*Working with your body can result in unpredictable changes to who you are, and you may have no say in the process or the results. Memories may be affected. Central aspects to your identity, such as sexuality, may be affected. At times, there is no choice, and there is no undo button. | *Working with your body can result in unpredictable changes to who you are, and you may have no say in the process or the results.
