I understood what you were conveying, though it doesn't quite "land" as impactfully in English as it probably does in your native language. But it does work, and by the upvotes it looks like quite a few people understood what you meant.
Also, thank you for teaching me about the CIS area. I had to look that up, but as a geography nerd I'm surprised I haven't heard that phrase before. I've mostly heard people state their specific country, or older folks saying, "I'm from the USSR."
Once in HS my biology teacher was talking about IVF, and at some point in his lecture he hypothetically asked "what do you do with all those eggs?" And I answered "make an omelette."
He was not pleased. The class liked it though
Maybe it's a forbidden thought but I unironically would like to try such an omelette tbh
We had a substitute biology teacher once who was gonna teach about pregnancy while being heavily pregnant. That was a fun lesson. So jealous though... I wish I had the ability to be pregnant.
If you want a dick, you can have it. It's never had any problems (other than the dysphoria and a testicular torsion that may or may not have finally kickstarted my deeper desire to transition, lmao)
An odd thought I had, if it was possible to transfer human brains from one body to another without any high risks, do you think trans people of opposite gender would still undergo typical surgery or trade bodies?
Depends on how safe it is and how long the recovery. And whether nerve endings will attach correctly. Imagine permanently having paralysis or a mild feeling of the funny bone being touched, or brainfreeze from too cold ice cream, except it's everywhere in your body down from the neck? Yeah, no.
Given the immune issues, and the issues with trying to keep the brain well-oxygenated and free from diseases, I think the safer option would be surgery. It feels kinda odd to have your body no longer be your body, even if you'd then straight up have the right body. I think I could accept it, though, but still.
But if the body trade were possible without any immune issues and all that shit, then I'd def do that!
My greatest dream, greater even than being together with a partner, greater than surviving without large complications, is experiencing pregnancy and having a live baby out of it. I really want to know what it's like first-hand, to experience the journey, feeling the baby kick. Hell, even the morning sickness, all the aches and labour pains, I'd take.
There's actually a protocol for transfems to become pregnant, but you'd most likely only be able to carry to 33 weeks, assuming your hips aren't widened from taking E early. Or you'd have to get C-section. That is my case either way.
33 weeks is fine, I can live with that. I then do get to experience the third trimester as well. But I think I want to keep the baby safe, therefore as far to the end as possible it is. The baby then probably couldn't go "down", but other than that it'd be fine. And tbh, I'd be fine with hip surgery too if it meant the baby could descend downward.
I don't mind C-section either, lots of pregnant people do that already anyways.
There's also a transfem gal who actually did an experiment with taking pregnancy hormones, for 10 months (yes, including post-pregnancy hormones). It was rough but omg, it read to be so affirming. She permanently went from a C to a G-cup(!), was able to help a friend out with breastfeeding, and had widened hips.
You'd find both. I'd probably have traded bodies, but I know plenty of folks who wouldn't. We'd also probably have two factions within the body swappers: 1) we try to never see each other again, and 2) we're siblings now, and full members of each other's family.
There would also be hella drama about all of it because for example a guy wanting my body would've gotten an extremely masculine body, everything I've seen a lot of trans guys wish for, but it would come with a disability that may be difficult to handle.
Either is fine. Source: programmer who took a bunch of math earlier in life. ^ has a higher precedence than multiplication. To get this to be different, you would need (ce)^x.
Basically Alphas can impregnate regardless of their anatomy (but not other alphas), omegas can get impregnated regardless of their anatomy, and betas are just normal people. That's sort of the main gist, but it's not necessarily about impregnation always. Typically there's stuff like heat and rut cycles, knotting, pheromones, marking mates, and some others involved. That's the one paragraph intro.

Solid Snake got all of Big Boss's dominant genes while Liquid Snake got all of the weak, submissive genes.
In case Metal Gear Solid didn't already have enough homoerotic subtext.

Perhaps fittingly, I thought they were clarifying that the population of their area was predominantly cisgendered.

I'd trade you my uterus, I don't use it. Though I'm not sure what I'd want in return. Maybe a spare kidney, for a rainy day?

To be fair, assuming I'd switch bodies with someone else who I'd chill with, I would all be fine with it.
I'd give them tips on my old body's particularities, how to maintain it best and so on.

In math once we were working on this C(e)^x and when my teacher asked what was on the board, one guy said sex. It was funny.
No idea what I was learning... Something with derivatives I think... But I know that C*E to the x power looks like sex
