A Transgenic Note

Transgenic mutants are deliberately deformed, disabled and disordered for animal research purposes. We can create human-animal chimeras, put human DNA into every cell of a mouse, make cells glow green with jellyfish protein, just to be sure, but no amount of human DNA in a mouse will turn it into a human.

No matter how much that mouse thinks it might be able to identify with minute aspects of being human, it cannot. It will always be a mutant of a mouse, exploited for biotech gain. Humanized mice do not get human rights. 

Law and language for transgenic animals and other such biotech mutants is important and nomenclature is complex. The breeding, movement and welfare of animals under such procedures must be monitored and regulated for the welfare and integrity of both wild and lab lines. Law and language applies differently to animals outside of laboratories, for good reason. Transgenic mutants are covered by the basic animal welfare laws, but they also have ASPA (1986), that details exceptions and restrictions, due to their augmentation. 

I ran many experiments, some of it was groundbreaking research, what many do not know is that most scientists never see their own research in action, most never enter an animal lab themselves due to containment rules or their locations far from such labs, animal research assistants like me do it. What I ran and then witnessed was emailed as the results for the scientist to interpret. 

There is no line between male or female, between human or animal, between man or machine. Generalizations are necessary, but they are not the rule and they never have been. 

There is no such thing as supermouse, no matter what the tabloids say. Biotech is not the solution people dream in sci-fi movies and books, just take a look at real clones. There is always a trade-off. We live in an interdependent system, a planetary body - the body needs homeostasis, not more mutation.

Mind has no gender. It isn't even limited to your body. It can change with every moment or as a result of drugs, disease, environment and viral memetics etc. You can even lose it with amnesia and dementia - which must be horrific for the transgendered. 

To add (12/08/24), there are 3 main sex-based categories, one of which we still do not accept, each with their own sub-headings. There are the 2 poles required for human reproduction and the survival of our species, as well as all the variation in between:

1. Male and all their accepted variations
2. Female and all their accepted variations
3. Intersex and all their variations (diagnosed as a result of the accepted definitions of above)

The variation of intersex outside of the two poles (not within), that facilitates breeding, would be species divergence. 

You are born and will die, the same sex. No group can change their sex to become one of the others. However, as intersex individuals may not know their sex until adulthood, and because their biological sex may not be legally recognised, they may identify as male or female. Their sex remains intersex.

It would seem far more appropriate that those who opt for sex-based biotech mutation post-birth, are classified as a form of lab-created intersex mutation, as opposed to the naturally occurring sex-based mutations that develop before birth. This is closer to reality than the insanity we decided to run with. 

No matter what your mind or the media says, you cannot change your biological sex, age or species, no matter how many drugs or surgeries you have, no matter how much you pay the biotech companies or how much they pollute this planet to do it. 

You are born male, female or intersex (a natural and sometimes unnatural occurring mutation, present at birth) and there is no changing that. Disease knows what you are as much as other humans and animals. We are a very long way off being able to create such mutations in living children or adults with biotechnology, at a desire and a price. 

The only way humans can 'change sex' is through the perversion of law and language. It is gaslighting abuse and a form of GBH to deny the realities. We are altering law and language to create this fallacy of a transhuman reality.  

Transhumanism is about conditioning humanity to accept and develop the products, laws and language for our transhuman exploitation. It is in direct conflict with the notion of humanity and is about mutating humans with biotech into something 'other', just as with lab animals. 

If we are to augment humanity with transgenic, transfection and transgender technology in order to create transhumanity, we need law and language that protects the integrity and welfare of both. 

We need Welfare Guardians that protect the biotech augmented when it goes wrong or when they are exploited against their welfare, these things impact our entire species. Mice get welfare guardians, shouldn't our kids? 

If you're kids want to be lifelong biotech guinea pigs, let them decide at 21. They couldn't run for a government office until then, so why can they decided to be willing volunteers in the experimental augmentation of the human race?

Women birth humanity and are humanities (and currently transhumanities) most valuable asset, especially in a globally aging population. 

Trans rights are not Human rights, nor should they be, for the health and safety of all. Human rights must be protected, not augmented.
