In some ways, I think it’s because of transhumanism. The idea that “women can have penises” is an attack on protections that were designated for women because of their biology. If we are going into a future where we can “hack” our biology, are those protections even necessary?

There is such an obsession with the connection of humans and technology, it’s being referred to as the fourth industrial revolution.

Up until I became a born again Christian two years ago, following what I believe to be a supernatural, personalized experience from God to me, I was a lifelong transhumanist obsessed with lifespan extension (read all of Ray Kurzweil's books, took supplements/nootropics, restricted calories, etc.), human-machine augmentation, and the holy grail: immortality, achieved either technologically (brain uploading) or biologically ("curing" aging).

Transhumanism will be used to enslave the masses, and empower our overlords with god-like abilities. If you've played the video game Half-Life 2, think of something like every human being reduced to the form of a stalker: sexual organs removed, digestive system removed, lobotomized brain, basically a subservient slave with no free will or autonomy. Perhaps Elon Musk's Neuralink is the beginning of such a diabolical plan to enslave humanity?

Oh, and check out Nicholson1968, Nephtali 1981, and Face Like The Sun on YouTube. They're all critical of transhumanism and delve into it from a Christian perspective.

I am critical of transhumanism but I really don’t know what the exact purpose would be to having humanity enslaved. It seems like a lot of work for nothing, no? If you’re coming from the perspective of pro-transhumanism, is the appeal part of a religion or is it simply anti-Christ?

It's about control. These power-hungry psychopaths salivate at the thought of being able to control every aspect of your life. It's their fetish. Unfortunately for them, but fortunately for us, it's unsustainable and will eventually lead to a collapse and a reset. Humanity's struggle to be free is neverending. It's what we live and die for.
