That is what it says if you don't read beyond the top of any spell summary, yes.
The transformation lasts for the duration, or until the target drops to 0 hit points or dies. If you concentrate on this spell for the full duration, the transformation becomes permanent.
You can do it with lower level spells, but it's not going to be permanent.
I can't speak for tranny age, but D&D has a true polymorph spell. It's not particularly expensive, though it is 9th level. Finding someone capable of casting it would probably be the most difficult part.
Short of that though, there's no shortage of cheap, cursed garments that can also do the same thing until removed. A ring would be both easy to wear and and not get in the way of whatever degenerate things they want to get up to.
The closest they've ever been to a gun is a video game with aim assist, so of course they don't know the first thing about firearms. I've seen first-hand how those retards behave when you actually give them a gun, if they don't cuck out or run away screaming.
Also, in Stormblood the main character (that is, the player) remains the main character. It might be Lyse's story, but if she's Yuna, the player is Tidus. Dawntrail downgrades the main character from Tidus to Kimahri.
Don't forget the mandatory "It's their culture and we need to learn about it and respect it" every 5 minutes. Even when that culture is causing shit to go bad and the savior is just standing 5 feet away and could stop it all from happening.
Actual Canadians probably wouldn't say anything. And if it was White Canadians it'd be framed in a negative light. So I can only assume that means one or more "minority" groups in occupied territories is worried about having to share.
If I recall, the plot was some ancient entity telling you "Bad stuff will happen if alchemy gets released" and "go fix it", then later you find out bad things are currently happening because alchemy is not released (re: the world is literally falling apart), so you switch sides to let it out. I don't recall anything explicitly bad about alchemy, other than it being abusable.
The lesson is to not openly advertise DIE and instead hide it to be discovered after the game has already been purchased.
