Let's do a third round. Same thing, but for Down syndrome. Hypothetical treatment detects presence or absence of trisomy-21 and either removes it or generates it in autosomes. No chance of side effects; no risks.

This one's weird.. I think for some ppl it's partially a socialization thing, so there'd still be trans people unless you actually cut down on possible, like, personalities? And I think that's besides gender differences meaning that cutting out transness shrinks human mindspace
