In The Culture series by Iain Banks, gene modification is so advanced people can will themselves to change sex without surgery over I think some months. The process is so effective procreation is possible - one character, a male, loved being pregnant. So he'd transition, have a baby, and go back to being male every couple years. And it's just super normal. In fact, people who never change sexes are viewed as odd.
Oh 100%. I don't have dysphoria but think of myself as NB anyway. I'm comfortable in my body but I'm certainly curious. If transitioning weren't as difficult and costly? Yeah totally let's see what girl me looks like. I think I'd be fairly hot as a girl haha
If we are being pedantic, Trills are a bad analogy for transsexuals. Every new Trill host is a brand new person with only the memories (with some extras) of the previous hosts. This distinction is emphasized in several episodes. So while Klingons are rather hyper-traditionalists, they can't really complain about a person having another person's memories.
"Though I may change, my heart does not, for I am but its reflection, and may that reflection be more true with every passing day".
No clue where my brains pulling that one from, but it felt fitting. It feels like such a simple thing, the want to be accepted for who you really are, yet it brings a complex hurt when you realize how hard that can be to get.
Maybe it is something regarding the Bible? A Google search doesn’t bring an exact result for that quote but a bunch of different Bible verses are in the results however.
