"homosexuality is unnatural! there's only two genders! it's a sin-"

I'm sorry, have you seen NATURE???

and there's so many more species than this that exhibit homosexuality, varying genders, etc. SO! MANY!

it's very much a natural thing. it always has been. unfortunately, while homosexuality is found in many species, homophobia is only found in one

ALSO THE ARTIST IS HUMON, FIND THEM AT HUMONCOMICS.COM!! was so sure I had included that but apparently I forgot, so sorry!

most insane thing about this post is the comments section i forgot which app I was on until I read people arguing over the morals of bonobos

not that incels and the like aren't a problem but im tired of anytime anyone brings up men & systemic issues people responding with "um that doesn't mean they get to KILL PEOPLE????" yeah true. did you know other men exist and also deserve to be discussed. "who cares about male loneliness it's just an incel excuse–" whoaaaah crazy idea but what if by only talking about MRAs when the topic of men's issues comes up you actually help MRAs recruit vulnerable people because they appear to be the only group taking these issues seriously.

You might think that I'm joking when I say that we need cyborg rights to be codified into law, but I honestly think that, given the pace of development of medical implants and the rights issues raised by having proprietary technologies becoming part of a human body, I think that this is absolutely essential for bodily autonomy, disability rights, and human rights more generally. This has already become an issue, and it will only become a larger issue moving forwards.

No but seriously we need cyborg rights, in case you don't know how many people count as cyborgs here are some examples;

People with cochlear implants are cyborgs
People with pacemakers are cyborgs
People with insulin pumps are cyborgs

There are even edge cases revolving around how much electricity and integration into the body are necessary to make someone a cyborg.

People with replacement hips or other bones are by some definitions cyborgs
People with implanted medical devices such as artificial valves or stents are by some definitions cyborgs
People with prosthetic limbs are by some definitions cyborgs
People with ostomy bags are by some definitions cyborgs
People in wheel chairs, electric or not, are by some definitions cyborgs

The list could go on but I think I made my point that cyborgs are a lot more than just people with robot arms, they are the disabled deserving of the rights to the technology their lives literally depend on.

This is needed.

Earlier this year, a woman was forcibly deprived of a brain implant that was treating her epilepsy because the company that made the implant went bankrupt. Here's a link to one of several articles about it:

Doctors Forced To Remove Patient's Brain Implant After The Maker Went Bust

Her life was significantly improved by the device, then she received a termination letter.

This story happened back in the 2010s according to the first article but is still relevant. Also if my cochlears were repossessed by the company for some asinine reason I would literally stop being able to do 80% of the things I do and my future would be ruined. Cyborg rights are necessary and should have been codified decades ago
