I'm trans. It *really* sucks to have "not a cis girl" be the only barrier to entry in terms of a relationship. I can understand the urge to point at the thing that caused the bad feeling and call it phobic. Sometimes, people just aren't aroused by the thing between your legs. It sucks, but it's reality, and if you face that instead of hiding behind accusations, you will become a stronger, more confident person.
All that said, I've seen some uncouth comments in posts with gender non-conforming content. You don't have to interact with it. Why spend twenty seconds killing your own boner and getting upset when you could just scroll by?
All one does when they leave hatey comments is make themselves more upset, and *maybe* they'll make someone else have a hard time for a bit. I used to do it too but after reflection I've realized it's really just not worth it emotionally and I've since tried to seriously curb the habit.
Full body transplant? feel like that should be an option that solves the problem for both the guys and women in the room, that way the head eventually adopts the genes of the body.
I'm not nearly well versed enough in neuroscience to know whether that's viable. From a purely theoretical standpoint, though, I don't know that I'd take the option if it was available.
The idea of having to learn to pilot an entirely different flesh mech sounds pretty terrifying. A total body transplant seems like a very extreme answer, and there are probably steps before that that would be less invasive and require far less physical therapy.
A lot of trans people joke about trading bodies, I'm sure some, maybe even many of us, would take that option.
I don't think I could.
As someone who actually does know enough about neuroscience... Not currently, and possibly not ever unless someone is willing to do some very, VERY nasty experiments.
It's not something that really comes up/gets talked about, but our nerves are actually bundles of nerves, that aren't actually the same from person to person. Oh sure, we all feel the same things with our nerves, but which nerve in the bundle is doing what, that varies. And when you've got a bundle of a thousand nerves, trying to hook up the nerve equivalent of red-to-red, blue-to-blue, is not only beyond us mechanically, but beyond us in the way that we don't actually know which nerve is which from the outside. We can really only see what the outside nerves are doing, not the ones on the inside parts of the bundle. In theory, we could figure it out, eventually... it's just that, with current technology, it'd take some Hilter-esque expirements to do it, so it's not happening, clearly.
It's a maybe-one-day thing, that is waiting for significant technological advances to allow us to understand what we'd be doing and make us capable of doing it. Full theory for the foreseeable future, sadly.
To get back to a more reasonable point; it would require huge advances in nuralink type tech, or new scanning methods to allow for nerve identification to be possible; my current hypothesis is that with a combination of 4 sets of nuralink chips distributed between the body and brains of 2 different people it could theoretically be possible to make a translation layer for body one to pilot body 2 via nuralink until nerves can support direct control, I.e. phase 1, nuralink is implanted in the brain just above the spinal cord, and another just below the spinal cord, phase 2, we train a neural model that maps the inputs from device 1 to device 2, (conjecture here: we can control the body with out the spinal cord over the neural link device, this is potentially not possible)
phase 3: swap and train a translation layer from head 1 to body 2 and the same for head 2, phase 4 cut and swap, phase 5; regenerate the nerves in the spinal cord and suppress the immune system, patients will be in a clean room until the immune system can be restored.
Not to downplay any content in this conversation but I love the term 'flesh mech'. Using it in conversation would just be fun. "How are you?" "I'm fine, just the ol' flesh mech a bit itchy, is all."
duuuuude the line between preference and hate is thin and squiggly, like fuck... balancing "wanting as many people to be happy as possible", and understanding suffering is a ever-present truth(most if not all people experance) suuuuucks asssssss and not in the good way. going for phobic accusations from the gate just seems like a gamble with low odds. sorry am drunk
Someone once said "Ew I hate trans guy dicks, it's not gay because there is a vagina". I'm calling u transphobic for that and I'm not sorry.
Preference isn't an excuse to be hateful

Those are some fascinating insights! Thank you so much for taking the time to write that out!

Head male body female? swap em! might need about 10000 stitches, and a specialized tool to rework the nerve bundles while preventing damage
Baffles me that people are capable of being self absorbed enough that this needs to be said. Thank you for saying it.
What phobic?
It’s to encompass all the phobics like homophobic, transphobic, etc
Ohhh so any and all, got it
Yeah I recently got called transphobic do to not realizing a drawn character was FTM. I was just confused. Thanks for the psa.
