Replace ‘trans’ in trans woman with black or Asian or any other race and it’d be racist

It turns out neither black nor Asian women are men. They also don’t demand that I reorient my entire sexuality to revolve around them in ways that completely negate the biological, sexual, and social realities of being a lesbian.

These racist keep conflating being a woman of another race to being a male pretending to be a woman. They just need to fuck all the way off with that racist bullshit.

Agree. It’s super racist. It’s also the sexual equivalent of taking my petrol engine car to a diesel mechanic and bitching because she can’t fix it. I could whine and shout, “You wouldn’t say you can’t work on cars because they have a white or red paint job!” But, clumsily pretending a superficial feature is equivalent to the essence of the machine won’t magically make this mechanic be able to fix my car.

TRAs like comparing themselves to race only when it serves them and is convenient. Then when you question why a male can identify out of his sex but can’t be Korean, all of a sudden they’re totally different concepts with no relation and how dare you compare them. Even though race is MORE of a social construct than sex… In fact, he could literally become Korean through legal means.

that's what i don't get. you could have Japanese parents but if you were born and raised in Germany you would technically be considered German. yet, if you bring this up to TRA's that shout how you're an idot and that it's WAY more "complicated" than that, yet somehow a man growing out his hair and putting on a dress turns him into a woman. a few years ago a TRA woman tried to comparing dying your hair to transitioning saying "if you were born with brown hair but dye it blonde are you still a brunette? no, you're a blonde now just like a TW is now a woman!" and all i could think was "no, you will always be a burnette, you just dyed your hair, give it a month and your roots will show you"

if you were born with brown hair but dye it blonde are you still a brunette? no you’re a blonde now

This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. You’d still be a brunette. But, I guess this is an apt comparison for transwomen. You’ve only made a temporary cosmetic change, but absolutely nothing about how your body works changed. It doesn’t fool anyone long term. People can often tell by looking at you. And, if an archeologist ever digs up your body in a 1000 years, they can tell how you really were.

The genes that cause different hair colors also come with other traits as well. It's pretty interesting. Blonde women for example tend to have higher estrogen levels than other women.

So yeah, dyeing hair doesn't change the genes that cause that hair color.

Racist and homophobia in one little neat package.

So GLAD I nuked my reddit account.

120,000 karma points gone, but who cares?

It's meaningless.

Replace ‘trans’ in trans woman with black or Asian or any other race and it’d be racist

Except sexual orientation is based on BIOLOGICAL SEX. Attraction to men, women, or both. Everything ELSE that we find attractive (or unattractive for that matter) is just narrowing this down-- what kinds of men and/or women are our "type". That's where stuff like ethnicity comes in (if it does). So it's really not the same thing at all. If trans-cultists are claiming that it is, where are all the people who are attracted first and foremost to "race"? To "Asian", "black", etc.? And pay little or no attention to someone's sex?

A lesbian not being attracted to "trans women" is functionally the same as a lesbian not being attracted to men regardless of race-- whether he's Asian, black, white, or whatever, she won't be into him, BECAUSE HE'S A MAN. Man who "identifies as a woman"? Same thing.

Seriously, these gender-zealots make me so mad I could spit nails...
