It's not specifically transhumanist, but this is a technology that I
celebrate for its ability (at least claimed, yet to be established)
for reducing horrific abuse.
I found the following quote to be utterly bloody awful (I can only
hope it's exaggerated, but I fear not):
"it's estimated that 500,000 rapes are committed annually in South
Africa, and the likelihood of a young woman being sexually assaulted
is far greater than her learning how to read."
Apparently, the Rape-Axe can help:

Now this is an augmentation that has major, immediate effects in at
least some parts of the world.
