Important reminder that the following thoughts are not typical in cisgender cisspecies human men:

- I wish I woke up as a catgirl.
- Human feet are so weird and ugly. Why can't humans have digitigrade paws?
- In my horny thoughts I like to imagine myself as the girl.
- Shaving is fucking annoying but I hate having a beard even more, I'd rather pour acid in my face than have to shave ever again.
- Human ears are so weird and ugly. Why can't humans have cat ears?
- If I found a genie offering me three wishes, my first one would be to get transformed into a catgirl. And then I would be out of ideas.
- Male-typical human genitals are so weird and ugly. Why can't I have female-typical genitals?
- I'm jealous of the female orgasm. Very jealous. Much more fun and much less mess.
- Puberty ruined my voice.
- Why can't humans have soft smooth feline fur? Or at least hairless skin?
- I hate my assigned name. What's the point of legal name changes being so fucking hard in my country?
- I imagine my soul as a catgirl.
- I spend a lot of time imagining scenarios of being transformed into a catgirl.

These might be symptoms of gender dysphoria and/or species dysphoria. You might be entitled to estrogen and surgeries. DM for further advice.

@LunaDragofelis
I imagine paws are not conducive to bipedalism.
Also apparently our ears used to be more cat like, before primates were a thing. We got big heads and cared about sight more, so we specced out of hearing a bit.

Testicles I agree with. I dunno why sperm gotta be so sensitive about our body heat.

> If I found a genie offering me three wishes, my first one would be to get transformed into a catgirl. And then I would be out of ideas.

Interesting, I've never considered asking for that even though I have wanted to morph into a cat since I was at least¹ 10. 🤔

And I'm suddenly realising that I don't remember what one of my three wishes was… (no order: 1/ ability to understand and use² every languages in the world, 2/ ability to heal myself and others³, 3/ ???)
I used to think about them so much, trying to word them as best as possible to avoid downsides and risk of purposeful misunderstanding.

1: very few memories before then.
2: not "speak" because I also want it to include signs languages, for instance.
3: this one could probably be worded in a way that "healing" someone could make them transition and/or change species. 🤔

@LunaDragofelis Only these apply to me:
- "In my horny thoughts I like to imagine myself as the girl."
- "Male-typical human genitals are so weird and ugly. Why can't I have female-typical genitals?"
- "I'm jealous of the female orgasm. Very jealous. Much more fun and much less mess."

I also once dreamt I had turned into a woman. After waking up, I was disappointed it wasn't true.

I don't think I have a chance of getting a prescription for HRT because it's heavily gatekept here. Being autistic and overweight doesn't help.

Would I try HRT if I could do it safely? Likely.
Would I want to magically turn into a cis woman for one day? Definitely.

@0x10f It's really sad that the gatekeeping makes it nearly impossible for you to legally acquire HRT. The endocrinologist in my city told me to lose 20 kilos and then come again before getting HRT, but I could find a different endocrinologist an hour's train ride away who wasn't such a dickhead, and didn't gatekeep.

Do you consider "DIY" HRT to be an option for you? Also it could be a good idea to try to go the official route, even if you think your chances are low. They're hopefully not zero, it's worth trying.

@LunaDragofelis
I'm sorry you had to go through that, but I'm glad you managed to find a doctor.

I might try the official route to HRT (once I've got some unrelated health issues sorted out).

@0x10f also, do you want to be called with she/her pronouns? Your profile says he/they but it seems like your true feelings are more feminine than that.
@LunaDragofelis Good question. I'll try they/them for a while.
@LunaDragofelis mhm i think humans look okay and can be nice and be cute sometimes, just not sure if thats me.. i want cat ears and human ears ..
@LunaDragofelis mm honestly i want kinda contradictory traits xS like i like the idea of being made of crystals but i also still want to be somewhat "squishy" rather than hard and rigid,
@Li (cisspecies) meltcats can change on a range from "hard like wood" to "slimey goop". They use the hard tissue for their skeletons, while the goop is used to reshape, and probably some internal organs are naturally goopy in meltcats.
@LunaDragofelis nahhhhhh.... it'll buff :3
@spycrab What does buff mean in this context?

@LunaDragofelis oh, right that probably almost an inside joke and I forgort.

It's like saying "it is what it is"

Like, imagine you slab a truck into a telephone pole and there is a lot of damage (damage that obviously cannot be buffed out) you might say "nah, it'll buff" and just keep going

I guess the exact meaning changes a bit based on context but basically it's a humorous way of saying you are right and I see that but I'm ignoring the problem for the time being

@spycrab If you had a magic wand that could transform your body into anything you want: what form(s) would you like to take?

@LunaDragofelis hummmm, idk
Ignoring the more practical considerations (like knowing how to work the body, and friends, and the life I have established for myself)
Maybe a girl, maybe a cat, cat person, dragon, crab, oh protogens are cool af. Idk
I guess if the wand has unlimited uses I'd just change my form to fit the situation.

Bit of some mh stuff past this point. Gets pretty negative, just fyi. (Oh and the you is a general you not like you the reader)

I used to think gay people and/or trans people where illogical, I'd never hold it against them that not my way. But why have sex of it can't make kids. Why pretend to be a gender your not.

Now, I'm definitely not straight, and probably not cis and I see where that logic fails.

I still feel the same way about theirans. Again would never hold it against anyone, if you want to be called a cat or dragon what's it to me, lol (none of my business).

But still, why pretend to be something you aren't: you can't actually be a dragon, they don't exist. You can't actually be a cat boy, your DNA says otherwise.

Same thoughts I had about gay people before I admitted I liked men.
Same thoughts I had about trans people before I admitted I was a bit of a girl.

Means I'm probably missing part of the point here.

@spycrab Assuming that human society stopped being shitty (fascism, queerphobia…) and started funding the necessary science for full body modifications and species transitions (prosthetic body parts with direct neural connection, full genetic engineering), it's not even unrealistic anymore. Optimistically, this could happen 15-20 years from now.

Considering this, what shape would you modify your body into, if this tech hypothetically became available (and free or affordable) tomorrow? Maybe even a meltcat? (meltcat "lore" here: https://void.lgbt/notice/B4O4FXHdiGfW1hLgrQ )

@LunaDragofelis cyberpunk sans the capitalism would be peak af.

Hummm; id probably mostly add stuff to help me in my day to day life. I really like the idea of expanding my senses (more eyes in the IR and UV ranges. Maybe a small gamma ray telescope, that sort of stuff.) id probably experiment with my genitals and maybe some cute feature near my face (cat ears, whiskers) but at the end of the day I'd probably either end up looking like a tech priest from Warhammer or mostly like my current self (with some more feminine features)

@LunaDragofelis IDK if it relevant or fits here, but I've never shaved. Can't stand the thought. Trim, yes, but the idea of a razor...

Nope. 59 years old, never once shaved. My mom bought me an electric when I was young. Just used the trimmer part.

@LunaDragofelis "If I found a genie offering me three wishes, my first one would be to get transformed into a catgirl. And then I would be out of ideas." oh I think you might try to use one wish to protect the second wish and preserve it for later, then use the third for catgirl TF
@mxchara Actually, in the meantime, I recently could actually come up with a second wish: That I never lose Yuki, he's my beloved house cat. I don't want him to die or run away, or otherwise me getting forcibly separated from him.

Third wish I'd probably use for my political views, I'd wish for successful, stable, worldwide anarcho-communism to be in place.
