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.
