Exactly, evolution doesn't have steps, it's a gradient, if you want to know when trans-humanism will """START""" it already has you blind idiot.

People like pic related are becoming more and more of a common, and in only a decades time the prosthetic will be so advanced that people will begin to opt for elective amputation and transplantation of them, the legality of this is already being discussed.

Asking when trans-humanism will start is like asking when we will live in a cyberpunk world when we already have devices smaller than a sandwich in our pocket that can bring you the collective sum of human knowledge with a couple of taps, a digital decentralized crypto-currency, hackers making news every week, and robots being built to fight wars.

Stop looking at your feet and pay attention. We are in the midst of it.

I'm a closeted tranny faggot. How long until we have a better way to sculpt bodies than hormones and some light plastic surgery? While effective for some it won't be enough for me. Given the advances in bionic prosthetics I imagine that going cyborg might be feasible in a decade or two but that's not exactly the same. Plus it is bound to cost a ridiculous amount of cash. That one arm prosthetic I read about on Ars Technica cost 200k by itself. Any other options?

Please keep this thread grounded in what might be possible according to current science rather than far off hypothetical scenarios like nanite reconstruction.
