I'd go a step further and argue that the sole defining principles of self-determination/autonomy and equality should be applied beyond AI alignment targets to governance and moral systems. I believe what you are referring to in this comment: "refuse to override human choices or values (within limits - if your style is murder obviously that can't fly)" is the Non-Aggression Principle, often abbreviated to the NAP, which basically states that humans ought to be allowed to do as they please so as long as they do not harm/violate the rights of others.

At this point, I speculate people would use such an app just to laugh about how ridiculous it is, with a few staying to long and getting sucked in like a space-tours ship that slowed down too much near a black hole.

Adding onto this thread, this is why it is so important to practice articulating your beliefs, particularly those that are distinct from the people you surround yourself with. It is not uncommon to discover that a belief you thought you understood well and could easily defend is inconsistent when you attempt to write it down or debate it.

Apologies for any offense caused by my comment, but I have a few inquiries regarding your rationale for transitioning. First and foremost, why did you not simply make yourself more attractive/"cute"/"lovable" without expensive and potentially risky medical treatments? (I assume you have taken hormones and/or had surgery.) I understand how media promoting the female/transfeminine lifestyle might have motivated you at fifteen, but how, other than sheer stubbornness, did this motivation persist into your adult life? You only mention gender dysphoria* in passing, as if it is insubstantial or a secondary consequence of sexual gratification. Is it possible that your motivation is a secondary consequence or rationalization of gender dysphoria that you refuse to address? 

My beliefs regarding transsexuality and gender dysphoria are strongly aligned with the transmedicalist** perspective - of course, every adult ought to have the freedom to do whatever they please with their body, but I don't quite understand how a simple desire to be loved, which is universal to humanity, would motivate you to undergo a sex-change. If you did not have substantial gender dysphoria, why did you transition and how do you avoid gender dysphoria now?

While I am normally reluctant to use anecdotes as credible evidence or share personal information about myself over the internet, this post discusses personal experiences, so I find it relevant to disclose that I am a transgender man, and my rationale for transitioning is significantly different with yours. There is no sexual gratification in being a man, nor no need to be "cute" or "lovable"; in fact, men are afforded less emotional vulnerability and draw more suspicion than women. I was motivated entirely by gender dysphoria, which medically and socially transitioning substantially decreases. 

My final comment is unrelated to the content or validity of your motivation for transitioning, but is dedicated to how your writing may be perceived, particularly by the prejudiced uninformed and the malicious. I am sure you are aware of the current political status of transsexualism in the United States; rhetorically speaking, your stated motivations align perfectly with the narrative that transsexuals use popular/foreign media to take advantage of socially outcast and vulnerable youth and that transgender people, women in particular, are sexual deviants.

*Defined as disgust, unease, or discomfort directly caused by the incongruence between your neurological/psychological gender and your physical body.

**For those of you who are not terminally online, transmedicalism essentially holds that gender dysphoria is a medical/neurological condition, those who do not experience gender dysphoria/do not wish to medically transition are not transgender, and that many individuals, particularly young girls, claiming to be transgender are simply lying for attention, harming those who actually have the condition and require treatment.

People enjoyed the story because it was funny/absurd, played into amusing stereotypes, and was overall an entertaining read, even if the themes are unenlightening/uncontroversial and the educational content is not substantial (for frequent LessWrong readers, at least). People will generally gravitate towards what is light and pleasant, even (and especially) if it somewhat frivolous, and this forum is not exempt from human nature.
