Physical bodies should come standard with modification sliders and optional components.

We can currently replace malfunctioning organs from donors or with manufactured devices (there are of course complications, but the practices are known and routine in some cases). When someone receives a donor kidney or something, we don't shame them for only being a partial person or defective. (Well... ok, there are some that do shame folks with disabilities, but those people suck)

So why do we do this stupid shaming thing for someone's mental or spiritual states? (Not at ALL implying that said states are broken to begin with, only that they are deviations from the statistical norm, which is sometimes a good thing IMHO)

We receive psychological scratches and dents all throughout our upbringing. There shouldn't be any shaming in how folks have adapted to cope and surpass those damages... but here we are... the early years of the new millennium, and folks still treating thems that are different as if they carried the plague.

We should be able to change how we appear to align with who we are. If that were an open possibility to everyone, then outward appearances would be far less critically significant... which is what I believe should be the point.

What we look like (ethnicity, gender, race, etc) should not determine how we are treated. Being different from 'the usual' should not designate us as a sideshow attraction.

Existing should never feel like a punishment. No one should ever grow up with that baggage on their backs.
