Extropians are a subset of the set of transhumanists. There are many
transhumanists who refuse to call themselves extropians, and while
strictly speaking you can refer to both sets by the word transhumanism
given the context it makes more sense to use "extropian or transhumanist".

Unity does not mean uniformity.
Overall, I found the tone of your post rather trollish, especially
given the message of cooperation Kathryn was conveying. Was it
deliberate?
