  • Okay so this article, and the one it links back to, make much of the “rejected by veterinarians” line, but it’s incredibly unclear as to why. Carbon dioxide would be an awful way to go, but I don’t understand why, of someone is going to be killed (and not just killed but having their pattern erased when it could be preserved, known time of death in a controlled facility is a best case for cryo), nitrogen hypoxia is considered bad instead of a best option. Can someone explain this? As I understand it your get giddy and happy, then pass out, then die. Why is that unethical, if you’ve already decided the killing is ethical?











  • Pelvic tilt is a pretty obvious one, part of why women have shapelier asses and also reduces height a little bit. Emotions definitely feel more accessible, although I have heard that trans guys also get some of that sometimes so that might have more to do with dissociating less, but I also get some urge to cry at stuff like… Last night I was watching a movie with my girlfriend and characters were talking about people they’d lost, and it was an effort not to cry.

    You can ask me literally anything you actually want to know about without losing points with me. Just be sure you want to know. There’s a pretty good chance I’ll answer and if you didn’t want to know you might have regrets.


  • Oh goddess does the temperature tolerance change. Turns out the fat distribution matters a lot for that!
    Also yeah there’s a line in the first altered carbon book about how for men, skin is armor, and for women, a sensory organ, and it’s a little exaggerated, but it’s pointing at a real thing.

    Re personality: that’s harder to judge, because you have so much going on. It’s a major change in your life, you’re altering how you and the world interact with each other, so it would be hard to avoid your personality going through a rock to mud transition and shifting, but I think there’s definitely some shift towards social responsibility, yeah. Obviously there isn’t an exact measurement, but I think it’s pretty common.
