      My thought was they were mixing up being transgender with being transhuman. Like they were intrinsically linking the two. Which like I can see some takeaways there, but Human Revolution is 100% an obvious racism allegory that gives you cybersunglasses. I don’t personally remember it having much to say about gender.

      yeah… I think conservatives see transhumanism as a liberal or globalist conspiracy that undermines religion, I’d assume libertarians are positive about it though

      The entire LessWrong cult is obsessed with living forever with superpowers but is also terrified of the idea of gender norms being blurred away into meaninglessness, that sort of thing.
