Would I support overthrowing the Saudi government?

Well, I am not a Saudi myself, and am a staunch supporter of
self-determination and non-interference principles against James Hughes's
ideas of enforced "global governance" mechanisms, but *were a genuine local
movement, say a women liberation front, to try and replace it with something
more suited to their taste, I suppose I could not help being sympathetic*.

Does this make me a "coercive transhumanist"?

And what does it have to do with forcing people to live longer than they
wish?
