  • Many also experience dysphoria specifically about their genitals, so it’s likely about more than just social gender constructs (probably also depends on the individual though), with at least some contributing factors already decided at birth.

    I mean, ultimately everything that goes on in your mind has a neurological component of some sort. I suspect with this, for example, the brain is structured to run body template A, but is piloting body template B and is basically throwing an error. I see no reason not to change the body to match the brain, especially since modifying the brain quickly heads into major ethical concerns and philosophical weirdness. I mean, ultimately the brain is you and the body is just a meat mech.

    Violet starts a romantic relationship with, and is implied to eventually marry, Gilbert, her former commanding officer in the military who was also her father figure, Violet having been a war orphan that Gilbert took in when she was 10. Violet was a child soldier from the ages of 10 to 14, at which time the war ended. Gilbert had faked his death at the end of the war because he had developed romantic feelings for Violet. Gilbert is 11 years older than her. By the time of the movie, Violet is 18 and Gilbert is 29, but he was in love with her when he was 25 and she was 14, and probably before that. This is portrayed as a romantic and happy ending.

    It also goes against the show’s themes and messages about grief and moving on, but the above thing tends to overshadow that.

    Anything you make them do also has to be something they might plausibly do on their own, or it just hits them with a heart attack. You also can’t make them kill someone else, though I think you might be able to fudge that by writing that person A will be shot by person B, and then that person B will shoot person A. I could be misremembering, but I think that trick was used at one point.
