if i want to be a robot, or anything mechanical/digital adjacent, would this be considered transhuman, transspecies, or both? i just feel like i was destined to live in the internet, and was born in the wrong place.

    According to TransID.org, your identity would be under the transspecies umbrella. Here’s a link if you want to look into it more. Transhuman usually refers to a transspecies identity that centres on being a human in a transspecies way. Transhumanism is a philosophy that centres on people’s freedom to be able to choose to incorporate technology into their bodies or at least that’s how I define it.

      is there any version of the identity schizoprogram that isn’t related to schizophrenia? i don’t want to identify with something that is for something that i don’t have, but the “wanting to be a computer program” really resonates with me.

        I never heard a term for that specifically. But we can always coin it. Call it trans-program? That’s a pretty good name.
