it makes no sense that TRAs invalidate the transracial argument because gender isn't biological. what happened to the female brain in a male body? isn't that about biology?

the thing TRAs love the most in the world is colonizing language. AMAB and AFAB are terms used by the intersex community to define the violence intersex babies suffer when doctors assign them male or female based not on their biological sex (which, although ambiguous, is binary), but on their own standards (a boy with a small penis is assigned female at birth, which means his penis is removed and he'll be raised as a girl).

another argument i've seen is "well, it's not the same thing. you don't see transracial people as much as you see trans poeple. trans gender/trans sexual people have existed since ever, it's a thing. transracial isn't". i think thereare two reasons for that:

• no one really cares about women. the black movement has men and women in it, but feminism is about women. gay spaces aren't as colonized by "gay trans men" as lesbian spaces are by "lesbian trans women". it's very clear to me that if a social movement has no men in it, no one takes it seriously.
• femininity is performative aand it is in and of itself a fetish. it is a male fantasy. of course there are some elements that some women enjoy, but that doesn't mean such elements are inherently feminine. both men and women have feminine and masculine traits. society sees men as the standard human being and women as this forced fetishized thing that needs high maintenance. now if you look at race, blackness isn't performative or a fetish. it might be in some contexts (like porn or when there is cultural appropriation), but it isn't in itself a fetish. it's not something people need to work hard to achieve. black people are born black and that's it. they don'tneed to "act black" to be accepted as black. and if someone who's not black tries to emulate black people, it's blackface, it's disrespectful (and it is recognized as such by TRAs). now if a man tried to emulate women through stereotypes, it's not considered offensive to women. it's funny and entertaining (drag), brave and beautiful (trans) - again, i'm talking about TRAs. anyone who doesn't follow gender norms is subject to discrimination by society in general.

i might be wrong, but that is my perception of things.
