My whole thing is any transhumanist setting like this must *raise the issue* of trans people and most writers punk out on actually dealing with it

This is a world where you can literally just pick a new body to custom specifications Well then what do most people pick, and why do they pick it If 99% of all people pick a body with the same gender they were born with, why would they do that

TERF ideology has a problem here because if your contention is that in this world most people would want to pick bodies that match the gender they were assigned at birth then you're admitting to the existence of gender identity, i.e. most people are cis (and some are trans)

TERFism claims this is false, there is *no such thing* as gender identity, and sex is a brute fact of human biology imposed unwillingly on us all, with male anatomy automatically putting people in the position of oppressors and female anatomy the oppressed

Well, okay then In this universe, biology is escapable If being a woman is all about your DNA and it fundamentally sucks so much, anyone who wants to can just stop If the world worked the way TERFs say it does then the cyberpunk future would just have no women

This is, obviously, a disturbing image and one that TERFs don't want to confront So they generally just don't confront it

The talking points are that "real" medical transition is simply impossible, existing transition is just sad mutilation, and Altered Carbon resleeving is a delusional fantasy that by definition can never, ever happen and even thinking about it is a counterrevolutionary hazard

The same could be said of that Surorgates movie, in real life people would make some really weird shit.
