Geeeesh! Cyborg? "unnaturalness"! Do these people have any
clue at all! How DARE thy lump transsexuality in like that!
My dictionary defines cyborg as a human modified with
artificial organs or body parts. I can certainly see trans
people who have made use of medical technology falling
within that definition, as well as the many people who rely
on technology to augment or correct vision, hearing,
pulmonary, cardiac, or other functions of their birth body.
Access to such technology is most certainly dependent on race
and class. Sounds like an interesting area to explore.
Cyborgs of the world, unite!
Forget the past, secure the present, look to the future!
