A wish. One, single wish.
The power to shift reality in almost every way possible. No greater power could exist, and no greater responsibility to use it right.
As I stared at the lamp in my hands, I pondered the sheer magnitude of such a thing. Even within the small cosmic scale of our own planet, a tiny change would ripple out through the vast inter-connected web of EVERYTHING that our societies interacted with. Too careless of a change, and everything would fall.
What was needed was something subtle, yet distinct. Small in scale enough to only affect us as much as possible, but powerful enough to (hopefully) put us on a better path.
Then, it came to me. Something that would up-end our entire world just enough that, in the long term, we would only benefit.
"I wish..." I spoke slowly, so as to make sure my wording was right. "I wish that every sentient individual on this planet had the capability to augment their own physical sexual characteristics whenever they so pleased."

You're doing your best, and that's awesome.
