SQWISHIE! *huggles* how is da sqwishie?

sqwishie should eat. maybe some mackerel or whatever it is you cephalapods eat. Jelellies just kinda float around and eat plankton and whatever gets in out telentacles

how about french fried potatoes and powdered donuts? o.o

I used to be thin as a rail in high school. i could suck in my tummy and touch my fingers around my waist. now i'm lucky yo see past my gut. ;_;

I know what you've been through! 
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah... *sigh* which is why I think we should convince (see: brainwash/hold a gun to their head) many rich people to contribute to genetic research
π: 0 β©: 1
Feh. While we're at it, I'd like to see some progress in the area of magic and miracles! I'd settle for metamorphic nanotechnology, but once you start thinking about what you really want... why lower the bar?
π: 0 β©: 1
hm good point. but with genetic research, you can have your entire genome reworked and then reimplanted. And after about 7 or so years, when your entire body has replaced all of its old cells, voila! no more wrong gender! sorta...some surgeries would still have to be done

Oh, don't think I haven't thought of it! I scratched out a lot of ideas about what they could do or how they would go about it in the form of stories (a good way to hide deviant thinking from friends and family), and am pretty confident that it could be done. It'd be hella expensive, and it'd take a lot of research in areas no one but a motivated T would dare touch, and might not require any surgery -- though some might prefer to remove certain parts surgically, either to save time or simplify the process. I have often wondered if there was even a need for inserting modified DNA; in normal female development one X chromosome is turned off right at the beginning; if there was a way to turn off the Y chromosome, I'm sure the body would do it's best to turn female. Since there are certain critters that can actually do this little trick, it would only be a matter of studying the process and looking for ways to stimulate the same process using the Legacy Genome (all the "junk" DNA we carry around). Honestly, if I'd had the right backing, I'd have chosen a medical science research path straight out of high school in order to help "make" it happen. Instead, I graduated with a nervous breakdown and choose the "easy" path of an art degree and then went stylishly insane. Yay me!

I've taken a huge interest in most sciences. Evolution, genetics, psychology, and almost every -ology out there... I've spent a lot of time looking into them to see if things like this were even possible, and with the right research, it very well could be!
Now on the subject of genetics, the X-chromosome is what determines what a human should look like. the governor of genes so to speak (explains man nipples). All the Y does is sit there and go "durrr, i makes you a male". that's all it does. Kinda useless huh? lol (makes me very curious to whether our ancestors had a third gender, or was even asexual. Hell, we could've been all one gender and bred asexually!)
The only real problem with doing a "genetic switcheroo" on an adult would be the equipment their body already has. Hell, even from infancy, it would require some surgery to correct for that natural fuck up. You really have to catch it way early in the pregnancy itself before that damn Y turns on. (hell, if women had a means of asexually producing [or externally combining genes], we wouldn't need men anymore. then ZZ Top's song "Planet of Women" would come true XD)
I have the brains and creativity to come up with the ideas, but no funding to follow through with it. Just have to remain cautiously optimistic that this world will follow the Gene Roddenberry example and finally say "hey you know what? hate sucks! let's all be friends! group hug!"
and lastly "stylishly insane". LOL. I have to use that someday

You have my permission to go stylishly insane whenever you please!
I suppose I was thinking that a person willing to give a transformation some time might avoid surgery, assuming that the body could reabsorb old structures if the DNA was rewritten, or redirected, to change from male to female. I've seen enough cases where the body did reabsorb something that was out of place. Of course, there are other examples of stuff that doesn't, like teeth that grow out of someone's feet. That was a weird one!
I'm probably just too optimistic about what the body could do if we had a clue how to do it. If willpower and determination was enough, I'd have turned female in my teens. I know I hid it from the rest of the world, but it was pretty much all I thought about... kind of still is the one thing that is always on my mind. Not always helpful, but so hard not to.
Dunno what holiday/new years stuff you celebrate, but I hope it's a good one!

If I could turn at any time I want, I would've done it years ago, be damned the consequences... of course that's the feeling of most trans people isn't it?
*siiiigh*
I celebrate Xmas, but it's more the Yule aspect of it (celebrating life, presents, spiked eggnog, you know the non-religious stuff)

Soooooo true!
Spiked eggnog! Yum!

So far the new decade is proving to be just as boring as the last one. And it's only a week old!
no, I'm not cynical... why do you ask?

How's this for a slow reply?
Seriously, my life took a bad turn and I've moved back to California. I'm staying with family while looking for a job. I'm the one who should be turning cynical! I can pretty much kiss any plans to transition goodbye. Back to playing the good, straight, normal guy to convince someone to hire me. The only bright spot is that it's a chance, however slim, of finding a creative job.
But hey, no need for me to rain on your parade. I hope things are good on your end.

Slow reply indeed!
let's see, since last we talked it was the beginning og the year. Things were still pretty bleak, but they've at least changed to "promising".
Promising to not piss me off at least so far. I have a summer job, working for the city's baseball stadium again. I like it, though it doesn't near enough, but that's about the only thing I can get right now. Businesses love to hire in poor students instead of the just plain poor, and that just adds to the vicious cycle I've had since high school.
Can't get a job -> need experience/schooling -> can't get experience/schooling because I don't have money -> no money because I can't get a job -> wash, rinse, repeat.
I've learned to accept it, but it doesn't mean I have to like it. On the other end of that spectrum, businesses that could be worth working for have horrid double standards about appearances. a (real) girl can have long hair, but a man can't. we're talking food industry here mostly, like bulk food stores, grocers, caterers... um... since I'd be required to wear a hairnet ANYWAY, what's the damn difference? you know?
*shrug* I'm at that right (or wrong, however you look at it) stage of life where I have enough skills to be more valuable than a burger flipping fry jockey, but not enough to get a job of any worth.
(I've thought about prostitution but it's only legal in Las Vegas, and who knows what kind of diseases fester around there. plus i wasn't impressed with the city in general. "Oh. Vegas. neat. wonder what's so special about it..." )
Guess I'll just have to sell my body to science or die before I'm 40. I'm fine either way.
(kinda sad ain't it?)

I am quite familiar with that vicious circle!
I went completely buggo my first year in college after high school. Something to do with the fact that I was trans and finally in a place where I didn't have anyone to play the "boy" role for constantly. I was free to be me, but still not properly equipped for it.
After dropping out I went the round of retail and customer service or temp jobs while trying to develop my art and writing skills. Things were pretty unstable though, so I could never really focus on the creative stuff. I managed to squeak my way into some IT jobs, learning on the job, but not getting certificates proving it. I finally tried to deal with my trans problems in 1998 but without money and a decent work environment that worked about as well as doing cartwheels on the edge of a cliff.
It took about five years to get over being suicidal and get back into school, and I'm now 3 classes away from my BS and I can't get a job because of the frickin' recession.
Yep, it's pretty darn pathetic.

Sarcasm and cynicism aren't the last resorts of a weak argument. They're just easiest!
When I was a kid, and people asked me "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
I said the usual heroic job stuff (cop, firefighter, EMT), and even the "dreamer" jobs (astronaut, scientist), but never did I once say "I wanna be a cynic!"
And far too often people call cynicism "pessimism". hell if it weren't for cynicism, I wouldn't have as much of a good nature as I do!
