If there were no restrictions other than physics and you could have any body you want. Like four arms, elf ears, snake lower body, double vagina, whatever you want. I’ve been thinking about how I want to change my body a lot lately and it’s got me wondering what people would want if they could really choose. Look like a specific celebrity? Be a real life anime girl? Be an amorphous shifting mass as free-form as thought? Be a giant space station? I just keep wondering what bodes we would choose if we really had the choice.

    Idk, I’m a simple girl, I literally just want SRS and FFS to be covered by my insurance lol.

    Edit: Maybe they could actually shrink me by about three inches and a few shoe sizes. Definitely that.

    Honestly, just a vagina, normal B-C cup breasts, feminized facial features, more feminine vocal chords so I can sing in a feminine range (my speaking passes but def not my singing), no body hair or facial hair, smaller rib cage that tapers more at the bottom for a thinner waist, wider hips, fat redistribution away from waist to my butt, hips, and thighs, shorter clavicles, smaller hands, and like 4" shorter. I wouldn’t change numbers of body parts or add anything extra, I just wanna be like any other “average” woman.

    An internal data storage space that is more reliable than my brain. Need to look up some iso standards for screw sizes? No need, I have the wikipedia page in my head, word for word.

    Before I accepted myself, I used to dream of this sort of post singularity future.

    But now… Being in the human body I was born with caused crippling dysphoria until I was able to do something about it. So now, I wonder, what most of those bodies just end up being uncomfortable and triggering dysphoria again?

    Obviously, there would be some choices that wouldn’t, but I have to wonder, if the further away I got from the “base model”, the more dysphoria might come back to say hi

    If we are talking like. Any conceivable body modification is possible, then I’d like to be able to conceive my own children and undo the effects of testosterone on my vocal chords. Ive grown pretty attached to my body after getting bottom surgery 2 years ago. There’s not a lot else I’d like to change about it. I’m tall and my hands and feet are sorta big. My shoulders are sorta wide. But I dont mind that stuff as much. I think I’m pretty even with those things.

    So I guess I’d mostly have the same body I already do have. But I wouldn’t turn down fancy nanobots that could like. Prevent cancer and stuff. I think that’d be pretty sweet. Getting breast cancer is a very real fear of mine, so the idea of a world where that doesnt exist anymore is pretty significant to me.

    Both sets of genitalia for the purposes of versatility, 6-8 tits like a cat, retractable claws, the ability to see in Infrared and UV, colour changing skin like a cuttlefish, a longer and more agile tongue, and at least 4 tentacles for… Reasons…

      Phallus-preserving vaginoplasty currently exists. If money were no object, I would like to get phallus-preserving vulvaplasty.

      Found Heather Morell’s account.

      ~I realize that on second take, by googling her name, it comes up with a whole big old list of actually living or dead people. I mean the Heather Morell from Katalepsis, which honestly every trans girl should read, full stop, bar none.~

    Give me modular arms and legs. Having someone be able to pop my limbs off as part of a power dynamic would be amazing, and it would be really cool to decide how tall I wanted to be that day.

    A simple fuel/energy exchange system would be nice. Something along the lines of how my car works. Combustible material goes in, is turned into kinetic energy, repeat. So none of this “you consumed too many carbs and didn’t burn enough off so I’m just gonna store that as fat rolls for you” bullshit! If I’m not using the fuel, you keep the fuel there in its raw form until I am using it.

    While we’re at it, if I’ve just put viable fuel in, and I have stuff to do, I expect to feel energetic! The onus should not be on me to precipitate that energy by forcing myself into the activity that feels impossible because of the endless, oppressive lethargy that plagues my every waking minute. No. Fuel in, BING, energy go!

    Yeah I don’t know if this is within the scope of this question but I am SO FED UP with my body being like “naaah, still don’t feel like it” when I am treating it better now than I ever have before in my life.

      YES! YEESSSS!!! I’VE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS SO OFTEN. It has to be sooo nice to just plug yourself into a wall socket for a few hours to recharge your energy so you wouldn’t have to sleep or eat. Or even better, just swap out batteries. Life would be so much easier but we’re stuck in this mortal shell ;-;

    Four arms. Because I can work out enough to get pecs and defined abs, then have the worlds first ten pack

    A prehensile tail because I like climbing and the added balance would be wild

    Graphene scales, because lord knows I’ll probably need some kind of body armour

    Oh and of course a footlong Hor- user was muted

    Directional smell like rats have. It would bring a new era of undeniable fart responsibility. Also high frequency hearing so bats can no longer get away with talking shit about us.

      I have pretty good smell, like I can sometimes follow a person’s scent trail, can tell who are related, smell cooking in neighbors houses, etc.

      I suspect we would decide that farts are socially acceptable. Lots more people sneak farts than you’d think, and you just get used to it. Calling it out is crass and childish. Same with bad breath, general BO, skin, stuff on shoes. But also mold and yeast in places you wouldn’t suspect. We’d instantly ban all scented soaps, dishwasher detergents, and especially dryer sheets, those smell awful.

      I definitely have a higher tolerance for natural smells but much lower tolerance for synthetic smells from the average person.

        Funny you say that, because one thing that always irritates me is perfumes. It bothers me when someone has been through a building within the last hour or two wearing perfume. When I ride my bike, I am frequently struck by the synthetic smells coming off the pedestrians I pass. Busy areas are really offputting because of the mishmash of perfume smells. Yet still I can’t conclusively pin a fart on a culprit.
