so, and do so freely.
This problem will only continue to compound as medical technology advances. People changing gender identity or their sex is only the tip of the iceberg, given the chance someone out there will try change something about themselves that asks the question of whether or not they are still human. Maybe not in my lifetime but someone born today might have to face such a problem. Based on the lessons we will hand down, well you can plainly see about how that is likely to go down.
We already know who cares so much that people conform to gender norms, are deprived access to reproductive healthcare and autonomy, and also forced to do so in abject poverty. The burning question is why? What ends justify these means?
Seriously, someone make it make sense. What math do I need to learn to be able to understand why you are not able to do as you please with your own life and body? How does anyone else still have a say what is or isn’t in your pants and how is it to their benefit?
It’s an irony then for how much value is placed on genitalia that the rest of the person is only worth at most whatever minimum wage is the standard in your area or occupation.
Lot of words just to say that once the advertisers move in on a centralized platform its value is shot. A huge part of the reason I abandoned the last platform I was using and sought a federated alternative.
