Staying human

My review of Jennifer Bilek's Transsexual Transgender Transhuman

Jennifer Bilek’s book, Transsexual Transgender Transhuman:  dispatches from the 11th hour, was published this month by Spinifex Press. I reviewed it on amazon.co.uk :

Staying human

Transsexual  Transgender Transhuman  brings to a wider audience Jennifer Bilek’s investigative journalism uncovering what the ‘trans’ phenomenon is actually about, and where it is leading.

This collection of articles, many taken from Bilek’s 11th hour blog, challenges the notion that Institutions which fought against women’s and gay rights are now extending human rights by actively promoting a corporate fiction of ‘gender identity’. ‘Trans’ as a category defies definition, but its acceptance distorts beyond recognition the meanings of sex, homosexuality, and heterosexuality. Bilek warns that this is indoctrinating us into a technological cult, and disconnecting us from the reality of our sexed bodies, and from nature itself.

Bilek’s meticulous research follows the money back from the organisations promoting ’trans’ rights to the rich white men funding them and seeking new profit opportunities from the multiplication of different identities. She traces how what started as an adult male sexual fetish morphed into the construction of synthetic sex identities from manipulated body parts, and is leading to a transhumanist dystopia where reproduction is artificial, life is extended, and humans become melded with machines. This, she shows, is not an organic development, but the deliberate outcome of an industry that requires acceptance of dissociation from our bodies as normal.  

The introduction, new to the book, provides important historical context. It traces the rapid descent from the optimism of Occupy Wall Street in 2011 to the nightmare current situation where society is being transformed “to obliterate the sex boundary toward a tech takeover of human reproduction, and eventually humanity itself.” 

Transsexual Transgender Transhuman is an essential guide to what underlies the corporate fiction that is ‘gender identity’. It’s also a call to action, to defend not only the safety and bodies of women and children, but humanity itself. It should be essential reading for anyone who values staying human.
