The chant has been updated. "Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Nonbinary is valid." That's the full chant these days.

I fear "humanity is a social construct" is coming next. Or maybe something about therians. Sigh.

Well, I'd not be surprised at anything from these people. They already want to 'destigmatize' pedophilia and cannibalism, so...

Yup. Take a look at Martine Rothblatt's manifesto for the endgame. Or take a look at the Enhanced Olympics.

What's the gist of this manifesto actually?

The title says it all "From Transgender to Transhuman: a manifesto on freedom of form."

Explicitly calls for transcending to a new species, personus creatus. The self-creating person.

Calls distinguishing between sexes a form of apartheid.

Makes lots of delusional claims about technology, including that the tech to upload consciousness to the cloud will be practical within 5 years.

M. Rothblatt has preaching this from positions of power for 30+ years. Introduction is a glowing, breathless affirmation of Rothblatt's excellence, seems very culty.

The billionaire class have discovered that they're not immortal. Like kings before them, they're determined to transcend to godhood and live forever.

It's not going to work. But they'll do a hell of a lot of damage in the meantime.

Thanks. Holy fuck. This is entirely sick.

Yup. And Rothblatt is relatively small fry as far as I can tell. There are much bigger players involved.

People who have made billions in technocratic regimes are far more comfortable with discarding humanity than discarding the ideology that made them obscenely rich.
