      I don’t need to tag them as they aren’t likely to wander off and get lost.

      So the question of your genes changing into "someone else's" genes is completely meaningless, it's just more essentialism Your genes *change*, that's the only important thing

      You can develop cancers if that’s what you mean. Your telomeres will also shorten. You won’t change sex. I won’t wake up tomorrow and find I have no longer inherited mitochondria from my mother, and I’ll still be able to trace my paternal lineage through my Y chromosome.

      They'll be able to *guess* with a varying degree of accuracy what they can trace your ancestry back to based on how many mutations those genes have accrued over time, yes You keep stating things as absolutes that obviously aren't absolutes

      It is absolutely true that I inherited mitochondria from my mother. It is absolutely true that you will never change sex.

      You know even the thing about mitochondria is not "absolutely" true, right There's no enforced law that makes it that way, it's just that the ratio in size between an ovum and the head of a sperm makes it much more likely the mitochondria in the new human come from the mother

      This is literally all biology: It's a big ass collection of sorta-repeatable chemical and physical coincidences that we call life. And we live inside that giant sausage. Assigning importance to it is silly. Your childhood house isn't _you_, even if it did shape your past.

      You don’t ‘live in’ your body. Your body is you. You do not exist outside of biology. You are not independent of your biological substrate. You don’t outgrow your body like your childhood home and leave it behind, or, like most of Chu’s followers, move into the basement.

      Do you think aging is different? You get older and that's still you in there, hurting back and knees and all, still feeling like you're younger. Accept yourself as living in a meat sack and find enlightenment!

      I’ve never said I am anything other than a biological entity. Aging is part of that. I accept the limitations that biology imposed on me. I am not the one who thinks I can grow a womb.

      Your existence as a "biological entity" is the result of whatever fleeting chemical reactions you and the people around you decide matter There's no higher truth or essential identity, including any such thing "written in your DNA"

          If there is a higher "scientific" truth, it's that biological sex is not real, because selves are not real; "atoms & the void" and all that. And so we realize biology is already a social science, built upon and adaptable to social concerns.

          I think all these words spilled over whether or not we're "scientifically" (and therefore morally?) entitled to call me "dude" are actually about what kind of society we want. One looks for a society that critically harms me; another looks for a society that helps me thrive.
