@AthenasWrench @TranimeGirl What the actual fuck...

@AthenasWrench @TranimeGirl Is.. Is this transhumanism?

@Surasanji @AthenasWrench Maybe I have no idea what I'm talking about, but I thought transhumanism was unesessary enhancements, such as increasing one's vision beyond 20/20 - which I'd be fine with.

@TranimeGirl @AthenasWrench It is a belief that one can evolve beyond human limitations through science and technology.

So, in a sense, being able to literally be both genders would be a transhumanistic idea.

@AthenasWrench @TranimeGirl I don't think we can assume that Epstine's views on anything were shall we say pure or innocent.

Transhumanism in and of itself is not negative. But, there are ethical and moral questions to be answered.

Some of them are easy- is it wrong or unethical to give a blind person sight? Probably not. Is it wrong or unethical to help a person walk again after losing limbs? Not at all.

And, for people like Tranime, it might be a real boon to their health and mental well being. Being able to literally change your biological sex from Male to Female or Female to Male with all that entails may well be a cure for that particular dysphoria, and really, it wouldn't hurt anyone at all.

But then you see things like this, and you come up to questions that start raising ethical issues. Is what this person doing mutilation? Is it just body modification? Where does one's right to do what they want to their body end and the ethics of making something wholly inhuman begin?

@AthenasWrench @TranimeGirl not quite, Eugenics would be more like selectively breeding human beings and removing 'undesirable' elements from the gene pool.

Transhumanism, however, deals more with science and technology. Gene editing might fall into this category, but so do things like bionic eyes. It's not, specifically, creating a master race or anything like that.

@AthenasWrench @TranimeGirl They are similar things, but I wouldn't say it is semantics. They really are two wholly different schools of thought regarding human beings and how to improve them.

It would be safe to say, though, that they fall under the same philosophic umbrella.
