Thirding for emphasis: Both in the case of actual transsexuals and mere fembois, I don’t think men actually want to be women. They specifically want to be the kind of idealised feminine archetype that exists in fantasy stories/anime who exists to be pampered for everything, and is basically one bad jolt away from shidding and fardding uncontrollably. They just want to be taken care of.
The more I learned about female biology the more I understood why women put so much emphasis on social validation throughout history and why many are demotivated from sticking to a sport. Being a tomboy-not completely following whatever the boys do, just exploring your own interests and individuality in a healthy, constructive manner without falling into the trap of performative societal expectations. Late 90s/early 00s tomboy-is unironically the most fulfilling state of being female.

I would simply nuke Chaos preemptively by directing Apollyon Cannon-level attacks at their corpuses.

A lot of people will tell you the answer is “not very well”, and in the short term this is true. Avoiding the question of inconsistent scaling and underperformance re: 40K, even at the lowest possible interpretations the Terran Confederation projects less force than the Imperium does while struggling to exist to the extent there’s an argument to be made that the Imperial Guard alone is comparable in munitions quality while also just plain having more members. The High/Dark Templar have a smaller range than Eldar Farseers for their ability and are less…exaggeratedly lethal than Harlequins or Succubi/Incubi in close quarters, although they still have a respectable amount of force projection. The best thing you can say about the Zerg compared to the Nids is they can go off-planet much sooner (scourges, other flight capable morphs), make better use of infested humans and have better centralised command in the form of Cerebrates. In sheer growth rate and AGGREGATE psychic potential, the Tyranids have a distinct advantage. Ironically the Nids out-Zerg the Zerg.
I feel that overlooks some of the nuances though. Yes, you’ll never see Templars merging together into a psychic god, but their abilities are MUCH more reliable than psykers so there’s an argument to be made that in terms of consistency and reliability they might actually prevail against Eldar forces in pitched battle due to being able to dish out battlefield-scale psychic storms if the Farseer can’t navigate around a straight fight. There’s also an argument to be made that channeling the power of the Starcraft Void should be effective against daemons and other undying enemies given Amon was specifically killable in it. But Starcraft’s strongest argument is the Xel’Naga. Specifically, the fact that the Overlord’s retroactive long term plan to free it’s species succeeds and results in Kerrigan becoming a Jean Grey expy. It’s not how most Starcraft fans WANT to win this particular powerlevel argument, but the fact of the matter is there isn’t actually much in 40K that can stand against a no-bullshit unambiguous biokinetic on a universe scale who can blow up other universal threats with big beams. The trick is surviving long enough to find the right psychic Starcraft human to start levelling up.

Despite my best efforts to make mine monomaniacally focused on law/order/rulership/perfection, yes my Jumper has a massive repertoire of skills like dance-based conflict resolution due to sheer volume of jumps.

Here’s a reasonably concised but detailed summary. I’ll always advise people to do your own research unless you literally need to know about mikos in under 3 minutes or something, lest the AI start hallucinating facts and tell you that Mikos were instrumental in supporting the Meiji Restoration by piloting Gundams against the evil wolf goddess Amaterasu during the Finno-Korean Hyperwar.

I took over the world, and fired a SOCIALISATION BEAM at Tomoko.

Basically the barrier between the Immaterium and the mundane world is closer (or at least, differently arranged) than it is in 40K. The Great Vortex filters and distributes it to maintain a safe level of existence, with the Winds being “currents” of magical energy sorted into vague and frankly inconsistent domains (don’t get me started on how Ghyran and Ghur would be the exact same fucking thing if western fantasy writers didn’t distinguish nature red in tooth and claw from pretty green purifying nature, notwithstanding how savage Asrai can be) harnessed through artifacts, somatic gestures and symbolic associations into various phenomena. Skipping over the purely cognitive exercise of psyker abilities as a middleman.
