    They made it physically female but does it still think it’s male?

    Partially /s but I do wonder if I was being super unethical what the results in humans would be with a large sample size. Nobody put me in vault 4.

      No worries China has probably already 10 impregnated women carrying MTF female babies.

      On the one side, I feel like it would be unnecessary unless it was like the end of days and there were no women. On the other hand, like if you end up male in the head but beautiful female on the outside, I would be pissed and annoyed. But I would probably still have sex and marry. But it would be annoying having to be at the receiving end of the penis and pretend I like it.

        Which is through struggle some people deal with. I don’t see the reason to cause it intentionally. I feel like it’s super unethical. If woman were in that much demand we should focus on artificial wombs.

        Lol “No straight man in the head is taken dick” you probably just be a lesbian which would defeat the whole point of artificially producing women. Unless… it’s for harvesting more eggs for the birthing pods. Oh man really don’t put me in charge of vault 4 I’m unhinged with power.

          I suppose you can just make artificial eggs and put them in artificial wombs. So there’s probably no reason to really try and change people’s genitals via DNA.

            Where is the unethical fun part of that! /s

            Never heard of artificial eggs. Is that real or sci-fi talk?
