    The history of science fiction has some telling examples of fantasists who started to think their fanciful visions were true.https://twitter.com/JasonSCampbell/status/1488898695806525450 …

        I have been informed by quite a few trans people that this is a very common argument by transphobes! I do wonder if it's simple linguistic confusion of "transgender" with "transhuman," but whatever the explanation, they hear it often!

        This sounds enormously appealing; would that it were true

        The clear implication of his comments is that Kirk sees women as less than human.

        Haphazardly throwing together transgender and transhuman, two completely different things, and seeing what sticks. This is probably the next big conspiracy theory.

        the long readings of early sci-fi in Lindqvist's A History of Bombing come to mind here

        On the other hand, more recent SF has been rather more accepting of things like trans-sexuality. For example, John Varley’s Eight Worlds stories and novels (ok, not exactly recent, but for old guys like me it is) where you’d switch sex type on the regular.
