Cis people look at bodies in cyberpunk settings as tools. Real queers, the real punks, look at those bodies as canvases for art. You can mod yourself to be anything and all you think of is getting a gun in your arm?
"ooh you got a gun, go kill something already." meanwhile i'm getting a tail so i never lose my balance again
Me with longtime chronic joint and muscle problems fantasizing about accessible modular joints.
cis people transhumanist trying to think of a way of answering this without "not all cis people"-ing it's not working is it imo gender is all but meaningless in a fully realized cyberpunk setting. I think that's cool as shit. idk why you'd be scared of it, well I can take a guess: insecurities
I mean, I can hold a gun just fine already. Why would anyone want cybernetics for something that boring?
If I'm gonna get those funky extendable arm blades, I'm also gonna make them bright pink so I'll be the prettiest little orchid mantis
If body augs were a thing, I'd probably have swappable penises for each of my sonas/theriotypes, & that's probably the least weird thing I'd want.
But what if both.
Oh look a thread made for me. My Cyberpunk OC is 1) Trans 2) a dog girl with like 60% fur coverage including a ruff, a big hecking tail and BEEEEEEEEEEANS 3) Her only non-meat mods are her eyes because her vision sucked and they do cute emoji things. And it's all just with stuff out of the books.
Cyberpsychosis as a concept is transphobic AND transhumanphobic. Change my mind. (You can't it's a stupid game mechanic from the TTRPG space because they couldn't think of a better way to balance magic and augs in Shadowrun.)
