ok so i’m sorry upfront if this is a sensitive topic that i shouldn’t speak about. however i had this sudden realization like last week and now it’s stuck in my head. you deserve to know it too.

so there’s these silicon valley tech bros that talk a lot about transhumanism. That’s basically a movement that wants to improve your body somewhat through the help of technology, such as brain implants, cyborg bodies, etc… Well, isn’t transgender medical care a form of transhumanism as well? It surely does make use of technology, after all the girl pills and such come from laboratories (i’m not sure how exactly they’re produced but i guess it’s with the help of genetically engineered bacteria that produce the substances). So basically it feels a lot like people who get transgender care are kind of the first line in the movement to transhumanism. Isn’t that cool? or idk what else to say.

Anyways the realization is fascinating because most of these transhumanists are deeply republican for some reason. And they also hate against transgenderism for some reason? despite it literally being an application of the type of technology that they advocate for so heavily.
