Postgenderism, Transhumanism, and Cyberpunk Fiction

A future beyond the constraints of accidental binary gender assignments. A watchlist for postgenderism, which lives mostly in transhumanism and cyberpunk fiction.

A subgenre where gender identity and sexual preference is no longer the primary sorting mechanism.

Cinema where our capacity for intersubjective understanding and empathy are no longer limited by genetic lottery or decisions made without our permission before we were even alive.

Technology has freed humans of involuntary biological and psychological gendering. Arbitrary and unnecessary limitation on human potential has been lifted. Long live the new flesh.

Also worth reading Ursula K. Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness, Irene Clyde's Beatrice the Sixteenth and Warren Ellis' Transmetropolitan.
