he has a few good points about human's relationship with biotechnology and how it will affect us, but near the end he says this
Quotebegin pressuring the status quo and those government institutions who refuse to support and provide funding for the medical procedures needed for people to properly convey said identity.
which to me implies that tax dollars should be spent on people who say they identify as a cyborg and deserve to have cybernetic implants just because they feel like they should have them. i think the technology should only be available to those who need it (medical necessity) or can afford it.

and, eventually, i do think a majority of people in developed nations will be at least slightly 'cyborg' in the sense that biotechnology will affect our everyday lives and the gender identity 'cyborg' will make no sense anyway. for example, clinical trials for nanobots fighting cancer is happening right now. many scientists and technology experts believe nanobots will be a commonplace medical procedure in the next 10-15 years. if we all have nanobots inside of us constantly repairing our bodies, does that make us a cyborg? technically i think it does. does that make it a gender? i don't see how.

So being born makes you a rapist now, I'm fucking out. If you want me, I'll be playing insurgency and dating a tree in the mountains somewhere.

I've always assumed some of this stuff just comes with package.

i mentioned this on irc but i think i have to again - i think you're misunderstanding what they're implying. the baby is not the one being blamed in these articles, it's the people assisting the birth

QuoteLindsey is saying nothing about the baby, but about the treatment some women receive whilst birthing their babies, whether caesarean birth or not.

QuoteNow lets look at birth assault/rape. A vulnerable woman, who is powerless to leave the situation, is at times held down against her will, has strangers looking & touching at private parts of her body, perhaps without appropriate measures being taken to acknowledge her ownership of her body or to preserve her comfort levels. Perhaps she has fingers or instruments inserted without her consent, and sometimes against her consent, invading and crossing decent boundaries.  She is fearful of what is happening to her  and perhaps for the wellbeing of her baby, and receives no reassurance that either she or her child are ok. That is a violation, no matter how you look at it.

i'm sure there are people who think by birthing a male they are bringing a rapist in to the world, but it doesn't seem like 'birthrape' has anything to do with that.

still, i think it's insulting to actual rape victims to use a term like 'birthrape' to describe what they're talking about.

Flash

the problem of doctors mistreating women who are giving birth is real and serious and needs to be discussed. it's not a new thing, let alone an sjw craze.

but the term "birthrape" is stupid and clearly designed to attract sjw ire. I've never heard of women being sexually abused in that situation, so the term misrepresents a very real problem (uncaring doctors who mistreat the women, hurt them, force them to go through a caesarean, prohibit their partners from being present for no reason, etc). now we're gonna see a lot of posers angrily ranting about it for their own popularity.

and I agree with rtil, it's probably very insulting to some.

Are there not standards set for this kind of thing? I feel that if there is viable evidence on an individual case, then people could probably sue, or get some kind of recompense.

there was an example in the article
QuoteA case that's been frequently cited as a public example of this upsetting phenomenon is that of Catherine Skol, whose regular obstetrician was on vacation when she went into labor. The doctor who attended her birth performed a rough vaginal exam, refused her an epidural, told her she and her baby were both at risk of dying, and had a loud phone conversation in the room about abortion, according to her complaint. He said on the phone about another patient, "That stupid woman, she has no business being pregnant," and told Skol when she complained that "pain is the best teacher." (He was eventually fined $500 and given a year's probation.)

more of a slap on the wrist than anything, but still

slack

are there no other people present during labor? if my girlfriend was giving birth, i would not let any of this happen
