No literally because even my most supportive of cis coworkers and family friends say stuff like "Well just be careful" and "Don't overdo it" like its a fucking opioid 😭
Trans people: Hormones have made me finally start enjoying life and for the first time I genuinely feel comfortable in my body.
Cis people: But aren't you worried that it might be irreversible?
Worlds of the Hegemon: THE JEBEDE
Generation ships are an uncommon sight across the Hegemon, relics of the first exoduses that saw the Cradleworlds, now the ExeCor, seed Known Space with billions and billions of such vessels. These coldburn ships, incapable of Outside travel, have continued on their aeons-long courses, often becoming waystations in between the stars and hotbeds of antiquity trading as they push outward toward the Fringes, away from the worlds that they departed tens of thousands of years ago.
There are currently three major vessels making their way through Bhosnayan space, the Lepena, Balanita, and Jebede. The Lepena and Balanita both host primitive, if resilient, self-reliant societies, their now-forgotten histories predating the Hegemon itself.
Owing to the near-permanent state of war between Directorate forces, local rivals, mercenary companies, corpo-backed military interests, and the Mehndaxan pirate kingdom, the Lepena and Balanita, as well as the handful of smaller generation ships still pushing through the Bhos cluster, often pay multi-generation tithes of goods and services to various nations in exchange for protection, ensuring overlapping periods of protection from different parties as they continue on their voyages.
Of course, there can be no discussion of the generation ships of Bhosnaya without touching on the Jebede. Largest of the ancient coldships, the Jebede moves quickly along an erratic orbit through the Bhos Cluster, like a colossal, hundred kilometer-long bullet. Clearly built by Solarian architects in a bygone era, the ship now sits at the center of an Armada interdiction cordon, placed by order of the Audit. Despite the Armada’s best efforts, the vessel often slips its escort, seemingly disappearing entirely at times, and has, for good reason, become something of a ghost story amongst both Heg and Bhos.
While illegal, many treasure seekers attempt landings, boldly delving deep into twisting corridors and ancient service tunnels in search of a rumored “paradise” within. None have ever found an entrance, or ever returned if they did. Even venturing close is not without risk, as a particularly vicious colony of Rurō vermin have infested the hyperstructure.
Regardless, the Armada escort has orders to shoot on sight anyone and anything that attempts a landing. Further rumors persist of an even worse horror within known only to the Audit, waiting in the gloom, something ancient that never must be woken.

"Biological sex is a social construct and HRT changes my biological sex. HRT is part of my transsexual journey of medically transitioning from biological male to biological female, which are social constructs. There are no contradictions here and everyone who disagrees is wrong."
