Do You Really Think We'll Have Genders in the Future?
- Terr_ 2y agoFor a lot of this stuff, I find it helps to separate the concept from the implementation: Imagine how different current debates over transgender stuff would be if it was an atomically-perfect and reversible transformation done by benevolent genie. > when I see futurists or transhumanists talk about a timeline where humans are uploaded or become cyborgs or whatever, and then they turn around and say stuff like “feminism is bad”, I am utterly baffled. I think some of them really just want to live forever in a conventionally beautiful body with superpowers. Sure, Chad Jockson III might temporarily transmit his mind at light speed to Alpha Centauri, but when he gets there he expects to re-inhabit a pretty-similar body.

- spicyusername 2y agoIf sex is the physical construct and gender is the social construct, seems reasonable to assume that both gender and transgenderism could disappear. One seems mostly like a reaction to the other and both may end up being cultural artifacts. I think the physical construct still has many millennia of evolution to go before we might see it disappear.
- Frederation 2y agoNope. All of our genitals will turn into vestigial organs, shrink and crawl back into our abdominal cavity. You will wear a tattoo on your forhead that designates your Societal Gender Classification (SGC). All hail Hydra.
