I think she may be confusing transgender with transhumanism. Or maybe she is just an ignoramus. Yeah, the first answer probably gives her too much credit.

She has outed herself, repeatedly, as being an ignoramus.

Well, to be fair, if you do an image search for “Kardashian,” you’ll see pretty good evidence that the early stages of trans-humans are already walking around with something like 15-20% non-organic mods.

But this idea that transsexual/transgender people existing in our society relatively free from violent persecution will somehow make being trans so attractive that the majority will just abandon their previous gender/sexual identity is so telling. I can’t speak for all straight people, but seeing a transgender person go about their life doesn’t actually make me want to abandon my own gender or sexuality, and I’d wager that most cisgender people feel the same way. Just like seeing a gay couple existing in the grocery store doesn’t make me want to abandon my marriage and dissolve the institution itself. Weird, innit?

“So the goal is really quite radical. We’re not talking about people who want to simply do a bit of reform here and there, add a new category. They want, they must, in fact, destroy whatever is in order to replace it with what they think should be. We’re talking about revolution, not reform.”

you say that like it’s a bad thing.

I am not an Egoist, but i feel the need to channel Max Stirner.

Gender is a spook. Be who you are, not what other people say you are.
