If you're for trans rights then you should be for transhumanist rights

So how come when I shitpost in Serious, it gets moved, but when Dustin does it, the thread goes on for a while?

Is it because you guys don't see that he's shitposting or what?

Wait, are people seriously starting to conflate otherkin with transhumanists?

No wonder I have constant urges to brutally murder people all the time.
What the fuck are otherkin?

The thing you put in the OP.
So otherkin and transhumanists are the same thing?

Do you want me to shoot you?

Transhumanists are people who seek to improve the human form/condition with any range of mechanics/bionics/genetic engineering/augmetics/selective breeding/eugenics and a few other things. In my version, it's about recognising the flaws of being a meatbag and seeking to remove/improve those flaws with robotics/augmetics.

Not being some lunatic who has plastic surgery to look like a cat. That's tumblr stealing the term that's been around since Science fiction started to explore ways to escape the fate of a meatbag.

Transhumanism is basically what the Deus Ex games are about. Mechanically augmented people, essentially. Cyborgs(?)

Otherkin/furfaggotry is what your OP is about. Honestly, I'm still kind of sketchy on the transgender thing (only in Tumblrfag cases where they're a mix of thirty different "genders" and it makes no goddamn sense), but identifying as a completely different species is just straight-up moronic.

I also live in Connecticut so he double can't.

Triple he can't because I don't want to ever have to step foot in clapistan.

Now they definitely have a mental issue. No.

January 05, 2015, 03:59:01 PM

I'm not for either. You're born the way you're born, and just because you want to be a pretty girl or some animal doesn't mean the whole world should stop to accommodate you.

You can't blame tumblr for this one, because even they know that what Dustin posted isn't transhumanism. You're just bullshitting stuff up, man.

Anyways, transhumanism is pretty wicked. It'll be exciting to see where science goes with it.

<_______<

Well he better be bullshitting on this, but I'm not sure my blood pressure could take finding out what the tag contains on tumblr.

He is bullshitting. This isn't transhumanism and even tumblr agrees:

I like how half the people avoided the question just to make a point of semantics.

I don't believe I did <.<

>implying semantics aren't important

The word you use to describe these retards is the key here. Additionally, myself and others have actually answered the actual question and you've just not noticed or chose to ignore it.

the transhuman tag is pretty tame, too. i feel like anyone on tumblr who does use transhumanism/transhuman to describe their status as "otherkin" just doesn't understand the etymology or real meaning of transhumanism
