Literally freeze the sperm or eggs and bring them out when you want to make a baby with your DNA you actual neanderthal this tech is from the 50s it is not rocket science

And they say our language is regressing when in fact our language is increasing its information density
Based, frfr

What are you?

>>20463214
Oh shit
I didn't realize she'd written on the matter
Thanks for the heads-up

They'll never accept it while we know the truth
Teuly feels good

>>20462823
Read Judith Butler's work

>>20462263
Some humans have a predisposition to deferring to the opinions of others
Simple as

How does /sffg/ feel about the Imperial Radch/Ancillary series
For me it's decent mid, 7.5-8/10, transhumany and genderfucky but lacking in supporting cast character depth, imagery, and a slight hint of technobabble that leaves me wanting for at least a theory as to why certain technology works as it does in-universe

I don't really know what they mean by More Manly
All the actions necessary to appear more masculine physically are incredibly intuitive and the tales of manly men doing manly things are the deepest-ingrained within our narrative culture
Either they're severely stupid or they need to take and obey orders to feel confident in their actions which in itself is decidedly feminine

Have you posted that link in threads currently archived? If so, point me in that direction please
>>20462137
Tell us your goals, even the most lofty and absurd

>>20462120
I'm already en route
>>20462117
Please expound on coping as a fictional concept, this intrigues me
Also, that thread sounds neat and I think its perfectly valid linguistic discourse and there isn't a /ling/ board so it probably belongs here

>>20462079
Reasonable concern
Certain topics are bound to dominate conversation because they're more culturally relevant than others, and for this case in particular, it's particularly sullied because many people here, for some reason or another, don't approach the subject in good faith and as such do not draw nuanced conclusions from the arguments of those they are ideologically opposed to

A cope beyond measure
Deuteronomy explicitly argues against gender nonconformity in response to the presence of the cult of Ishtar and her descendants because too many people from the levant saw the inherent beauty of the Gala and could not resist their temptations
We are as old as written history and almost assuredly older than that

>>20461998
The universe is vast enough that it requires a similarly vast amount of words to be described

>>20461966
>these degenerate times
>wants to go back to an era where pederasty was the norm
Confusing

However long you can manage
If you seek to increase the length of time you read, set aside the time you need for this and slowly raise the time by small increments so you're neither overwhelmed or not absorbing the information

>>20461875
Its almost as if I either use closed off single-stall restrooms or the men's restrooms, I'd rather not be hate-crimed

>>20461843
This thread is already disrupted enough and I'd prefer for the conversation to stay focused on these larger topics at hand rather than
>should we kill the tranny, rape the tranny, rape and then kill the tranny or kill and then rape the tranny

>>20461832
This is the best board for this thread and it should be considered a general thread
>>20461823
The future is coming for you specifically, old man
Gene editing and biotechnology industries are some of the fastest growing on Earth and humanity at large is swiftly approaching the point where we can shape the vessels that are our bodies as we see fit to satisfy our psyches
You can always quit now if you want :3c

>tfw the worst thing someone can say about your head is that your hair is funny
Feels good, feels comforting and such

>>20461807
Welcome to literature lmao

>>20461803
Do you think that sex will always be immutable?
To answer your amputation question, I think SRS is at least an attempt to create a meaningful organ to have sex with where as there's no functional reason to amputate the arm of someone who wants it amputated
>but it's not a real vagina and they won't be real women with their neovagina
Agreed

Do it for me please I am overencumbered with the immense weight of knowledge being placed upon my puny estrogenized mutilated muscles and bones
