Do You Really Think We'll Have Genders in the Future?

If sex is the physical construct and gender is the social construct, seems reasonable to assume that both gender and transgenderism could disappear. One seems mostly like a reaction to the other and both may end up being cultural artifacts.<p>I think the physical construct still has many millennia of evolution to go before we might see it disappear.

This seems like a vision of the future not far from how people in the 1950s pictured 2000s.

For a lot of this stuff, I find it helps to separate the concept from the implementation: Imagine how different current debates over transgender stuff would be if it was an atomically-perfect and reversible transformation done by benevolent genie.<p>&gt; when I see futurists or transhumanists talk about a timeline where humans are uploaded or become cyborgs or whatever, and then they turn around and say stuff like “feminism is bad”, I am utterly baffled.<p>I think some of them really just want to live forever in a conventionally beautiful body with superpowers.<p>Sure, Chad Jockson III might temporarily transmit his mind at light speed to Alpha Centauri, but when he <i>gets</i> there he expects to re-inhabit a pretty-similar body.

Nope. All of our genitals will turn into vestigial organs, shrink and crawl back into our abdominal cavity. You will wear a tattoo on your forhead that designates your Societal Gender Classification (SGC).<p>All hail Hydra.
