shapeshifting

depending on how realistic you want to keep it the benefits go from "pretty nice" to "god amongst men" level:

  • backpain? just fix your back
  • toothache? grow new teeth
  • don't feel like going to the hairdresser? shift into a different hairstyle
  • gender problems? forget HRT you can make hormones science doesn't even know about
  • aging is no more (if you want)
  • donate all the blood you want! hell you can donate your heart if you find a doctor that doesn't ask questions
  • mental fog getting you down? just fuckin change your brain. "is it still me after?" don't know don't care now go revolutionize physics Einstein
  • grow a tail

the possibilities are endless

With gender dysmorphia wouldn't it be better just to morph your whole body to align with your gender identity instead of just the hormonesp p

What if you shift into an inanimate object? Do you just no longer exist? Can you change back?

The way it always works in media, no. They retain their consciousness and ability. I suppose they COULD do that if they chose, though it would basically just be killing themself.
