Apparently [1], it's not completely out of the question, but more research is needed before it can be safely attempted on a trans woman. However, I fear the largest hurdle will be a political one, with so many nutjobs [2] so hell-bent on imposing their dogmatic definition of gender on everyone.

  What historical "truth" are you defending? Flat earth? Racism? You're being a bit vague. If you couldn't tell, that was a jab at your appeal to tradition.

    I always find it fascinating where people draw off the line at natural given modern life is closer to "life in plastic" than anything resembling nature. We stole fire from the gods, domesticated ourselves via agriculture, reshaped the world in our image, and have literally slain two of the four horsemen.

      Thank you, you worded an idea I carried in my head for a while. Our world can hardly be considered "natural" anymore.

  You mean grotesque things like artificial insulin for making type 1 diabetes not a death sentence? Don’t confuse your own personal bigotry and small mindedness with what should be considered “grotesque”.

    Artificial insulin is akin to medicine, potions, etc, I don't think anybody would consider this grotesque at any point in time

      Jehovah's Witnesses? Transition is also a medical treatment, it is used to treat gender dysphoria, as the only remedy we know to be effective. If you feel like documenting yourself out of your ignorance (I doubt you will but who knows), here are some pointers. You can check each claim I make against the numerous studies and metastudies on the subject. * Gender dysphoria is real and touches a non-trivial part of the population. * Gender dysphoria poses significant hazard to mental health and can lead to suicide. * Gender dysphoria almost never goes away, and when it does, it's mostly from external pressures on the individual (religious, political). In which cases, the individual keeps most symptoms (depression...). * Transition effectively cures gender dysphoria. * Very few people regret transitioning (<1%).
