His question was a good question, but rather than answer it people would rather shut it down. Why? Because they don't like the answer.

"Not engaging in good faith" = when the questions you're asking are too hard for them to answer

Can't even call it "bad faith question".

It was literally about "When you are saying 'if you X you should like Y' and 'if you like Y you are X' about race (he is black so he likes rap, or he likes rap so he is black) - it is racist and super bad, but when you are saying the very same about women (he likes pink so he is woman, or she is woman so she must like pink), it is not sexist and not bad anymore. Why it is like this? Discuss". And "if someone declares they are black - it is called racism or something bad, but when same person declares they are different sex - it is not bad anymore. Why it is like this?".

Those are very legit questions and just showing how women are not considered as real humans by those activists. We are just a costume.

What a ridiculous excuse: how can you engage in good faith when you can't engage at all?

Gee I wonder why they won’t discuss...

Because race is based on perception: a light-skinned black woman, like Meghan Markle to many people could pass as white, but a DNA test would reveal she's mixed.

Whereas biological sex is almost always clocked correctly after scrutiny, is binary and can also be ascertained by a DNA test.

So why is transgender considered WONDERFUL! and trans-racial disparaged?

Because one, transgender, has the power of Big Pharma and the Medical Industrial Complex behind it, plus a bunch of extremely powerful billionaires, some of whom are transvestites themselves, while there's no money in trans-racial at least not yet.

Maybe at some point soon surgeries to trans-racialize your face will start becoming popular and then we'll get trans-racial pushed on us rather than shamed.

I was being sarcastic...

but I don’t think Markle passes as white (but I understand that’s a matter of opinion/perspective) and I don’t think transracial will ever be accepted. Trans gender/sexual is accepted because big pharma/medical industry and sexism, imo
