So like, do we consider Deaf and HoH people with cochlear implants or hearing aids cyborgs? Maybe? If so, do we consider wheelchair users cyborgs? Crutches? Screen readers? Canes? All of these are technologies used to augment day to day living.
I know this isn't new, but it bothers me that the transhumanist movement is being co-opted by cis, able-bodied, neurotypical techbros.

@ThatVeryQuinn How about we just recognize "cyborg" as a nonbinary term? e.g. someone who uses a computer for most of their social interaction (<raises hand>) is one form of cyborg; someone with an artificial organ is another form. ...and we can pick various metrics by which to rate degrees of "cyborgness", but no particular metric is "the right one".
