All bodies are different and some bodies are more advantaged naturally, should that also be monitored? Transitioning is just another type of body modification. A lot of people got to great lenghts to modify their bodies, cosmetic surgery, piercings, scarification, tattoos, even diets can be considered body modification in a way, and all of these things can me mild, to more dangerous in order to achieve a certain goal.Why is the sex then such a taboo? Such an issue? Who do people feel bothered about a penis becoming a vagina, and not about a Prince Albert piercing or labiaplasty?Intersex people become guinea pigs in a world refusing to accept that the binary is a construct and is not biological.Exactly as I suspected, people are comfortable with gender non conformity as performance but not as part of a daily life phenomenon.
