What are some good arguments against transhumanism? Are there any GC scientists that are against transhumanism and say things like "transhumanism is impossible", "it's impossible to transplant female genitalia into a male", "it's impossible to transplant male genitalia into a female", etc?

There isn't any good arguments against it other than maybe the Ted Kaczynski manifesto (which goes against technology in general)

I recommend reading the vintologi bible.

As far as the "ease" of enabling pregnancy in a TIM patient, as an example, Marci Bowers' perspective is pretty realistic: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-a-transgender-woman-could-get-pregnant/

The "we thought x was impossible but now x is possible, you think y is impossible now but y will be possible in the future just like how x is possible now" argument I mean. I feel like it's a fallacy but I don't know what fallacy it is

I don't know which fallacy, either, but it's a fallacious presumption. We can send humans into orbit, but the laws of physics still apply.

Changing someone's sex at the genomic level is an interesting idea, but there are laws of biological genetic expression, and they still apply.

There's a difference between the visionary and the delusional. We're still operating within material reality here. It has limits.

Sure, like the moon landing will one day help us walk on the sun.

Probably not in your lifetime, and even if it is, probably unreachable for you specifically. Thus, it has no bearing on how we should live and make laws now.

Transhumanism blew me away when I first heard about it. You can't really "argue against it" if someone believes in it - but, uh, normal people think it's a bit freaky.
