I recall reading, two or three times over some decades, Frederic Pohl's very short story "Day Million." It would be worth reading for this debate. The protagonist's niche is defined and planned by "benign" experts.
I have always had some reservations about ceding power to bureaucracies, and your essay on "Midwits" very well illuminates the hazard.
The discussion of the various forms of biological belief systems does not appear to include a recent explanation for evolution, the "Intelligent Design" theories.
If biological denialist are wrong, and sociological absolutists are right, transgenderism is not only justified, but mandatory (see: forced sexual reassignment in Iran for homosexuality). And since homosexuality and gender non-conformity (and by extension "inceldom" and asexuality) has been unveiled as mainly biological (see: digit ratio, female fecundity, life history, Peterson's "10%" statistic), the only wat out against transgenderism, is either the support of self-actualization against conservative norming and absolutism, or the return to mass-scale eugenics and population control. Either way, liberty, compassion, and tradition can only diverge from here. What can be done in this case?
