This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Well sure but... Why? That's a great way to give a huge blow to your body for fun. Anyway, it's 4chan so whatever. In any case you are right, I assumed more than was stated.
Does it matter why? Bodily autonomy means bodily autonomy for everyone, regardless of whether you "understand" or or not. If he wants to be a more feminized masc, is it hurting you?
No, it's not, which is why I agreed that you were right in that very same post.
People modify ("deal a huge blow to" in your words) their bodies all the time to fit certain preferences. Be it tattoos, piercings (including earrings), cosmetic surgery or even stuff like body building.
It is not that strange that people want to express themselves with their body.
What do you mean by "huge blow to your body"?
Can't give a general answer, but we can look to history. Consider the Castrati: removing the testicles before puberty prevented a boy's voice from changing, giving them a high singing voice in adulthood.
