Dr. Grande comes to the logical conclusion that to accept transgenderism, you must accept transracialism

It makes total sense to me. If we accept that some people are born into the wrong bodies, then it must follow that skin tone is part of that as well. In fact, on the scale of things that one can feel dysphoric about, skin color is much less of a stretch compared with sex characteristics.

Blackface is the new womanface.

Skin colour makes way more sense to me. What if you're adopted and raised by a black couple in black culture? Surely you'd be 'culturally' black then? You'd probably feel like you'd fit in better with them if you were black too?

What is culturally black? Culture of black people in Kenya will be different to culture of black people in the Caribbean, to black people in the US, the UK, France, etc. The culture of two black families on the same street may well be vastly different as their skin tone is irrelevant.

Culture can be regional, perhaps religious or within a regional ethnic group, but not racial in a generic term. There is little similarity in culture between Indians and Pakistanis, as there is little similarity between black Americans and Zulus.

That's sort of what I mean. You are what you grow up in. If you grew up with a black family in the US you're likely to feel more aligned with that culture. At least the concept is less nebulous than gender lol. For that I was thinking US black as they're the main ones that seem to do the black culture thing. Other places it tends to be the group. But if you're somewhere else and a Jamaican family for example adopted you you'll've grown up with elements of Jamaican culture.

Group, I would have to agree. If you grow up within a group, for sure you will become as one with the group, regardless of your physical differences.

Which is why I think the concept makes more sense, it comes down to culture. Even if you're white you can grow up in an area with another culture and assimilate to it. I do think it's complicated but if we consider the culture side of it mattering more than the looks then I'd say a fair few people can be 'transracial' just from living in an area that might have a lot of one group that you'd grow up with. You're going to be influenced at least a bit imo.

Funnily enough, transracial has actually existed as a term for a fairly long time, to describe adoptive children raised by parents of a different race to theirs. So pretty much exactly what you're describing, where they'd be raised in a culture "different" to what their appearance might suggest.

How interesting! It makes sense at least.

Even then, though, the fact that black culture is youth culture comes into play as well, especially with how trans ideology is built around "anyone who says they are is" (if a white or light-skinned person in a black family can identify as black, then that white person who really, really likes the new Drake album also can and indeed, you're evil if you don't let them.)

Who am I to deny someone their identity haha.

Shit, it's better because if this occurs that's in "this cannot possibly end well" (do people want to see a lot of racists identify as black so they can say the N-word with impunity? This is how you get a bunch of racists identifying as black so they can say the N-word with impunity.)
