Human life is still fundamentally a biological concern
I wrote a little thing over at Butterflies and Wheels
Here’s a bit from something I wrote over at Butterflies and Wheels. Go read the rest over there!
Humans are mammals. Human life is ultimately the dominion of natural selection and sexual reproduction. It seems the more complicated human society becomes, the more we try to wrestle control away from the cold, hard facts of biology. In some ways we are beating the system: medicine, law, democracy, art, education… these are things that make being alive a lot more enjoyable to endure — for us humans at least. (We’re not making life very pleasant for the other species on the planet.) But human life is still fundamentally a biological concern, and sex is at the very core of our biology. We can do all sorts of things to make life more comfortable, but we can’t change the nature of life itself. You’re born a mix of your parents’ genes; you’re born one sex or the other; you reproduce based on the principles of genetics and sex; then you die. Hopefully you got to have a nice time and see a beautiful sunrise while you were alive. That’s what life is. Even if we wanted to change these fundamentals, we’re not going to get anywhere by making declarations and rounding up all the naysayers. If the gender cultists really want to unshackle themselves from the burdens of biological sex, I wish they’d go off and put their efforts into something like transhumanism, and leave the rest of us to live our lives in peace until they find a way to upload all our consciousnesses into their agender utopian Matrix.
