Hmm, these sites/communities? are new to me, but isn't this just
people looking into alternative interfacing techniques? There have
been people playing with rfid and magnetic implants for atleast 14
years now, but 'trans' human? A magnet in your finger doesn't make you
less or more human then prosthetic would.

Are these serious groups? it sounds a lot like people dreaming about
flying cars a few decades a go. Sure there is an ethical/political
debate to be had/fought regarding body modifications, but does it
require a movement at this point? Or is it more about finding
like-minded people(that's how I see it)? And is this an 'US thing' or
international?

Genuinely curious...

(and yes for people doing interfaces, they have clunky websites ;)

Cheers,

w
