I know what transhumanism is, but people who are not, for example, academics in a related field calling themselves a transhumanist makes no sense to me. Like, as a transhumanist, what do you do?

Are these people just identity-hungry fans of a genre of sci-fi? Are they saying we shouldn't work to solve societal problems because technology will do it for us? Do they just watch a lot of youtube videos about it?

    Personally I find the transhumanist movement to eugenicsy for my taste

    some stuf here is being described as transhumanist that I would call medicine and is not an example of someone no longer being human. If someone loses a hand they don't become less human because humanity is not stored in your body parts. If you get a transplant from a pig heart you remain a human.
