      yeah, from what i remember of watching the show, the resleeving process is fundamentally approached as a "terrible deviation from nature," i.e. a basically conservative viewpoint

      even that gives it too much credit I think. They don't even acknowledge the queer possibilities that would make reactionaries opposed the sleeving process. It's really used just as a plot gimmick.

      It doesn’t exactly do much w it, does it.? Where are trans ppl in this world? Are there gay ppl? How do ppl feel about coming back in cross gender bodies? Is there dysphoria?

      Why isn’t there gender dysphoria?

      He is, but it's probably more accurate to say it just never occurred to him because it's not something he's experienced, felt, or imagined for himself. With no emotional connection or understanding of the subject, why would he include it?

      It's just weird to write a book about body swapping and never think about gender. It's not like there's no precedent! The recent Jumanji films are even more willing to engage here than Altered Carbon is.

      It's *there* in Altered Carbon but it's dealt with only as "exceptions" The protagonist is put in a female body to torture him Lurid descriptions of brothels with people forced into "fetish" bodies The awkwardness of resurrecting a woman as a man for lack of choice

      It's typical science fiction tunnel vision, this refusal to really commit to the idea "If it's possible to do this thing all the time then people will do it all the time", transformative social change

          Like the people who used to argue that they can make the Internet as fancy as they want but it will still always just be a hobby for nerds *Normal* people would never, say, look for sex partners online, they'd have no need to

          right. it's just weird to see it in the cyberpunk subgenera since it's been more adventurous about this virtually since its inception. Delany was writing about this in the 70s, which is 50 years ago now.
