Donna Haraway is not transhumanist. Her work can be associated more with posthumanism, but she even distanced herself from this term because she finds it too appropriable in a transhumanist direction (in https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0263276406069228).

Here it seems to be just an honest mistake, but there are some people online that are really pushy to make it sound like transhumanism and solarpunk are somehow intrinsicly related, while in reality there is at most a minor overlap at the fringes.

I agree. They're not intrinsically related, there is a tiny overlap due to a schism in transhumanist thought. I consider myself a natural transhumanist. Usual transhumanism is entirely cyberpunk territory.

Thanks for the info! I was vaguely aware that her work went in a different direction. I've said it in the post already, but I clearly want to distance myself from transhumanism. I've updated the post to reflect that, and clearly distance Donna Haraway's work from transhumanism as well.
