yay larry. gregor you do find the funnies, were they having a joke!!
I certainly can't identify with this renaming of our movement - as ever everyone wants to lay a
claim on us to help reach their goal - with disabled peple there to provide the dramatic catalyst -
so this year its the pro lifers and now the transhumans.. always someone ready to describe us and
lay down the limits - and use our progress to underline their "other" point. aanyone got any idea
if many disabled people are actually a knowing part of the "transhuman" community or if they wrote
this new definition!?
isn't most of their point about "improving and enhancing" humanity - the opposite of what disabled
people are asking for - equality how/whoever we are or however we get by - the tools we use are to
gain our equal status not become extra-human or special.
hate to be so disregarding of anothers beliefs but arent transhumans peole who are just really
insecure about their bodies so they want robotic parts, or want to be controlling and superior -
unlike many of us disabled people - maybe they would just like to think we feel that way? cant see
what we've got in common!
