At the risk of sounding pedantic (which I am), beaming up doesn't physically move you up, just molecularly deconstructs you on the spot.
Side note, do transporters purge poop when transporting? Cause why not, they filter stuff out anyway, might as well de-poop and de-pee.
Given the explanation of how it works, it just vaporises you and constructs a copy elsewhere.
Not exactly, it does a lot of extra stuff in between; it stores your entire molecular structure in the buffer (basically downloads you into RAM), filters out foreign pathogens like viruses (except when it doesn't), apparently keeps your molecular structure log after each transport (which is somehow different from being kept in buffer), sometimes accidentally merges you with another species if you happen to have a certain flower with you, etc.
