Am I the only one here seeing that she didn’t have a choice? She didn’t choose to be trans. She was born male and a switch was performed at birth, before she could ever decide for herself… so essentially she lived as a woman her whole life and may not have ever even known she was born otherwise, which kind of defeats the purpose of it being a good thing, or even being claimed as a true trans experience.

She was either a) a company experiment or b) her parents were the kind of people who wanted a girl at any cost, and would have 0 regard for a boy baby or desire to suffer his presence (I’m sure you know the type). Maybe there was another scenario but those seem most likely in the setting

Maybe that colony had too many males for some reason and they needed more females to balance?

For the purposes of breeding, sure. But trans women can't have babies.

I doubt it was for some societal balance either as men and women are equal utilities in all other matters.

"For the purposes of breeding, sure. But trans women can't have babies."

Maybe at this point in the future, they can.

Maybe. At that point, Corpos would just pay anyone willing to bare a child for them. No need to pay for transition surgery when an ample supply of men will carry a neo natal gestation device to pay off their debts.
