Ep. 1331 – The Transgender Movement Is Morphing Into The Transhumanist Movement And The Results Are Horrific – The Daily Wire

The Matt Walsh ShowMar 22, 2024

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, a WPATH-certified medical professional suggests that "gender confirmation surgery" should include making "creative genitals" that don't resemble anything that belongs on the human body. This is the kind of horror that was always inevitable, as the transgender movement rapidly becomes the transhumanist movement. Also, rowdy mobs of illegals are now forcibly pushing through the border. The family of the teenage girl who knocked her classmate unconscious and slammed her head into the pavement now say that the attacker is the real victim in the case. And Drew Barrymore declares that after three divorces she feels "totally liberated."

The Transgender Movement Is Morphing Into The Transhumanist Movement And The Results Are Horrific – The Daily Wire

Its been more than two weeks since the WPATH files demonstrated very clearly that so-called transgender medicine is the single most unethical and barbaric practice that the medical industry has ever endorsed.

Its a coordinated effort to permanently destroy the bodies of thousands of young children. The doctors who are involved in this butchery understand very well that children cannot consent to permanent sterilization and amputation. Theyve said it on tape, as the WPATH files prove, and yet, despite these revelations, no major hospital has announced that theyre cutting ties with WPATH. In fact, they havent responded to the WPATH files at all.

Instead, as of today, hospitals like UCLA and Massachusetts General proudly declare on their websites that they carefully follow WPATHs so-called standards of care as they castrate their underage patients.

What this means is that the medical industry is all-in on WPATH. Hospitals and medical associations arent going to disassociate with these quacks, at least not until theyre forced to.

They simply dont care about the fact that theyre ruining the lives of children who cant provide informed consent. In practical terms, for now, this means that some of the most disturbed and ideologically driven deviants on the planet the experts at WPATH will continue to write the book on so-called trans medicine. They have free rein.

So its worth taking a closer look at who exactly these experts are, since no one else in the medical establishment is interested in doing so. As Genspect highlighted this week, one of these experts is a New York psychotherapist using the name Laura Jacobs. On his website, Jacobs proudly lists his affiliation with WPATH, including his work on formulating WPATHs standards of care.

Reduxx looked further into Laura Jacobs background. They found that he quote, influenced the development of transgender health guidelines regarding gender dysphoria in adolescents [and] previously contributed a chapter to an anthology in which he promotes BDSM practices, including age play and genital torture.

Apparently, this is the kind of resume that qualifies a man to become a WPATH-certified expert, and to come up with the highly permissive criteria that doctors use in order to castrate children all over the country.

And yet, if you look a little closer, this guy is somehow even weirder and more unsettling than his bio would suggest.

This is a video that was found by a researcher named Jonny Bell. Its from a TedX talk that Jacobs delivered a couple of years ago. Watch as Laura Jacobs begins by explaining his own gender identity:

Theres more to this clip, but its important to stop there and highlight the complete and total incoherence of what you just heard. WPATH-certified medical professional Laura Jacobs says he likes to play with gender, which means hes gender-queer. He says he feels female and male. He also feels both and neither, at the same time. He says that various labels feel equally authentic and inauthentic.

Its hard to think of a better illustration of the way trans activists can string sentences together that mean absolutely nothing. Its a characteristic that every single trans activist has in common, without fail.

They advance their ideas not by convincing anyone, but by confusing them.

Authenticity is the opposite of inauthenticity. Male is the opposite of female. If you think something can be two mutually incompatible things at the same exact time, then you are extremely confused on every conceivable level.

This is no different from saying that someone can be a bachelor and married at the same time, or that a square can be a square while equally being a circle. Its the definition of nonsense. And this is how gender ideology is promoted. Not with arguments or explanations, but with an avalanche of pure, unbridled nonsense, that, the ideologues hope, will distract and confuse you so much that you throw up your hands and agree with whatever crap theyre spewing. And here Im assuming that Jacobs knows hes saying a bunch of nonsensical drivel. If he thinks that it actually makes sense then instead of working on the medical standards that every major hospital follows, these 30 seconds are strong evidence that Laura Jacobs should probably seek some help himself.

Although what comes next is even better evidence of that last point.

Laura Jacobs doesnt stop there. Narcissists never admit defeat, even when their own arguments are self-defeating. Instead, Jacob launches into an extremely creepy transhumanist monologue. As you watch this, keep in mind, again, that this is a representative for WPATH, which every major medical organization and hospital currently pretends is a legitimate authority. Watch:

Do we have to stick to penis & vagina norms? asks Jacobs. Can we have genitalia that look like flowers or abstract sculpture? Can we have multiple? Can they be interchangeable? And what about other areas of the body?

This is body-horror at its most deranged. If a filmmaker made a horror movie where people were walking around with genitals that looks like abstract sculptures, Id think that filmmaker was a deranged creep. But Jacobs wants to do this in real life.

Once you get past the raw, human disgust that you feel listening to someone talk like this, you begin to recognize that it was inevitable that wed get to this point. Transgenderism the belief that people can change their gender has always had a lot in common with transhumanism, which involves the use of technology to alter the human condition. It was unavoidable that the two ideologies would converge, as they are really the same ideology dimensions of the same basic idea. Both transgenderism and transhumanism are grounded in a rejection of both the classical and Christian traditions of human nature. They want to make human beings gods over themselves, over their own nature.

Transgenderism and transhumanism have more in common with Machiavelli, who taught that the only truth is effectual truth meaning, what you can control. There is no transcendent authority in this understanding. Humans are their own gods. That is the essence of transgenderism, and now its coming to the forefront. More and more, people identifying as transgender are admitting that theyre not really receiving medical care or anything like that. That was always a lie one that WPATH was founded in order to spread. Now were seeing so-called transgender individuals coming right out and admitting that their real goal is to embrace transhumanism. They dont just want to change genders; they want to redesign their entire body. They dont want to resemble men or women; they want to carve up their body parts into starfish and flowers.

Its not just one WPATH quack whos pushing this, as disturbing as that would be. The child psychologist Elliot Kaminetzky recently noted that the popular website Healthline recommends that visitors talk to a surgeon if theyre interested in splitting their penis in half, or creating other various designs out of their genitalia. There are various diagrams on Heathlines website that are too graphic to share. This is supposedly a leading website that people turn to for medical information. Like WPATH, theyre trying to normalize genital mutilation, not in the name of transgenderism, but in the name of transhumanism.

Spend some time on social media, and youll find this idea is catching on. Heres a few clips from an upcoming documentary on this topic. Listen to how young people are talking about transgenderism and how they perceive themselves:

There was always a contradiction between transgenderism and Christianity. And now a lot of trans activists are making that contradiction explicit. Theyre denying that man was made in Gods likeness, which is obviously a biblical teaching, and instead, theyre equating man with various inert objects, like wheat and grapes. Which means the whole pretense of transgender medicine is long gone. Were entering into blasphemous, cultish territory here, and theyre basically admitting it. And again, this is a rapidly growing segment of the so-called trans community thats talking like this.

Go on YouTube, and youll find an assortment of demented videos about so-called trans people who think theyve transformed into lizards and dragons. And they have millions of views. Here are just two of them:

The upshot of all this insanity, again, is that the veneer of transgenderism as some kind of serious medical discipline is fading, and its fading very quickly. Weve seen how trans activists claim to be preoccupied with gender-affirming care and freedom, but in many cases, its really a trojan horse for the weirdest and most unhinged excesses of transhumanism.

And make no mistake about it top hospitals in the country endorse this. Until they disavow WPATH and the freak shows like Laura Jacobs who work with them, then theres really no other conclusion we can draw. Increasingly, transgenderism is explicitly about mutilation and body modification in order to achieve some sort of godlike status. And its very clear that these ghouls will sacrifice many more children on their quest for divinity, unless and until theyre finally destroyed for good.

Transhumanism: billionaires want to use tech to enhance our abilities the outcomes could change what it means to … – The Conversation

Many prominent people in the tech industry have talked about the increasing convergence between humans and machines in coming decades. For example, Elon Musk has reportedly said he wants humans to merge with AI to achieve a symbiosis with artificial intelligence.

His company Neuralink aims to facilitate this convergence so that humans wont be left behind as technology advances in the future. While people with disabilities would be near-term recipients of these innovations, some believe technologies like this could be used to enhance abilities in everyone.

These aims are inspired by an idea called transhumanism, the belief that we should use science and technology to radically enhance human capabilities and seek to direct our own evolutionary path. Disease, aging and death are all realities transhumanists wish to end, alongside dramatically increasing our cognitive, emotional and physical capacities.

Transhumanists often advocate for the three supers of superintelligence, superlongevity and superhappiness, the last referring to ways of achieving lasting happiness. There are many different views among the transhumanist community of what our ongoing evolution should look like.

For example, some advocate uploading the mind into digital form and settling the cosmos. Others think we should remain organic beings but rewire or upgrade our biology through genetic engineering and other methods. A future of designer babies, artificial wombs and anti-aging therapies appeal to these thinkers.

This may all sound futuristic and fantastical, but rapid developments in artificial intelligence (AI) and synthetic biology have led some to argue we are on the cusp of creating such possibilities.

Tech billionaires are among the biggest promoters of transhumanist thinking. It is not hard to understand why: they could be the central protagonists in the most important moment in history.

Creating so-called artificial general intelligence (AGI) that is, an AI system that can do all the cognitive tasks a human can do and more is a current focus within Silicon Valley. AGI is seen as vital to enabling us to take on the God-like role of designing our own evolutionary futures.

That is why companies like OpenAI, DeepMind and Anthropic are racing towards the development of AGI, despite some experts warning that it could lead to human extinction.

In the short term, the promises and the perils are probably overstated. After all, these companies have a lot to gain by making us think they are on the verge of engineering a divine power that can create utopia or destroy the world. Meanwhile, AI has played a role in fuelling our polarised political landscape, with disinformation and more complex forms of manipulation made more effective by generative AI.

Indeed, AI systems are already causing many other forms of social and environmental harm. AI companies rarely wish to address these harms though. If they can make governments focus on long-term potential safety issues relating to possible existential risks instead of actual social and environmental injustices, they stand to benefit from the resulting regulatory framework.

But if we lack the capacity and determination to address these real world harms, its hard to believe that we will be able to mitigate larger-scale risks that AI may hypothetically enable. If there really is a threat that AGI could pose an existential risk, for example, everyone would shoulder that cost, but the profits would be very much private.

This issue within AI development can be seen as a microcosm of why the wider transhumanist imagination may appeal to billionaire elites in an age of multiple crises. It speaks to the refusal to engage in grounded ethics, injustices and challenges and offers a grandiose narrative of a resplendent future to distract from the current moment.

Our misuse of the planets resources has set in train a sixth mass extinction of species and a climate crisis. In addition, ongoing wars with increasingly potent weapons remain a part of our technological evolution.

Theres also the pressing question of whose future will be transhuman. We currently live in a very unequal world. Transhumanism, if developed in anything like our existing context, is likely to greatly increase inequality, and may have catastrophic consequences for the majority of humans.

Perhaps transhumanism itself is a symptom of the kind of thinking that has created our parlous social reality. It is a narrative that encourages us to hit the gas, expropriate nature even more, keep growing and not look back at the devastation in the rear-view mirror.

If were really on the verge of creating an enhanced version of humanity, we should start to ask some big questions about what being human should mean, and therefore what an enhancement of humanity should entail.

If the human is an aspiring God, then it lays claim to dominion over nature and the body, making all amenable to its desires. But if the human is an animal embedded in complex relations with other species and nature at large, then enhancement is contingent on the health and sustainability of its relations.

If the human is conceived of as an environmental threat, then enhancement is surely that which redirects its exploitative lifeways. Perhaps becoming more-than-human should constitute a much more responsible humanity.

One that shows compassion to and awareness of other forms of life in this rich and wondrous planet. That would be preferable to colonising and extending ourselves, with great hubris, at the expense of everything, and everyone, else.

The Transhuman Revolution: What it is and How to Prepare for its Arrival

Likewise, its no surprise that armies around the world are eager to lead the way into the new frontier of transhumanism, generals and war leaders have always sought any means to give their army the upper hand over an opponent.

The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has come right out and said that humans [were] the weakest link in defense systems. Some examples of DARPAs research into transhumanist technologies include allowing humans to convert plant matter to glucose, threat detection through optical implants, and even a way for humans to cling to the surface of a flat wall the way lizards do.

As computer technologies advance alongside biotechnologies, there is a growing convergence between the two in the form of neural interfaces that in the future can open the door to linking your mind directly to an AI in order to facilitate greater learning, overcome neurological conditions, or just to use the internet.

In the coming decades, as more advanced computer technologies continue to shrink in size, its not out of the question that brain implants, linked to an AI, might be possible. In fact, DARPA has already started research along these lines.

Without question, these examples of transhumanism point to one of the essential questions every student or teacher of philosophy has grappled with: what does it mean to be human?

Evolution gave us the brain which has given us technologies such as flint tools, the wheel, and clothing that enabled us to extend ourselves past our biological limitations. Is an artificial eye any different? Are we any less human for using an arrow to kill a deer rather than our bare hands? Who gets to decide?

Some critics argue that the two positions transhumanists propose, rejecting human enhancement through augmentation and implants entirely or wholeheartedly embracing everything the transhumanist movement represents is a false dichotomy.

Writing in Psychology Today, Dr. Massimo Pigliucci, a Professor of Philosophy at the University of New York-Lehman College, believes that there is a necessary discussion society must have before we introduceor even think of developingsuch technologies: it is perfectly acceptable indeed necessary for individuals and society to have a thorough discussion about what limits are or are not acceptable when it comes to the ethical issues raised by the use of technologies.
