I only picked it because I think people should be wary of changing morphs and exercise restraint, and really think about the epistemological considerations of using backups and resleeving. I don't want to come across as a bigot.

I think anti-transhumanism
I think anti-transhumanism/anti-backups,anti-resleeving would be like any other sort of moral/political philosophy, capable of nuance and not requiring bigotry, but like any philosophy, there will be bad apples who make the rest of the clade look bad.
There may be some anti-infolife and anti-uplift sentiments tied up with it, which would be kind of troubling to espouse, denying them personhood, but I am not sure if that is a necessary component of "Only Human."

English is fun that way
Honestly I had just assumed it meant the person liked playing human characters. I guess it could easily mean very different things to different people or in different contexts though.
Though using it to represent an opposition to resleeving implies an assumption that everyone was born human. :p

Any ideology that is sufficiently fringe is likely to be mistaken as either fiction or madness, and those assumptions are without occasional merit.
Mostly what I wanted to know was if it were already mentioned in one of the books, as I might have skipped over it while reading about the Jovians or something.
