They also can't explain any distinction or boundary between what's an acceptable identification and what isn't. For example, if I'm 48, but identify as 24, who's to say that's not true? If I look human, but identify as a cat, why can't I be treated at the local vet? If I appear white, but identify as black . . . well, we all know how that goes.

They say you're just being an asshole when you bring up examples like that, but, in the end, what is the distinction that makes one assertion acceptable and another unacceptable? They won't admit it, but the answer is always: Because I said so.

Right? I don't understand why being trans-gender is ok, but trans-age or trans-racial is unacceptable, and no one has been able to explain to me why that is. If a random dude can feel like a woman, a random white guy should be allowed to feel black, I literally see no difference

I can't remember the name, but a woman in Philosophy (I think) wrote and published a paper analyzing being transgender vs. transracial and concluded that it would make more sense for people to claim being transracial because many people are of mixed race. Sex is binary, race isn't.

But she got a boatload of shit for it, and I think the academic journal that published it had to issue a statement saying that they didn't support her conclusion.

Anyone have the reference?

In April 2017, a young, American, philosophy asst. professor, Rebecca Tuvel, wrote a peer-reviewed article called "In Defense of Transracialism" for the feminist philosophy journal Hypatia.

Tuvel compared the situation of Caitlyn Bruce Jenner, our fave lady daddy, to that of Rachel Dolezal, a white woman who identifies as black. Tuvel argued that since we should accept transgender individuals' decisions to change sexes, we should also accept transracial individuals' decisions to change races.

Then all hell broke loose, with trans activists and their flying monkeys, including academics, demanding that Tuvel be burned at the figurative stake.

The whole episode illustrated (to anyone sane) the lack of anything approaching logic in gender ideology.

There is an entire subreddit poking fun at people who try to pass as another race. It's called r/Blackfishing.

It's ridiculous because race is a spectrum - the US or Brazil or? is vibrant proof of that.

Yaniv likes to “identify” as younger too.

It's like the people who inironically identify as an attack helicopter to be ironic because of the people who ironically identified as an attack helicopter to point out how stupid this all is. They're proving that they're acting stupid by literally doing what people say they'd do BECAUSE PEOPLE SAID THEY'D DO IT in some futile attempt to legitimize themselves

You could take essentially any physical characteristic and try to bifurcate the physical reality and the psychology around the physical reality and do the same thing that trans people do. Utilize language to obfuscate our understanding of and ability to discuss the material reality and you'll be following the same playbook.
