Topic: If you could be reborn as anything other than human...

I fucking hate this question. I would tell you straight-up I would still select human because I would want to live a life for once as the sex I could never fully align my gender with. Sure, we've come close to doing just that, but we're not completely there yet. I still have XY chromosomes to my knowledge, I can't get pregnant, and my time of the month is limited to things that doesn't include bleeding from a period.
So, you ask me this question, and I will always say cisgender female human every fucking time. Plus I'm not a furry so I don't have any desire to be reborn as an animal.
Don't ask me stupid questions if you don't want pushback answers.

We're no closer. At best, surgeries can help give you the appearance of the opposite sex. (Genital surgeries have improved considerably but you're still left with something non-functional that will immediately "give you away" even when done well.) We're no closer to actually "changing" someone's sex, because that isn't possible. We would need technology that resembles magic, as it would need to rewrite every somatic cell in your body and somehow transform basically your entire body in countless ways.

Interesting how you didn't say that pregnancy wasn't impossible. Considering how this has been a subject of research for the past few decades now. > and somehow transform basically your entire body in countless ways
Isn't that the idea though? > Genital surgeries have improved considerably but you're still left with something non-functional that will immediately "give you away" even when done well.
I'm curious if you speak from personal experience or not, Anon, please continue.

Maybe uterus transplantation will be possible one day, but it won't be soon. There are enormous hurdles to overcome (pelvic structure and vascularization alone) but I suspect it's not an outright impossibility. One might begin to wonder if the energy isn't better spent helping the gender dysphoric in coming to terms with their natal sex, at that point. > I'm curious if you speak from personal experience or not, Anon, please continue.
I don't. Have you seen the "success stories" these poor people share? I have. Pic related. Like I said, these surgeries have advanced considerably, but still...
