Isn’t there a short story about inmates taking over the asylum?

Still, it would be handy to have tetrachromic eyes, or two thumbs like a koala...

A young wife might ask her new hubby, “How many children should we have?”

I guess no one is getting the irony that it's precisely this contraceptive mentality about human life as "something we make" that leads people to believe that everything is up for grabs.

Genderqueer/Androgynous

People who identify as genderqueer may think of themselves as one or more of the following:

• having an overlap of, or blurred lines between, gender identity and sexual and romantic orientation.
• two or more genders (bigender, trigender, pangender);
• without a gender (nongendered, genderless, agender; neutrois);
• moving between genders or with a fluctuating gender identity (genderfluid);
• third gender or other-gendered; includes those who do not place a name to their gender;

Yeah, transracial and trans-species reassignment. Ha Ha.

Looks like FReepers all agree that it is wrong to use drugs or surgery to maim one's inbuilt healthy sexual characteristics.

Yet --- think this through with me --- almost ALL FReepers are OK with contraception and sterilization, which, specifically and intentionally, directly maim or deliberately sabaotage inbuilt healthy sexual characteristics.

One rarely hears (around here) the counter-argument that, medicine should only be used to enable, rather than disconnect and disable, one's parts and systems; or that Biblically, God gave these procreative, generative powers, and it's wrong to try to "re-engineer" yourself with drugs, devices, and surgery.

Yet that's what the transgender person is doing: reshaping the function of sexual organs (impairing oneself "for health and happiness"!)

Really, it flows from that mentality that "how many kids should we have" should be choked back to one or two, and then --- snip, snip --- transsexual. Er, I mean, transsterile.

The body as raw material--- silly putty --- along the lines of "I'm redesigning myself". No wonder the tranny thing is so unstoppable. It's the logical next step.

There are many advantages to claiming minority status. Affirmative action and all that.

So here's what you do. Get yourself one of those ethnicity and genealogical DNA tests. There's bound to be some sort of minority evidence in your background, somewhere.

So suppose you are 0.02% Asian. That's enough! Remember, Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren had Native American status, and she had no evidence for that at all.

Change your species, race? Why not?

If I could swim with the dolphins, the soft and gentle dolphins...why can't I swim with the dolphins?

Change your species

An early experiment. Not entirely successful....
