@hecubian_devil I'm strangely enchanted by his weird gremlin FDR with the floating cigarette who goes around the world teasing people from his flying wheelchair
@rlycrossedup You'll never look like an anime girl, because no one looks like an anime girl. You'll look like your mom or your sister or your cousin cuz that's how genes work. Would you rather be an average looking woman or stay a man?
@Moesygodbeer@whooith And that physical dysphoria is neurologically the same as phantom limb
He did a study and found that trans men who wanted bottom surgery were more likely to have "phantom penises" than cis men who'd lost theirs
It's fascinating (cw very medical language)

@Moesygodbeer@whooith VS Ramachandran is afaik basically the world expert on phantom limbs, and his theory is that there is a "map" in the brain that corresponds to the nerves. After limb loss, the map doesn't update, so it mismatches the body
He theorizes trans people also have mismatched body maps!
