The need for joint research between departments can't be understated as crossover is quite common. The reluctance comes from much of the idea that one department may find their research taking new steps forward while the other gains nothing. This is why much of what we do can be rather segmented. Thankfully, Dr.Rosario and I have been able to come together to identify something which was theorized but never confirmed. The idea of male alien hybrids and their relation to female counterparts. They come in three varieties and all of them hold rather substantial risks.
Category 1: These are the type that most men assume and/or wish to be. The type of alien hybrid which does large amounts of breeding as they spread hybrid seed as far and wide as possible.Typically, they have a rather high view of themselves and take pride in impregnating women. Whether or not they are the type to build families does depend on their upbringing, though many lack such a stable family life to instill those values in them. These type spread alien hybrid DNA and cause it to dilute and become a recessive gene that can activate later in life. This even happens to men in this category as well, tracing their lineage back to find alien heritage and discovering where much of their behavior lies.
Category 2: These types are technically unfortunate in one way or another as they are either men who turn out effeminate or may struggle with body dysphoria before coming out as transgender. However, in cases like these, rather than taking on more masculine traits they can slowly naturally transition to being a woman thanks to their alien DNA. However, cases which the ACC have been able to identify are all men who go through extreme and rapid transformations. Whether they were androgynous, effeminate or otherwise, the change can happen at any time and can often triggered by any number of things. Known triggers include sexual exploration, extreme arousal, contact with other alien hybrids or aliens of a similar species. After the transformation, they will be indistinguishable from any other woman and will show the same rates of enhanced fertility as any other alien hybrid that was born a woman.
Category 2.5: This category is a strange transitional stage as these cover men who are able to naturally be impregnated without exhibiting feminine traits. Cases like these are the rarest but have been documented. Cases like these are often met with staunch denial and a near delusional state when pregnant. More study is needed in regards to cases of this nature.
Category 3: The men in this category are those who, regardless of gender identity or physical traits, become broodmothers. While expected that there are broodfathers, this is a misconception. Those in category one do not have any elevated genetic states as it provides no advantages to any alien species. It often times draws too much attention and causes the alien hybrids to either be caught or killed depending on the situation. Instead, the conversion to broodmother is one that benefits due to the surge of offspring born. According to Dr.Rosario broodmother genes can manifest in a number of ways prior to physical transformations, which include seclusion to prevent any interference. This appearing in men about to become hybrid broodmothers is unsurprising as they would likely feel themselves on the verge of changing. Once the change begins, whether rapidly or gradually, the masculine traits quickly reduce until completely vanishing. Granted, these disappearing traits are hard to notice as the subject grows into a large sphere in some cases. However, in cases of lesser brood mothers, the appearance of feminine traits is still visible. There are even signs that the male genitals still remains in some cases. What makes this tricky is that male alien brood mother hybrids are far more resistant to the hormone therapies used to reduce symptoms. Dr.Rosario theorizes this is due to the genetic make up caused by the more extreme transformation. Because of this, the few male brood mothers that are found have remained in strict containment as there is no treatment to reverse their condition. They can only be managed to reduce birth rates, though the presence of other alien hybrids seems to cause them to surge and requires additional hormone therapy.
Dr.Rosario, taking over for Dr.Yennifer: Brood mother studies have thankfully been able to learn a great deal from these cases. While some alien hybrids are still a major risk, the hormone treatment plans are advancing steadily. We understand that any alien hybrids who may be aware of our work are scared, but I can assure you that we only want to help. My family has shown a genetic heritage of alien hybridization, so I have grown up with them. I know that persecution for being yourself makes it feel as though we want to change you. However, you have to understand that the alien genetics in your body may have consequences you aren't prepared for. Our treatment do not fundamentally change those who choose to take them. They only exist to make it so that any alien hybrids out there are able to continue their lives with little disruption. However, if you have any questions, I'd be more than happy to answer them.
