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.
