For all of you who didn't see it when it first ran in the UK: The Detransitioners. Sorry if it's a repost, but I thought it was relevant to the question.
Pull quote: "I want to work on accepting my body exactly the way it is now,” Ellie, pictured on the cover of this magazine, told me. “This is what should have been encouraged from the beginning."
This might sound a little crazy, but I believe we are very well be on the transhumanism Rubicon, perhaps too late to turn back now. It's something I think everytime detransition is mentioned. Imo transgenderism a bunk medical idea that would go down the bin along with Nazi-style eugenics and lobotomy.
Yet we'll still have to deal with the aftermath - that you'll have women who do not look ostensibly like women, and (less so) men who do not look like men, not of a natural intersex conditions but because of artificial tampering with hormones. And this kind of alterations are not just troons things, sport doping and castrati came to my mind.
People will have to be accustomed to it in some way. It might open up for a more genderless society some terfs are talking about, and I can only wonder how will sexual attractions and making work in that era as our current way of determining sex without looking at their junk became obsolete.
But social norms always change, we aren't running in the plains spearing mammoths anymore. Medicine too is always changing and we have conquered so much of fatal diseases - by having people live extended through artificial means.
This won't be just sexual characteristics, soon we'll have genetic editing, or new chemical ways to alter human bodies. Those things will get used for nonsensical ideas (other than actual neccesity) and it'll left us with humans who may not look "human" anymore - but they are still very close to baseline human genetically. and they'll find a place in ever changing society.
Not that I agree with it, I just think of it as a somewhat disturbing (for most people) fate humanity will be in.
