Transgenderism and surrogacy are both products of what @jbportraits has identified as a corporate agenda “to colonise our sexed bodies.” The links between them are extensive. Both offer lucrative market opportunities for Big Pharma and private healthcare......1/5
These market opportunities are linked. Trans adults made infertile by cross-sex hormones and genital surgery will have absorbed the belief that bodies are there to be manipulated. This, and an attitude of entitlement, will boost the demand for surrogacy. 2/5
Both transgenderism and surrogacy need legal changes to facilitate their development. Both piggy back on progressive causes like equal marriage to achieve these changes - eg trans self-declaration in 2015 Ireland, and surrogacy law in 2020 Argentina. 3/5
Both transgenderism and surrogacy require body dissociation, and use reductionist language to objectify women (“menstruators”, “gestational carriers”). This reductionism is an essential building block for the transhumanist project to ‘improve’ human bodies. 4/5
Pursuit of the transhumanist vision depends on the development of techniques which can manipulate body parts and genes to fashion new bodies. Transgender clinics and surrogacy clinics are laboratories where those techniques are being pioneered. 5/5
