Beschreibung

This book engages critically with some of the major assumptions of prominent Transhumanists such as Nick Bostrom of Oxford University and Stefan Sorgner of John Cabot University at Rome. More broadly, questions concerning the complex relationships between society, technology, and ethics are widely explored. Important thinkers such as St. Augustine, Nietzsche, Bertrand Russell, and C. S. Lewis are enlisted to highlight and support the main arguments presented by the author. The book aims at a general readership interested in the current claims and possible outcomes of the Transhumanist and Posthumanist movement. It strikes a cautionary note about humanity's reliance on emerging technologies, particularly their potential to enhance and, eventually transform, human life span, cognition, and emotion.

    The Battle of the Alamo, fought in 1836, is one of the most iconic events in American history. Situated in the heart of modern-day Texas, the Alamo has come to symbolize sacrifice, courage, and defiance. To understand the significance of the battle, it is essential to first explore the events that led to this dramatic confrontation. The road to the Alamo was shaped by a series of political, social, and military tensions that spanned several years. 
    The conflict between Mexico and the growing population of Anglo settlers in Texas began with the Mexican War of Independence (1810-1821), which freed Mexico from Spanish rule. However, the new Mexican government struggled to control its vast northern territories, including Texas. In the early 1820s, Mexico encouraged settlement in Texas to help secure the region and promote economic development. Anglo settlers, many from the United States, flocked to Texas, hoping for fertile land and opportunities for growth. Over time, these settlers outnumbered the native Mexican population, and cultural tensions began to rise. 
    In 1829, Mexico, under President Vicente Guerrero, passed laws to curb slavery, which greatly alarmed many of the settlers who depended on slave labor. By the mid-1830s, tensions had escalated, as settlers pushed for greater autonomy from the central government in Mexico City, which they felt was increasingly distant and unresponsive to their needs. Meanwhile, Mexico’s leadership was determined to maintain control over Texas and prevent it from slipping into rebellion.

    Detransition - Beyond Before and...

    I experienced my transition as a form of resistance, but in reality it only affirmed the same stereotypes that had done me harm to begin with. Trying to prevent myself from committing suicide by becoming less recognizably female was an attempt at resistance that, politically, functioned in many ways as a form of capitulation.
    Many feminists are concerned about the way transgender ideology naturalizes patriarchal views of sex stereotypes, and encourages transition as a way of attempting to escape misogyny.
    In this brave and thoughtful book, Max Robinson goes beyond the ' before' and ' after' of the transition she underwent and takes us through the processes that led her, first, to transition in an attempt to get relief from her distress, and then to detransition as she discovered feminist thought and community.
    The author makes a case for a world in which all medical interventions for the purpose of assimilation are open to criticism. This book is a far-reaching discussion of women' s struggles to survive under patriarchy, which draws upon a legacy of radical and lesbian feminist ideas to arrive at conclusions. Robinson' s bold discussion of both transition and detransition is meant to provoke a much-needed conversation about who benefits from transgender medicine and who has to bear the hidden cost of these interventions.
    Transition is not an unconstrained choice when we are fast-tracked to medical intervention as if being female was a tumor that required immediate removal to save our lives.

    Love and kindness give life light; it is what we all lean on when the days seem unforgiving, but especially when everything is giving. We can't fully paint the feeling in words. This is because true happiness is infinite and has no bounds to be quantified in expressions. It comes from deep within and makes everything make sense in a way that is incomprehensible. Simply, it tries to wear the face and the heart of the person experiencing the emotion. That's all we can do: embrace it in its simplicity. This body of work tries to capture that simplicity in the simplest way possible, for hearts and souls.
