Thanks for responding. You answered most of my questions, and I don’t want to get into tiny details about theoretical psychology changes.

Regarding an all powerful parent, are you saying that you would not take that deal if offered? Also, it’s better then being a lonely human.

Regarding traps, Yes the word trap still is used to mean a guy who gets confused by someone who looks female but actually has a penis. However, in recent times the word has become more confusing. Traps can refer to transwomen, but it mostly refers to very female looking males with flat chest and female proportions who still think of themselves as male. (this is due to anime I think)

“I honestly fail to see the point. If you’re attracted to female features, go for women. If you’re attracted to male features, go for men. But to take a male only to emasculate the living daylights out of him, and somehow manage to get turned on by the result ? What could possibly be the logic in that ?” There is very little logic when it comes to sexual attraction. I can understand the evolutionary reasons why women are attracted to men, but personally don’t understand why anyone would want to touch that body. You only know the human race under its current sexual dimorphism. If humanity were less sexually dimorphic and you grew up in that world, you would think that was the correct state and find humans like us repulsive. Take fantasy Elves for example, they are a very beautiful feminine race usually. And in most fictions look down on humans. For some reason female elves usually fall for human men, even though in reality, they would be disgusted by them for not looking like elven men.

“I think you unconscious nailed it with the "To me, men are kind of ugly creatures" line. In today’s feminism-driven society, masculinity has been culturally degraded into something shameful and disgusting, by these very same people who pretend to be fighting for equality.” I don’t know whether I have “internalized misandry” or have been brainwashed by feminism, either way I don’t care.(I hate feminism by the way!) I like what I like.

“This is total nonsense, of course. Without the backbones of masculinity, mankind who have gone extinct literally ages ago. And after half a century of prosperity-induced softening up, western societies are now being slowly eaten alive by badass foreign cultures that they no longer have the balls to oppose, while continuing to push the sissifying agenda ever louder.”

Masculinity is very important no doubt, but masculinity distilled to its true essence is not big muscles, hairy bodies, and v shaped hips. It’s ‘the ability to gather and protect resources’. Take Lawrence for instance he is the ultimate masculinity, not because he is handsome, that’s redundant. It’s because he can ‘gather and protect resources’ better then any other man in the multiverse. If Lawrence was a female or a cute femboy they would still be more masculine then any man in the multiverse, but with the added distinction of transcendent goddess like beauty.

We live in an increasingly technological society were machines and AI will continue to take away men’s traditional roles(along with women’s role too). Men have gotten increasingly more feminine because the environment has gotten less harsh (that’s a good thing). If AI and machines are better then men at “gathering and protecting resources”, then they will become more like women, because a benevolent environment does not call for extreme sexual dimorphism (see bonobos). The only reason why men even exist is because women can’t do everything on their own due to the evolutionary cost of pregnancy. The only way humanity can keep up with AI is through transhumanism. People will need physical as well as cognitive upgrades. This will probably lead to gene editing that will create new genders like futanari, and naturally occurring femboys. While machines do the grunt work that plagued our species in the past. Our species could look quite different in 100 years let alone 1000.

Rome fell for a variety of reasons. When you mean “until their men turned into women” I think you mean the break down of families, which was a part of why Rome fell but also: military losses, overspending on war, over reliance on slave labor that dried up, government corruption, civic pride waning, migration and oppression of the Goths, reliance on mercenary legions… ect.

“like I’m pretty sure many smart romans must have seen the end coming” Hindsight is 20/20. People have always thought the world was coming to an end and things were only getting worse in every nation at every point in time. However, books like Steven Pinker’s book ''' Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress. '''In it he details that the raw data shows that life is steadily getting better across most dimensions of modern life. Look up “Mean World Syndrome” too it’s quite interesting.

Back to Lawrence, all in all, he is your creation therefore he is going to have your taste and preferences. He is a cool power fantasy, even though I would do things a little differently then him, but still really cool and likeable.
