Five ways Transgenderism is Transhumanism

How the trans movement assimilates us into an alternate humanity.

Here in June 2022 — Pride month — most people are generally aware of the transgender movement (abbreviated in this article as ‘trans’), but few see the other ‘trans’ movement that’s sure to follow in its wake. What other trans movement? Transhumanism.

Transgenderism is just the warm-up act, it’s the vanguard for the end game — full-blown transhumanism.[1]

The trans movement pretends to be a grass-roots, completely organic groundswell of trans rights activists fighting for the oppressed and disadvantaged transgender class. But like many international movements that suddenly erupt on the global scene, the trans movement is not what it appears to be. It’s actually a well-orchestrated, well-funded, socially-engineered movement designed to, yes, destroy the concepts of sex and gender and generate widespread confusion. But it also is poised to usher us into the transhumanist era.

In this article I will show how transgenderism and transhumanism are in so many ways the same thing. Yes, transhumanist activists have been around for quite some time, but it’s never hit the main stage; it’s never had widespread recognition and awareness (much less support). But now with transgenderism, that’s all about to change. Of course, transhumanism is so huge it has other ‘feeder’ programs, some obvious, some covert, programs and technologies such as:

nanotechnology	genetic engineering	brain-computer interfaces
augmented reality	synthetic environments	gaming
Internet of Bodies	wearables	superheroes
robotics	GMO foods	automation
synthetic biology	digital twinning (avatars)	artificial intelligence
sex dolls	CRISPR	geo-engineering

But first, since transgenderism is all about the redefinition and redeployment of key words, let’s explore some.

AFAB and AMAB – ‘assigned female at birth’ and ‘assigned male at birth.’ Sex is now referred to as ‘gender assigned at birth.’ Sex is ‘assigned,’ that is, ascribed or designated at birth. It’s as if the assignment is tacked on, as if the ‘assignment’ is what creates the gender, that the gender did not and would not exist if the assignment had not been made. Use of the word ‘assignment’ should be a clue. It portends that, at some point in the future, the gender assignment may become optional or removed altogether. Parents or the state, may have the option to forgo the ‘assignment,’ in the belief that the gender ‘discovered’ by the child is the important and determining factor anyway. Until then ‘his’ (or ‘her’) sex would be ‘unassigned.’

Saying ‘gender assigned at birth,’ indicates that the assignment is temporary and contingent upon the gender being discovered and declared by the child itself. Saying that ‘gender is assigned at birth’ is saying that it’s been imposed, foisted, forced upon the oppressed child. In other words, parents really have no right to ‘assign’ gender at birth. Who are we to say what the child’s real gender is? Only the child knows that, or so they would say.

intersex – a person born with a difference of sexual development, which can manifest as unclear/underdeveloped or mixed sexual organs or secondary sexual characteristics. Intersex persons are still either male or female.[2]

sex and gender – Up until recently these two words have been used interchangeably and used as synonyms. But transgender ideology has separated and distinguished them and consequently confused them. Transgender ideology began decades ago with Alfred Kinsey and the promiscuity of the sexual revolution of the 1950s and 1960s that divorced sex from fertility and childbirth. What trans ideologues, like John Money, insist on is that sex refers to bodily attributes: genitalia, internal sex organs (e.g. uterus, ovaries), chromosomes, hormones, etc; and gender refers to the social and culturally-determined attributes. More specifically, trans ideologues separate gender into two concepts: gender expression and gender identity.

I will list the conventional definitions here:

gender identity – the personal sense of one’s own gender. (More on this below.)

gender expression – a person’s behavior, mannerisms, interests, and appearance that are associated with gender, specifically with the categories of femininity or masculinity. This also includes gender roles. These categories rely on stereotypes about gender.[3]

Although it is true that sex/gender can be expressed in a variety of ways, gender identity is the key concept that swings the pendulum. It is the concept that truly separates sex and gender and establishes gender as the determining factor. It allows you, as a man, to be a woman; or it allows you, as a woman, to be a man — literally. Trans activists insist on this point and expect its trans ‘victims’ renaming themselves and adopting new pronouns.

In gender ideology, sex is in the body, but gender is in the mind, so they say. And since the mind controls the body and your self is internal, not external, it’s the mind that really determines who you are. So never mind that you have a man’s body — that can change. The important thing, according to trans ideologues, is that, if you feel like a woman, think or act like a woman, or would rather be a woman, then you must be and are a woman — no drugs or surgery required. Or vice versa if you have a woman’s body.

So when trans activists say and insist on everyone seeing them as the opposite gender, and calling them by their new name and using their pronouns, they really mean it, (or at least they’re trying to or have been told enough that they’ve convinced themselves). Gender identity means just that, it is your true identity, not just how you’re choosing to express that gender.

On its face this is a grand delusion, and it would be bad enough if the delusion was limited to those who imagine themselves as the opposite sex/gender or neither. But it’s worse than that. Trans activists and gender ideologues believe that ALL OF US must go along with this delusion and affirm them. ALL of us have a ‘gender identity’ to discover. Our true gender is known only to us, and it’s simply been repressed by the ruling powers who have and continue to dominate humanity with their socially-constructed ‘gender binary.’ That then brings us to the final term to define:

gender binary – the classification of gender into two distinct, opposite forms of masculine and feminine, whether by social system, cultural belief, or both simultaneously.[4]

Curiously, notice that Wikipedia only mentions that the gender binary could stem from social systems or cultural belief, but does not mention that the gender binary could possibly be imprinted in our biology.

So what gender ideologists are saying is, the gender binary is a false choice. Think of it as a type of logical fallacy, namely false dilemma. If your only gender choices are male and female, if you must choose only one or the other, you’re likely to make an uninformed choice. And it’s an uninformed, bad choice for everyone because there is no gender binary. Instead, gender is said to be a continuum, a spectrum, with male and female at opposite poles and various levels and mixes of androgyny in the middle. So who’s to say what your true gender identity really is? It could be a (cis) male, but what if you’ve got some female. What do you call that?

To trans activists with gender abstracted from sex, simply choosing man or woman, male or female is like the absurdity of a thermostat where the only two settings are hot and cold.

Most of humanity, if they would be honest, would say that transgender people are deluded and deceived. But conversely, most, if not all transgender people, if they would be honest, would say the same for the rest of us: all of humanity is deluded. It’s a radical and pivotal belief system which goes to the heart of what it means to be human. And so now we get a glimpse of the connection to transhumanism and its grand entrance onto the world stage.

Transgenderism is Transhumanism

With the rollout of gender ideology across the world, we get a glimpse of how transhumanism, with all its facets, starts to make inroads to affect and influence people and cultures. It’s quite a stretch to think that transhumanism could be all that appealing. But then again, for most of us, it’s hard to imagine gender ideology being that appealing either, but yet apparently it is.

What then are the ways that transgenderism is like transhumanism? There are at least five ways.

Both transgenderism and transhumanism ideologies:

• Redefine humans
• Promote androgyny
• Express contempt and even hatred for organic bodies
• Experiment on people
• Promise a false salvation

1  Redefining humans

It’s obvious that transhumanists seek to redefine what it means to be human. After all the word ‘human’ is in the word itself. But how does transgenderism redefine humans? It’s very simple and should be obvious. Biological sex is at the core of what it means to be human. It’s the first thing said after birth: “It’s a boy!” or “It’s a girl!”

And of course, God created two kinds of humans: Adam and Eve, male and female.

So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” — Genesis 1:27–28

As I said earlier, gender ideologues try to get around the clarity of biological sex by divorcing it from the concept of ‘gender’ and making gender the independent, controlling factor in who you are. ‘Apparently,’ gender activists say, ‘everyone[5] is either male or female, but the real question is how much masculinity or how much femininity do you have (or not have), do you feel within yourself?’

And it’s true — in some ways we all have differing levels of masculine and feminine, however culturally that may be expressed. And if it was just a matter of ‘gender expression,’ that may not be so bad. But transgender activists don’t stop at gender expression; they demand that gender identity exist for everyone — all humans, so they say, possess a gender identity that may fall anywhere between the male and female poles. That gender is your identity.

It’s. Who. You. Are.

Thus transgender persons are defining humanity not on the clear binary of male and female, but on the endlessly variable spectrum of gender identity.

That means, if we all believed this ideology, relatively few would identify as pure male or female, at the far ends of the spectrum. So most would identify as androgynous — a ‘bell curve’ — neither male nor female, but some mixture of both.[6]

‘Okay,’ you say, ‘maybe trans people are trying to redefine humanity. So what!? What’s so wrong with that?’

To answer that, let’s go back and ask why God created two sexes in the first place. As soon as we ask that, it becomes perfectly obvious. But let’s go back again to the source:

So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it — Genesis 1:27–28a

To put it clinically: reproduction; to put it in terms of life: babies, children, family, generations, peoples.

And if we’re listening this should tell us something about both transgender and transhuman — they’re both designed to reduce fertility and reproduction and thus drive the eugenics goals of depopulation and the creation of human stratification.

2  Promoting androgyny

Androgyny is not a commonly-used word, so let’s be sure we understand it clearly.

androgyny — 1  The state of having traits of both male and female genders. 2  The state of appearing to be neither feminine nor masculine.

As I said earlier, because gender ideologues and activists promote the spectrum of gender identity, relatively few will identify as purely male or female; most will identify as somewhere in between, that is, somewhat androgynous — 50/50 or 40/60 or 30/70, etc, and choose a name and pronouns to support and express that identity. This essentially is the elimination of gender all together. The word gender assumes a specific male or female (or in grammar, neuter) person. But if gender is a spectrum, a continuum, that means no clear collections of attributes exist that could be thought of as ‘genders.’

That means we need to learn a new word. It’s a companion movement to introduce here: postgenderism.

From Wikipedia:

Postgenderism is a social, political and cultural movement which arose from the eroding of the cultural, psychological, and social role of gender, and an argument for why the erosion of binary gender will be liberatory.

Postgenderists argue that gender is an arbitrary and unnecessary limitation on human potential, and foresee the elimination of involuntary psychological gendering in the human species as a result of social and cultural designations and through the application of neurotechnology, biotechnology, and assistive reproductive technologies.[7]

Also from Wikipedia, postgenderism has its roots in transhumanism:

Postgenderism as a cultural phenomenon has roots in feminism, masculism, along with the androgyny, metrosexual/technosexual and transgender movements. However, it has been through the application of transhumanist philosophy that postgenderists have conceived the potential for actual morphological changes to the members of the human species and how future humans in a postgender society will reproduce. In this sense, it is an offshoot of transhumanism, posthumanism, and futurism.

In the 19th century, Russian philosopher Nikolay Chernyshevsky believed that “people will be happy when there will be neither women nor men”.

It should be no surprise that transgenderism and transhumanism both promote androgyny. Martine Rothblatt, lawyer, entrepreneur, and creator of SiriusXM Satellite Radio wrote The Apartheid of Sex in 1995 which had a formative influence on the transgender movement. In 2008 the popularity and influence of the book warranted an updated edition, in which he/she (Martine now identifies as female, perhaps also unsurprisingly) incorporated the concept of transhumanism. In his[8] preface to the second edition, Rothblatt immediately brought this out:

During the fifteen years since The Apartheid of Sex was published I’ve come to realize that choosing one’s gender is merely an important subset of choosing one’s form. By “form” I mean that which encloses our beingness – flesh for the life we are accustomed to, plastic for the robots of science fiction, mere data for the avatars taking over our computer screens. I came to this realization by understanding that 21st century software made it technologically possible to separate our minds from our bodies.[9]

Later in the first chapter of the second edition, Martine introduces a new human species: Persona Creatus. Here the separation of sex and gender crystallizes even further into a complete abstraction of mind from body. Yet the only way I know how to completely separate mind and body is to die.

The rise of transgenderism provides sociobiologists with evidence of a new species. An important part of most species’ signature is the characteristically gender dimorphic behaviors of their members. However, as noted above, thanks to culture and technology, humans are leaving those gender dimorphic behaviors behind as they come to appreciate the limitless uniqueness of their sexual identities. As our creativity has blossomed, we have matured from Homo sapiens into Persona creatus.

The greatest catapult for humanity into a new species lies just beyond the event horizon of transgenderism. Based upon our rapidly accelerating ability to imbue software with human personality, autonomy and self-awareness, a movement of “transhumanists” have joined transgenderists in calling for the launch of Persona creatus. The basic transhumanist concept is that a human need not have a flesh body, just as a woman need not have a real vagina. Humanness is in the mind, just as is sexual identity. As software becomes increasingly capable of thinking, acting and feeling like a human, it should be treated as a fellow human, and welcomed as a fellow member of the technological species Persona creatus.[10]

Can you hear the tone of his argument? it’s the tone of arrogance and contempt for the organic ‘flesh body’ and ‘gender dimorphic behaviors.’ It’s ironic that, through the publication of his books, Rothblatt has sparked the creation of another kind of apartheid: dirty organics should be separated from the inorganics! Does this sound familiar? We’ve already witnessed a small beginning of that apartheid in the ‘pandemic’ — the vaccinated must be separated from the unvaccinated. We’ll discuss this contempt for organics in the next section.

3  Expressing contempt for organic bodies

We’ve now officially entered the twilight zone.

You know it’s bad when you hear experts, doctors and scientists call for the mutilating of bodies, the amputation of healthy breasts, the castration of healthy testicles, the dispensing of hormone blockers to otherwise healthy children and cross-sex hormones to adolescents, and then label all this as gender affirming care.[11]

This is the ‘standard of care’ for adolescents who claim to suffer with gender dysphoria, many of whom are coached with scripted answers to invent stories of feeling they were born into the wrong body. They then threaten to commit suicide if they’re not prescribed puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones: estrogen for guys to become ‘women,’ and testosterone for girls to become ‘men.’ They’re caught up in the trans craze, fueled by social media platforms like Tumblr and Reddit. Most of them are teenage girls.

Abigail Shrier in her book, Irreversible Damage, the Transgender Craze Seducing our Daughters, clearly documents the shocking story of what she calls a ‘craze,’ an unprecedented social contagion. It is that, but it’s also much more.

From her book describing this phenomenon:

But the phenomenon sweeping teenage girls is different. It originates not in traditional gender dysphoria but in videos found on the internet. It represents mimicry inspired by internet gurus, a pledge taken with girlfriends — hands and breath held, eyes squeezed shut. For these girls, trans identification offers freedom from anxiety’s relentless pursuit; it satisfies the deepest need for acceptance, the thrill of transgression, the seductive lilt of belonging. . . . This is the story of the American family—decent, loving, hard-working and kind. It wants to do the right thing. But it finds itself set in a society that increasingly regards parents as obstacles, bigots, and dupes. We cheer as teenage girls with no history of dysphoria steep themselves in a radical gender ideology taught in school or found on the internet. Peer and therapists and teachers and internet heroes egg these girls on. But here, the cost of so much youthful indiscretion is not a piercing or tattoo. It’s closer to a pound of flesh.

Although it’s primarily adolescent girls that are caught in this trap, the boys are not immune, especially autistic boys. Stephan A Richards is one young man who suffers to this day because of decisions he made as a nineteen-year-old. Listen to his anguish as he describes his fear of becoming a man.

I was terrified of what testosterone was doing to me. I didn’t want to be a man. I didn’t want to be big and hairy. Men scared me. I’d seen my mom assaulted when I was young, and I didn’t want to be like the man who’d done that to her. The idea of testosterone poisoning made sense to me because maleness itself terrified me. I’d been bullied a lot in school by other boys, . . . This background made me vulnerable to the ideology of transgenderism. I had no friends in high school and spent a lot of time online, and I was exposed to the burgeoning social justice/woke movement before it entered the mainstream. When I connected to the internet, I was inundated with messages about the violence of maleness. This wasn’t just “toxic masculinity” — I saw feminists saying all masculinity was toxic, that all men were rapists, all men were oppressors, all men should be killed. As a white man, I was directly responsible for all of the oppression experienced by women and people of color. I was fourteen years old and had never been in a fight in my life or said a racist or misogynistic word to anyone, but I believed that the circumstances of my birth made me a monster. I wasn’t mentally mature enough to think critically about these ideas, or to take them as anything but literal fact. (Literal thinking is common among autistic people, and I would be diagnosed with autism a few years later.) I believed, all the way down to my core, that all men were evil and all women were unimpeachably virtuous. This was black-and-white thinking; it’s one of the reasons why so many autistic people are transitioning. I believed that my very existence was sinful.[12]

These stories are not random outliers, they’re mainstream, especially now because, as I said earlier, this is the standard of care for youths experiencing ‘gender dysphoria.’ But in the end what does it look like? It looks like contempt for the body and body mutilation. For many, the long-term effects of these drugs and surgeries result in a lifetime of suffering. Adolescents are rarely informed, much less warned of potential mental and medical consequences. And the adults in their lives, who should be protecting them, are absent, often cowed into acquiescence by their teen’s often hollow threats of suicide. Obviously, no threat of suicide should be taken lightly, but many of these threats are manipulative and not sincere.[13]

This contempt/carelessness for the body dovetails nicely into the transhumanist movement. It should be no secret that transhumanists believe in their salvation because of their contempt for the organic, natural body with its proneness to injury, pain, disease, and death. This is precisely what they want to transcend by body modification, implants, genetic modification, ‘smart’ drugs, etc. The body betrays us so we must act preemptively to overcome it, so they say.[14]

4  Experimenting on people (especially children)

I’ve already mentioned the widespread use of so-called ‘puberty blockers.’ These are prescribed as the standard of ‘gender affirming care’ for children experiencing ‘gender dysphoria.’ The problem is no one really knows what the long-term effects will be.

The drug Lupron is commonly used as a puberty blocker for both boys and girls and will arrest the production of testosterone in boys and estrogen in girls. Because of this, their bodies do not develop their sex-based characteristics. “Girls’ breasts won’t grow, their hips won’t get wider, sex organs won’t develop.” Boys’ voices won’t deepen, their height will be stunted, etc.[15] This drug has also been used as a means to chemically castrate pedophiles. Lupron is an example of gender affirming care being experimental. In the United States, the use of Lupron to block puberty is not approved by the FDA; it’s used off-label, thus it’s experimental. So are gender reassignment surgeries:

• vaginoplasty (construction of the vagina)
• feminizing augmentation mammoplasty
• orchiectomy (castration)
• facial feminization surgery
• reduction thyrochondroplasty (tracheal shave)
• voice feminization surgery
• phalloplasty (construction of the penis)
• penile inversion
• metoidioplasty (clitoris enlargement to appear as a penis)
• mastectomy (removal of the breasts)
• hysterectomy (removal of the uterus)
• bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries and Fallopian tubes)
• chest reconstruction (shaping of a male chest)
• chondrolaryngoplasty (Adam’s Apple reduction surgery)

In light of the long list of transhumanist feeder programs (see the introduction), I hardly need to describe the reality of experimentation among the transhumanist crowd. Transhumanism is by its nature experimental.

5  Promising false salvation

It’s clear that transhumanists believe that it’s only a matter of time before man finds a way to achieve immortality either through life-extension technologies: nanotech, genetics, or uploading our consciousness into the cloud. Either way this is the promise of the parallel false salvation that I’ve written about here.[16]

But it is a false promise. The hidden agenda is that these are mark of the beast technologies that are being used to enslave or destroy tens of millions of people. Transgenderism is a major ‘on-ramp’ to this ideology and is designed to ensnare millions of unsuspecting young people, all the while promising to make them whole.

First, gender activists promise that puberty blockers will give the child time discover whether he’s a he or a she (or an it); then, they’re promised (or it’s subtly expected among the trans crowd) that cross-sex hormones are the next big thing. Then ‘top surgery’ for girls, etc, etc. These children are pitifully strung along thinking that, ‘once I get [fill in the blank with next drug or surgery], I’ll be happy.’ But any achieved happiness is short lived.

Listen to another ‘detrans’ young woman describe the false promise of ‘social transition,’ drugs and surgery.

I remember browsing trans subreddits in hopes I would get some answers for what to do if transitioning wasn’t improving my mental health. There were many posts asking this question, and by far the most common answer was to “just keep going” and that one day, when you passed well enough, it would all be worth it. There were times when I sat back and questioned nearly every choice in my life, like the relationship I was in and moving to Chicago. I thought about how all these things I desperately jumped into thinking they would save me had not done anything of the sort. The only thing I didn’t outright question was my choice to be transgender. That would require a more up-front reality check . . .

Living life by delusion and going to such extreme lengths to chase a falsehood steer one away from true resolution of such natural human issues. Even if the testosterone itself hadn’t had such a damaging effect on my mind and my life, the very act of trans identity and transition was, for me, an act of immense self-harm.[17]

Helena and thousands others like her are told to ‘just keep going’ on the transition train in the hope of becoming (or ‘passing as’) a man or a woman. But the truth is, Helena and the thousands like her, would never become a man, a woman, or non-binary, not even close. This should be self-evident. It’s a fantasy, or more accurately, a nightmare and what many of those who detransition say the transition feels like — monstrous. Which is precisely what transhumanists become: beastly monsters.

Conclusion

Transhumanism is a multi-headed monster and transgenderism is one of its major heads. It’s one of the first, major, societal-wide deceptions that feed directly into a transhuman future.

Transgenderism is a global, well-funded, socially-engineered movement designed to convince you that black is white and white is black. Its militant, scorched-earth, take-no-prisoners posture and activism cannot be ignored and is meant to steamroll over you.

There is no compromise with gender ideology. As Christians we must understand what we’re dealing with. Trans is a seismic shift in the earth and surely portends that the technocratic tyranny needed to enforce it, cannot be far behind. Be prepared brothers and sisters! The goal is to make you — transition you — to NON-HUMAN!

So if you wonder if you’re experiencing ‘gender dysphoria’ or have been told the lies about gender identity —

 — STOP!

Run as fast as you can in the opposite direction. Read the stories of Helena Kershner and Steven Richards; read the detrans subreddit to get a clearer picture of what fresh hell transition really can be.

Your trans friends, if they really care, will listen to you without judgment if you’re questioning transitioning. But beware those who do not listen, who give you pat answers and blithely tell you to ‘just keep going.’

Do your own research; listen to both sides and make up you own mind; resist those who pressure to bully you. It will take courage to stand against the tsunami of the trans cults, both the gender and the human kind. The strength to resist this movement, this ‘craze,’ this social contagion, comes only from the living God and from the Savior Jesus Christ.

For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame—who set their mind on earthly things. For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself. — Philippians 3:18–21
