I am one of those who hopes that transgender people, including those who are gender nonbinary, gender-nonconforming, intersex, etc, can undergo rigorous gene modification and stem cell transplants to completely resculpt their bodies… both their ins and outs, to obtain genuine reproductive abilities and feel more confident in their gender expression. There’s an article called Total Gender Change. Again, most of this information pertains to those coercively assigned male at birth and who have been through their assigned puberty, including a second puberty.
I have done a lot of Google searches for make hands and feet smaller (narrower, slenderer, and more elongated), but almost all of the searches came negative, so I decided to go a different route. You can have a combination of thinner wrists and wider hands, or wider wrists and narrower hands, or both narrower wrists and narrower hands, etc. The same might apply for feet and ankles. They can also be lengthened or shortened depending on preference. So far, I learned two things that might be of help in finding a reverse mechanism. First of all, the bones in the human skeleton grow both in length and diameter. through several mechanisms controlled by chemical messengers, which are also controlled by genetics and epigenetics. Sometimes endocrine disruptors can affect bone development, as well as malnourishment, drug use at an early age, and those who are taking lots of medicine for things like chemotherapy. That’s known as a stunted growth. People use oestrogen and other things to attenuate growth in kids with severe disabilities. Bone length is increased when new tissue is added to the ends of long bones called growth plates. After a certain age, oestrogen, or any form of testosterone converted via aromatisation, will inhibit bone growth by calcifying (ossifying) the growth plate. The same happens with cartilage. It is believed that hands and feet are usually wide for this reason. Figuring out how cartilage is calcified can have the means to cure things like Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva, osteogenesis imperfecta, and other bone-development and maintenance-related disorders. We can also use some of these inherited diseases to our advantage, like using the characteristics of FOP to recreate new bone tissue to replace broken bones by taking samples of a person’s soft connective tissue, or giving said person a new bone of a different size or shape for cosmetic and reconstructive purposes, like in facial feminisation therapy. Any form of cartilage, especially those in the throat, will ossify with age. That is why, if you have crooked teeth, it’s best to get braces early. That way, you won’t have to possibly deal with TMJ/D (tempromandibular Joint Disorder.) I myself developed it on the right side of my jaw in late 2018.
I can already feel some bossing immediately above my eyebrow, and I hate it. But that is what I love about basic research. If you focus on the basic stuff, it will hopefully lead to serendipities and great discoveries for potential cures rather than if we spent a lot of time and energy on just one or two major diseases. The problem is that the United States has always been slow at conducting research compared to other countries because we are largely focused on burocracy and political extremities instead of working together to come up with a compromise that would lead to a middle ground.
It appears that our palms and plants may have some kind of fat or muscle underneath, so we could use cool-sculpting to reshape them. The next step would be to actually make the bones smaller or shorter. I heard that ultrasonic therapy helps in lifting, toning, and tightening skin around certain areas, so this could help in removing the spaces around wrinkles caused by removal of something. I think this is called fat cavitation therapy. Muscles will have to be removed or converted into fat using a continuous supply of hormones, so that those wanting to be female will have the right amount of muscle to fat ratio. This would also allow them to play on equal level when it comes to sports. Most of their muscles are tone and shapely rather than bulging. Biological male skin tends to feel dry, flaky, and scale-like. Many biological females often retain their baby fat, so that may give us a clew when we regenerate this from embryonic stem cells.
The length of many bones, such as those in the hands and feet, are controlled by adding bone tissue to the ends close to where the joints are, so that the skeleton can move properly. This is probably why biological females are more prone to developing hypermobility, because they tend to be more flexible. It might also suggest that biological males who may have been exposed to oestrogen through any number of means could develop hypermobility, as well. Interestingly, biological male astronauts are more likely to complain of back pain compared to biological females. After puberty, these ends, which are primarily made of cartilage, begin to calcify or ossify. Obviously, the only way to get rid of these is to decalcify the ends and force the bones to shrink. Few people would attempt this, so maybe an alternative route would probably be a hand or foot transplant, possibly one from a donor, or one grown in the lab using various types of stem cells, or just regular cells, such as macrophages in a bioprinter. I’ve thought of using a controlled form of atomic oxygen or a focused jet of apple cider vinegar to soften bone tissue, since they are acidic substances that are known for reacting with calcium. What surgeons typically do for facial reconstruction is make an incision, raise the flap, cut or drill into the bone, remove it, reshape it with a number of different techniques, such as laser, ultrasound, or just plain chiselling them, and then reattach it back with a number of permanent and semipermanent metallic objects. The skin is then sewn back together. Interestingly, I read that if you wait for about six weeks, and then you remove the wires and screws holding the bones together, the holes will fill up in another six weeks. It is also no surprise that if you eat a lot of good flesh and bone-forming foods, you can help make this happen. You know that by feeding the right kind of food to animals, you can make them bigger, while if they get the wrong kind, they are runts, or dwarfs. The same applies to us humans.
Bone diameter, on the other hand, is controlled by a similar mechanism, and this is what I think could help if we had the means to do it. At some point during a child’s development, bone-making cells called osteoblasts would lay down new layers on the outside of the bones faster than normal while osteoclasts would chew up the layers inside the bone cavities more slowly. If we could do the reverse, we could have osteoclasts chew up the outer layers, but in order to prevent osteoporosis, we’d have to build new bone material inside the bone cavities to balance it out. The width of the bone, or its diameter, is controlled by how many layers of minerals are added and destroyed. Bone is constantly being remodelled. During a child’s growth, their bones begin to increase in thickness as more layers are placed. But wait. If you put too much of it at once, the bones will become very heavy. So another set of cells chew up the layers inside the bone cavity where the marrow is so that the space would be bigger. I was thinking to do the reverse. The osteoclasts would get rid of the outer layer while the osteoblasts would lay down new mineral layers inside the bone to make it smaller but stronger at the same time. If osteoclasts only dissolved the outer bone, that would result in osteoporosis. Bone is not static–it is constantly being remodelled.
Usually, the rate at which bone minerals are laid and destroyed are balanced, but this can change under certain conditions. Like for example, you currently have to take hormone replacements for the rest of your life, or until we found a way to make the gonads produce them for you. If you stopped taking them, then you will develop osteoporosis, so you will have to take medicines to prevent that from happening. Taking synthetic hormones also comes with possible side effects, such as blood clotting and blood pressure changes, as well as breast cancer. Hormones will activate the genes that would normally not be coded.
Anyway, Bones are able to grow both in length and width, but there are complex mechanisms that make it happen. So, what if I could somehow reverse this mechanism to make bones smaller? Imagine a very small tubular lead pipe. Every day, you add one coating of lead that fuses with the current structure. You do this for one week. Notice that the thickness between the inside of the pipe and the outside is much bigger, and therefore, much heavier, so now you have to dissolve some layers of lead on the inside of the pipe to get close to the original thickness and mass. So, for another week, you add a coating of a substance that would remove the amount of lead inside. The result is that you will now have a bigger pipe that might weigh more or about the same as before. So, all we have to do is reverse this process. Some parts of my body are small by comparison, such as my mouth, though this may have been due to a lot of orthodontic treatment growing up. So, that is something to consider when evaluating someone’s prior medical and cosmetic history. I recently got some earbuds with removable ear tips, and I found that the smaller tips fit better inside. I also heard that the size of our eyeballs remain the same throughout life from birth. Total morphology proportion analysis. The current methods for sex reassignment therapy is only a stopgap or interim measure until these alternatives have been discovered. For example, a neovagina is more likely to seal shut because the body’s genetic code calls for repairing all open wounds. It doesn’t have instructions to keep the artificially-made orifice open, so that’s why you often have to use a dilater.
Additionally, trans-women still need breast augmentation using artificial implants because they have really broad shoulders and wide ribcages. So, the trick here would be to figure out how to narrow those down without squeezing the organs underneath. In that particular instance, maybe a brain transplant or some form of replacement cloning would be the only option.
For both of these modifications, a bone scan (like dexa or sintigraphy) may be performed along with a 3D-printed model for comparison of both the host (your own body) and the target (a volunteer whose hand or foot you’re trying to match), or even their whole body. Bone scans shouldn’t be that hard, especially since two types exist. One is where hand x-rays are used to determine a child’s bone age, and another one, mainly used to detect bone cancer or bone density scanning, can get a thorough look at the skeleton for future modifications. To use less sophisticated resources, use glasses and helmets to measure the person’s face and head. Use a headband to determine the distance between the top of their head and their ears. Then you can use a watchstrap, bracelet, or wristlet to measure wrist width, gloves to measure hands, and similar techniques for the ankles and feet. Then you can use a tapemeasure to examine the neck, torso, and legs. I believe that transgender people should seek natural and alternative routes to successfully transition and still gain aesthetic, functional, and sensational benefit from these treatments.
Having big hands, feet, or just being big-boned in general can be a problem for anybody who identifies as female, causing lack of self-confidence and self-esteem. Fortunately, though, there are things being done about it, but probably not this minute. Since I am very interested in osteopathy and endocrinology, I frequently peruse over these materials regarding this stuff. The human hand is comprised of twenty-seven bones, and the human foot is made up of twenty-six bones. Take note that these parts have hundreds of muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and blood vessels, as well. I base most of what i write here from these findings, so please note that this is not based on professional thought.
Sometimes, people grow taller because they produce more human growth hormones, or because they intentionally take them. Some people don’t produce enough, which makes them very short. Some people’s long bones, like the spine, can fuse faster than other parts, which can cause disproportionate results, like having a short stature and having big hands and feet, or vice versa. There are other conditions that are particularly common in those with spontaneous growth spurts, like scoliosis. Some of these can result in chronic pain. I imagine scoliosis being like the way two pieces of plastic fused together grow side by side, especially since that’s how we evidently develop in the womb. One side is growing slightly faster than the other, which causes a mismatch in postural alignment. In fact, some people may have a slightly wider hand or wrist on one side, but a little narrower on the other. One of my pectoral muscles shows on my right side, but it is relatively flat on the left. That’s why, when you buy for new shoes, make sure they fit both feet.
I finally learned something about bone metabolism, which can help me a great deal, since bone remodelling occurs at various speeds depending on how old we are. Human bones have been successfully grown from a person’s fat, but that is not to say that it can also be grown from soft connective tissue, as well. Female upper arms tend to be longer than in males, plus they also have narrower ribcages. I thought of using medical imaging and nuclear medicine, which uses every diagnostic intervention to look at the person in full detail, including three-D. I would like to learn how the Dexa bone density scan works, so that I can possibly implement that in my novel I began writing.
Biological males tend to develop heavier boney eyebrows. The tips of the nasal bones tend to grow more in biological males than females, creating a larger, (longer or wider) nose. Female cheeks tend to be fuller and more rounded. Under the influence of estrogen, fat is deposited beneath the skin, acting as a cushion, and overall facial and body contours become softer. This is reversed by androgens. The jaw in males tends to grow wider and more deeply sculptured than in females, usually leaving the gum line unaffected. Biological females tend to have thicker, fleshier lips than males of the same size due to estrogen, although I know that some females can have really thin lips, which affect their ability to blow into a wind instrument. Also, the reason why trans-femme individuals often have a hairline lowering is to reduce the distance between the bottom of the forehead and where the hairline begins, since biological females tend to have a narrower forhead. If we actually tried to make it smaller by replacing the entire scalp, there is a chance that we might cause an increase in intercranial pressure because the brain might not have enough room in the smaller space.
Robot surgeons might be able to use lasers to cut through bone, replacing traditional saws and drills. Bones have to be strong and flexible. They cannot be one or the other. Calcium is what makes it strong, while collagen is what makes it flexible. It is a good thing that bones are not hard all the way through. If they were, there would be a different story. Bone scanners are not like CAT scanners. They usually involve a giant camera that takes pictures of a tracer that is absorbed into bone structures by moving around an arm, sort of like a panoramic X-ray machine. This is better known as a dual Energy X-ray Absorbtiometry scan. Also, I don’t like the idea of using titanium plates, wires rods, screws, etc to reconnect bones. There must be another way. Using bone cement is okay, since it is composed of the same material and even has some growth factors. We ought to figure out how to peg bones together, like the way they did using ivory. The only problem with this last idea is that there is a huge international ban because of how quickly people are killing elephants, which is why, again, we need to figure out how to regenerate tissue without having to kill them.
I have been searching every day for a miracle for my condition. The only thing that is realistically possible today from my understanding is adjusting androgens and oestrogen levels and some fake patch work. How far advanced has medical science really gotten? Can they resculpt the entire skeleton and the skull (jaws and all) with a bone scan? Can they redefine the collar bones, pelvic and puvic bones? Develop the mammary glands to form real breasts (not necessarily to produce milk although that would be even better, but rather than use fake implants)? Alter the number of skin layers (collagen and elastin levels)? Not have such coarse skin? Firm and reduce the pore sizes of the skin with a vacuum? Tweaking the larynx and altering the resonating chambers? Muscle and fat sculpting with cryolipolysis, liposuction fat transfer and fat cavitation? And, why not an actual transplant of the female reproductive system, or a development of one, rather than a fake vaginoplasty for people transitioning to female? Changing the size of the limbs? Changing the chromosomes? As far as skin texture is concerned, this article has some good information. I think that the pore sizes affect how the skin feels underneath your touch, making it feel bumpy because of the wide openings. As far as keeping bones from growing, there used to be a practice in China that was done a long time ago. It was known as foot-binding. And, check out this historical larynx transplant.
From what I understand, most of them are not effectively possible because of risks with transplant rejection and whatnot, but I am not too sure. Whenever I get these feelings, I always think of things that give me solace. Immunotherapy is also advancing a big deal thanks to haemopoietic stem cells and aphaeresis. What causes people to have big or small bones, anyhow? It depends on how fast they reshape themselves, and how many layers build up, which determines the thickness. It seems like people must give up something if they want that thing more. Like, if a transwoman wanted smaller limbs, she would probably hate to lose mechanical strength. Bone remodelling is still a few stages away, but the alternative would be a brain transplantation. For some reason, it is speculated that only one body can be used for brain transplantations. This might be due to something I read in My Brain on Fire where they talked about how the brain is immunodifferent. Still, there is a misconception that people assigned female at birth can transition easier no matter how old they are because they will just produce masculine secondary sex characteristics. The truth is that their bone structure will still remain small unless a miracle were to occur. That’s why a lot of trans-masculine individuals have low voices with high resonance. This is because the larynx has already hardened, so the only thing that lengthens are the vocal folds. Plus, their bodies usually do not increase in diameter due to growth plates being fused.
I hope this will renew your interest in pursuing this, as I know that having full-grown bones is an issue for me as well. I believe that a person should do as much as they feel they can do and get support from those who feel the same, like joining a participatory medicine group. If something doesn’t seem practical, it’s only because there aren’t enough resources, or because we don’t have the knowledge and understanding to work with. Money is the biggest barrier for inventions to be made. It’s easy for anyone to come up with an invention in science fiction, but to actually make it takes a lot of work. It doesn’t mean that it’s impossible, it just means that it can only be done if we all chip in. Dreams can become reality with enough willpower and effort. May you have good luck in your ventures!
