It is what it is. I state this flatly. Enjoyment of this story depends on your view of human identity and human choice. In my opinion, the full extent of her power used on someone kills a portion of their sense of self and replaces it with something else. Like adjusting a machine to use different parts. The product is at best their sibling or close relative.
Wes/Lea is the best example of this. Gender dysphoria? Acknowledged. Then scrubbed away. Some personality traits? Well they don't like them, so just sort of "fixing" them is fine. S*xual orientation? Equally arbitrary. A person's choice in the matter, the fact that before all of this, Wes wouldn't have wanted this? Irrelevant. It's ugly. Horrifically, intensely, ugly. Watching a person get erased and replaced with someone that just happens to have their memories. If he always felt that way, fine, a completely different situation. But she created Lea. Wes was erased.
