Why do right-wing reactionaries always make the future they're trying to warn us away from sound so cool? I'm not even trans, but if they get to be cyborgs I'm starting to think I'm missing out!

(Also, binars, amirite?)

If they weren't so awful to other people, you'd really have to feel sorry for them. They lead lives of terrible repression and guilt and fear.

Watch the documentary "Jesus Camp" to get a taste of the brainwashing these folks have been subjected to (and subject their kids to). It's terrifying and heartbreaking.

Of course they are afraid of a future that is actually pretty cool. They are afraid of a PRESENT that is actually pretty cool.

They can see a happy gay couple, raising kids, living a great life, and see nothing but the work of the devil.

Meanwhile they worship a criminal rapist adulterer, because he hates all the same people they do.

Trans people are cyberpunk as fuck.

Get out of the way endocrine system, I’m taking over.

That sounds amazing. I have bad plantar fasciitis on my foot, wouldn't mind replacing it with a bionic one. Switch up the arms to robot arms while you're at it.

Meanwhile the disabled are the ones actually getting cybernetics. I’m trans but the first cybernetic implants I’m going to get will almost certainly be because I have degenerative hearing loss. But it’s hard to rant about the cyborg threat when you know it’s your grandparents. It’s just like how they don’t want to acknowledge that ftm bottom surgery was developed for soldiers who lost their dicks in combat.

That person is confusing transgender with transhumanism.

In this supposedly undesirable future, are the cybernetic implants open source or are they proprietary?

She knows the difference, she's just creating outrage for political goals
