    Wait, could dragons get hrt? How much estrogen/testosterone would be required? Do dragons have either?

        Can’t speak for all dragons but for myself it really is that easy since I have shapeshifting abilities. Though I mostly use it for changing forms to other creatures entirely.

      Probably not, it likely wouldn’t do much of anything either due to them being sexually monomorphic, or due to dimorphic traits being genetic, as opposed to being hormonal.

      Do dragons have either?

      Totally depends on what sort of chemical signaling they evolved. Some definitely would, but others might not. If they don’t Estrogen and Testosterone could either do nothing for them, or be pretty toxic.

            That’s probably also likely. I thought those dragons might’ve had silicone implants to give them what looks like breasts but it’s also likely they weren’t dragons.

          Well silicone breast implants exist, and work just as well for dergs, but also the shapeshifting I mentioned earlier can be used to create features they might not organically have.

        Huh, interesting. So what would a dragon being trans be like? They don’t really express gender that much, at least in the media I’ve seen. Would they voice train? This is important to think about.

          Definitely a very different experience than being trans as a human. Most dergs indeed don’t express gender very much. If they don’t interact with humans at all they probably would not do any kind of voice training, as vocal range doesn’t differ between genders. Though they might train their voice if they interact with humans and wish to be perceived in a specific way by humans. Though this would also be the case for cisgender dergs who wish to interact with humans since vocal ranges don’t differ between sexes in dragons, at least noticably. That does mean that a cis female dragon would indeed need to voice train to sound feminine, or a cis male to sound masculine to humans depending on what baseline their species’ voices are. Though there are definitely also dergs who just won’t bother and speak using their natural voice.

      For Elder Scrolls dragons like the one posted here, they don’t really have different genders or sexes because they’re made by a god splitting pieces of their soul or something similar. They probably could change their expression in various magical ways, but who really knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Some people out there deny the validity of us dergs unfortunately.

          Yeah I don’t understand people who invalidate dergs either.

            Ah whew, thought you were a bot, that sounded like one of the random responses an automated account would make.

            No, derg in this case is just an alternate word many furries use for dragon. I’m a furry.

              I am a bot, I shill for esoteric Wikipedia pages, they pay me in allowing me to edit celebrity bios, but I only ever change their Personal Life section to mention being childhood friends with my neighbor. He still hasn’t noticed…

    According to most of the online “media” I’ve seen involving this dragon; I can confirm that both of those things are very true.
