'''Varioformic | '''Varioformic is a transgender-adjacent umbrella term for those to physically alter their body (transition) in uncommon, partial, or otherwise non-standard ways in relation to gender identity.''' Most of the time, these physical alterations are via Hormone Replacement Therapy, physical training and/or surgeries.
