Say, my knowledge on pills that make your skin turn green is lacking. Is that, like, a permanent thing? Out of curiosity. Not necessarily about regret, but if someone wanted to give the green skin a try, is that a no backsies? Is that the kind of thing people can try and then, eventually, if they get there and don't vibe with it, just quit, go back? If someone's like "eh, I'm not feeling this green skin. Not my thing".
Also, what happens if one keeps on forgetting to take the pills / doesn't take the pills as regularly as they should (no green skin pill alarm or reminder)?
You can tell my knowledge is lacking on this field, but tbh I reckon pills that make your skin turn green isn't an area yer average human being knows much about
I think most green skin will change back to normal after months of no longer taking it, but there are certain parts are permanent. Once your nipples turn green, you'd have to replace you nipples to no longer have green nipples. Or if you are taking the kind that gives you green facial hair, you'll need laser to get rid of that and the green voice also permanent.
Forgetting your green pills occasionally would probably just slow the process down. As long as you aren't forgetting them like 90% of the time after having your anti-green skin organs removed, it shouldn't be a big deal if you forget sometimes. Just might look a little less green, like some naturally green elderly people whose natural green-skin production has slowed.
The aforementioned effects do not happen the other way around, no? Like, one cannot ungreen nipples with certain pills, or ungreen facial hair & voice with different pills. Right? Taking the "opposite" pill will not have these effects? Not thinking so much of undoing what has been done by such pill, but more so the effects the first time around (I.e. not to ungreen something that has been greened with pills, but ungreen something that was already green naturally)
Removing anti-green skin organs? Isn't green skin an effect of hormones, which said pills play on? Unless you're talking about something else here (or I'm uninformed, which is very possible). On a similar note, there's one pill to "remove" purple skin and one pill for getting green skin, no? Pretty sure I've heard of something like that somewhere (or not. Idk.)
Guess it'd be easier to find a "green skin 101" and properly learn stuff, but I reckon I'd just be inundated with "chroma key 101" instead. Still, am always interested in learning more (usually in video format, cause I'm lazy to read sometimes). I mean, I already have a trans creator (who talks trans stuff) on my video feed. Maybe it's a matter of searching for the older content to learn more.
Anyway, thanks for the information and for your time!
Correct. Other methods are needed to fix those things.
Doesn't really matter either way (although surgical changes of A -> B -> A are a lot harder than A->B or B->A).
Gonna just break the metaphor here: If you have testes (or ovaries I assume) removed and don't take any sort of supplemental hormones, it can have a negative impacts on bone density long-term.
Yeah. Two different regimes. But the meme seems intentionally vague about what green skin is a metaphor for, so I tried to make my comment apply both ways >.<
Also, not using a poorly defined metaphor to talk about it would help be more clear about things. I don't have any videos to suggest unfortunately.
No worries.
Thanks for breaking out of the metaphor. The metaphor is kinda fun and silly (I think), but it does hinder the communication a wee bit (I rolled with it cause it's fun). I wasn't really thinking of surgical removal of body parts (internal or external), hence why I was mentioning hormonal changes. Tbh, I reckon "surgical changes" is probably the part ATM that I know least about, seeing as I've heard of the hormonal stuff a tad. But I can learn about that on my own
