Transhumanism feelings 

It's interesting in a way how I have a preference for obviously manufactured/synthetic transhumanism.

Supposing we lived in a world where all sorts of body modification existed: genetic, mechanical, nanotechnology, whatever. I think I would personally prefer a body that makes it obvious I made it myself, or had constructed to suit my needs. Because that means my body's "unnaturalness" and manufactured nature is part of my self-definition upon reality, rather than an organic body that seemingly evolved and happened to fit me just right.

There may also be some aversion to the messiness of biology. It doesn't matter how much a genetically engineered body might fit me, perhaps too I would still feel put off by things that come with being organic. Maybe I would feel less this way if I was able-bodied, I dunno.

Then again, if I was able-bodied I would probably also not have endless fantasies over transhumanism. An opinions thereof over its direction under the lead of Silicon Valley types...
