      I mean, I am a nonbinary person who does experience dysphoria. I just suspect that a lot of folks, especially those who don’t understand the consequences, would take the deal purely for perceived social benefits. Would they regret it? Possibly, yeah.

        I agree with you. But even worse, the perceived social benefits of being beautiful aren’t really what you’d expect when you’re actually living it.

          Yeah, a lot of the attention beautiful people (but especially beautiful femme-presenting folks) receive seems actively dangerous.

          Edit: plus, lots of one’s peers will likely attribute all accomplishments to beauty rather than merit, which sucks.
