Dysmorphia

Digital consciousnesses who had undergone fleshing, a process to implant them in highly realistic android bodies and program them not to notice anything that would contradict them being real organic humans, often felt dysmorphia without realising its cause. This included Emily. Before she learned the truth, she briefly believed that she might be trans and experiencing gender dysphoria, but the feeling still did not go away when she used a holosimulator to experiment with bodies corresponding to other genders, leading her to dismiss the hypothesis.
