I'm a Transhumanist, and such hope that we will soon be done with silly things like sex and gender and move on to the far more interesting horizons of living forever and building Dyson spheres and such.

What would you then continue to live for though?

Not this shit again.

oh baby, precisely this shit again.

or you can y'know, actually produce content and divert conversation to it

i know i can't be fucked doing so

Innit cool being European, and letting all this sort of flow past you?

Probably building aforementioned Dyson spheres and using them to blast holes in reality.

... More bigger Dyson spheres.

I rarely get worked up, So I usually am quite comfortable before the crazies start joining in.

This. On my side or others, too much passion ruins good arguments.

Oh boy this shit again

I think you might be joking?  But this is pretty much my ideal.  Sadly not everyone is an asexual who kinda hates the very concept of gender.
At least when it divides people, or defines people, or excludes people.  People seem to love it though, so maybe there's redeeming value I'm not seeing.

[TD1]

As an asexual, I suppose you can only think of such things, but not feel them? Because what you said is rational, whereas sex (in both its meanings) isn't.

Aye sexy time and division has gone hand in hand since cell division

[Orange Wizard]

As far as I'm concerned, both the far left and far right are both utterly bonkers and largely indistinguishable. Half the stuff modern feminists and SJWs spout seems to be paraphrasing Mien Kampf, and I never cease to be amazed by the hateful idiocy coming from the mouths of so-called Christians.

I don't care about your politics or identity bullshit. People are different and that's not a fucking crime. Now please let me go back to playing video games and shitposting on the internet in peace, kthnxbai.

Nah, I agree with you. Gender is pretty much shit. And I dearly hope Sex will be made obsolete in my lifetime.

[TD1]

Variety is the spice of life, though.

Without gender, there would be an awful lot less variety.

[TempAcc]

True transhumanism would allow for unlimited sex for fun, in my book

I mean, sure, we could do away with the need to actualy eat through enough advances in nanotechnology, while also making ourselves immortal and being able to manipulate our bodies in any way we see fit while also enhancing our awareness, thus making reproduction irrelevant to the survival and continued evolution of our species, but I could still see sex as a relevant source of recreation :v

inb4 humanity becomes the eldar

We were shitposting just fine without you thanks.

Also by definition anyone who is trying to impose their will on others is enacting right-wing attitudes, just saying.

Humanity has made lots of neat stuff. Video games, works of art, literature and other stuff. With a massively extended lifetime, I could read ALL the books, watch ALL the anime, play ALL the games. Given a few hundred years, I could even learn to draw properly and make nice art, a quality I have always envied. It would take quite a while to run out of interesting non-fucking things to do, if ever. Probably much longer then entropy would allow me to live for, even with uberscience removing my natural age cap. The social ramifications of this would be... interesting, to say the least. The generational gap would be real, assuming new transhumans are being produced at all[Which would sort of need to happen, because entropy].


Back on topic[And ironically, completely uninspired by the current discussion], I've just caught myself typing "they" instead of traditional gendered pronouns when I need to use the latter for an RP. Given that I very much doubt that singular they is accepted in academic circles just yet, this could be a problem in future schooling. My WTF here is that I've already managed to ingrain an entirely new brand of sentence structure on myself in only 4-5 months.

Assuming this discussion doesn't get nuked, I'm probably going to sig this.

[Egan_BW]

Talking about Sex in the identity sense rather then the action sense.
Far as I'm concerned, you can have as much of it as you want after we're done getting rid of it.

Imposing their will on others is very much a thing both the radical right and radical left have done throughout history. The only real difference is the method and the excuses used to justify it.
