Pro Tip 1/3Chemical Process
Electrolysis in chemistry involves a current initiating a reaction, not just passing electricity through.
Students learn that electrolysis can produce chlorine from saltwater.
Pro Tip 2/3Industrial Use
Electrolysis is often used in industries, like extracting metals or making compounds.
Electrolysis is key in refining aluminum from bauxite ore.
Pro Tip 3/3Requires Energy
The process requires an external electric source to occur, unlike spontaneous reactions.
A battery was connected to initiate the electrolysis of the solution.

I mean, we need to drive down the cost of electrolysis, and it's always going to be more expensive than just pure electricity. That's a thermodynamic certainty. But once you have hydrogen, you can reform it with other chemicals into liquid fuels, like synthetic diesel for airplanes or long haul trucks or ships.

In the first couple of years when you're transitioning you don't really fit into any gender, because you're changing over. You have to start getting electrolysis before you even start your therapy. But I think all the weird looks help to give you conviction in who you really are.
