It is, I think, even true that transhumanists who focus on *Post-humanity* --
instead of only on 'humanity' :-) -- will automatically want to move beyond
sexuality. I find it *very* hard to imagine that a 'Post-human' (that is, an
SI) will want to be trapped in pre-determined ''gender-roles''. A real SI
will want to move beyond those things.

Sexuality is obsolete.

( Or, at least, will *become* obsolete, in the most intelligent species living
in this galaxy. )
