I have partial transhumanist inclination due to poor physical health. I do not think I am spiritually a cyborg or whatever. I will gladly replace broken flesh with cold steel.
And I agree with you. If I turn myself into a monstrosity, I should be reviled by pure men. I can't even promise a cool fight with lasers, but I accept that there should be some repercussion, and that it may be a net loss for both me and the people that come for me.
I am reminded of the lich of dnd fame. Dirty old wizard sacrifices his humanity for eternal life - similar tales are told in the past, but I don't have titles memorized. Liches are generally considered villains and ungodly evil beings in dnd, which is appropriate.
It just has to be that way. If you abide monsters, you inevitably accept them by your side. I'm sure the "transhumanist movement" will try to ease you into it because they want to have the reward without the cost.
