It’s like the time Rush Limbaugh went off on “consent”.

When people wring their hands in trepidation over what will become of this human race I just say “who cares, none of us will be here then; the world belongs to the living.”
Besides, how do you think our founding fathers, who owned slaves and walked around in powdered wigs would look at us with our smart phones and bluetooth earpieces?
I’d really fucking love some functional goathooves. My real feet keep breaking down at the toe region.

Without which I would not have been able to function for most of my life. Now I have artificial lenses, which are even more awesome.
Thanks to fillings, I have a full set of teeth.

I had a conversation with a creationist flim flam man once… He had medical degrees. I asked him how to reconcile knowledge of vaccine and vaccine updates with being anti-evolution. He explained it: “macro-evolution isn’t real, but micro-evolution is,” by pivoting from biological ingnorance into geological ignorance and grabbing onto the whole “planet is a few thousand years old” joke as basis for idiocy. And since fewer people find geology as sexy or useable as basic biology, that’s their new way to con people. Dude knew exactly what he was doing.

I think the smartphones are what really do the trick. We’re already deep into cyborg territory, we just found a way to do it that’s less scary than brain implants.
IF you think the black mirror isn’t scary…

That’s fair. I don’t think there’s a mandate for how you sparkle.

Well, if you discount most conditions that require certain levels of pain as one of the necessary symptoms.
One of the reasons all women have been under-diagnosed for health conditions is that patients are either conditioned to under-report and minimize what they “self-diagnose” or people discount their “self-diagnoses” as not serious or meaningful.

Any idiot conservative boomer that has had a knee replacement is already further along this fucking stupid road of illogical fear than 99.9% of trans anything.

Similarly, one of the reasons that Black people tend to be under-treated is because too many medical professionals still (at least subconsciously) think that they have naturally higher pain tolerance.

“What are those things he has on his face? Is he some kind of witch? All that technology on his face has completely eliminated the very concept of a binary gender system! With those facial window panes of the devil I can’t even see his maleness! He’s some kind of sexless cyber-face!”
