Cultural appropriation wasn't enough for these characters.

Instead, they went with racial appropriation.

“I have used Blackness when it was not mine to use. I have asked for support and energy as a Black person. I have caused harm to the city, friends and the work that I held so dear.”

I wonder if something similar is occurring with the trans gender movement.
Gender appropriation.

do you mean like there may be some transgender people out there, like a woman to man transgender, but it's actually a real man, just pretending to get transgender clout?

I would not be surprised. Gender-fluidity and similarly low-effort options make it so that practically anybody can get an unconventional haircut and wardrobe, that being all they need to get that gender weirdo attention. If anything it's easier in transgenderism given how, unlike claiming to be a race, there is absolutely no biological requirement necessary for claiming that precious attention-giving transgender status.

IMO: The idea of appropriation has been a joke until recently.

Wearing a sombrero does not detract from mexican heritage. Anyone can buy a hat and wear it.

Publicly claiming to belong to another ethnic group or the opposite gender is crazy AF.

I have asked for support and energy as a Black person.

How does support for a black person differ from support for any other person?
My guess would be it's another rung on the ladder of guilt (but it's difficult to know for sure).

Trans people are literally asking for society to apply to them a different set of rules/expectations (bathroom access, clothing, mannerisms, etc.).

This identity politics garbage is disgraceful.
