Ignoring the fact that this isn't actually a thing I or anyone can do, I think it would be really funny to give JK Rowling gender dysphoria actually.

I’d give Rowling empathy; imagine how crushing that would be.

¿Por qué no los dos?

That's not actually impossible.

There exists drugs which are called "empathogens", as in "generating empathy".

Psilocybin, LSD, MDMA, they all belong to that group.

I'm strongly of the opinion that if all hateful billionaires and other arseholes were made to get a little empathy forced down their throat, we'd be much better off.

Like the "pretty obvious when you think about it" accords.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

I am pretty sure some famous people are famously into microdosing, but I think that’s besides the point—empathy is just knowing or imagining how someone else feels, sociopaths can imagine this just fine and use it in different ways
