      I find it interesting to note who is talking about 'ideal' humans and what appearance people 'should' have. The relevant term is 'would' have... Moreover, I don't recall saying TW 'shouldn't' transition, merely that underlying biology remains unchanged.

      "Would" have when? There are millions of different things you can make using one set of DNA, many of them not meaningfully human (look at the HeLa cells and other tumorous growths)

      Come on, you know how the word "would" works I look different than the person my DNA "would" have encoded? "Would" under what circumstances? "Natural" circumstances? "Normal" circumstances? "Ideal" circumstances? You can't say it without invoking a value judgment

      Of course you can use the word without a value judgement. "The patient 'would' have been born with two arms, but a developmental disorder in utero caused a malformation and they only have one" That you can't use words properly says something about you, not me.

      Counterfactuals are, in fact, one of the most annoying things that don't actually make coherent internal sense that people invoke

      Replying to @arthur_affect @unwitod and

      Your statement has an invisible value judgment right in it "If this person didn't have this one defective gene, they'd have two arms" Actually no if I took that gene out completely, the whole DNA sequence would fail to resolve and no embryo would grow at all

      Oh, but you didn't mean take the gene out completely did you When you said "If they didn't have that defective gene", you meant "If that gene were *replaced*" Replaced with what? With the... "normal" version of that gene

      Oh oops There it is, there's the word "normal" It was right there, invisible, and you didn't notice you were implicitly using it You thought you weren't because you were saying "without a disability" as though "disabilities" are things you add or subtract from a "normal" state

      Everything people say is like this "I'm sure you'd be much easier to get along with if not for your childhood" If not for my childhood? But logically if you wished my childhood away I would simply not exist today

      "Don't be an asshole, I mean if you'd been born but the stuff in your childhood hadn't happened to you" Wait, so if I was born and then instantly aged to 18? That's fucked up

      "No I mean you had a childhood where none of those things happened" What, and I was suspended in a featureless white void for 18 years? That's more fucked up "No, I mean if you had a... normal childhood" Ah, there we go, you said it
