There's nothing wrong with exploring your identity in nontraditional ways. But here's a self-ID'd POC who posts about Rachel Dolezal and "transblack"

Here's that same saiditor trying to earn points by insisting that they're a person of color

It's not the case that - "it's okay to belittle people who are exploring their identity as long as you're straight up about your own". It's still bad to be an internet bully against people exploring themselves. But here's one who participates in the exact same behavior they want to ridicule in others

So you admit transblacks are better than the real deal.

This is an exploration of the ways people lie to themselves in service of hypocrisy.

If you're going to level that accusation at anyone - it should probably be the one insisting that they're a POC for points. It's that person who seems to think it's better to be a "transblack" or whatever. If that person didn't think "transblack" was better, they wouldn't insist it applies to them

Transphobia is calling Nkeche Diallo white or deadnaming her by calling her “Rachel Dolezal.” Why do white people even want to keep her anyway? Let her call herself a nigger. It just makes it easier to justify white people doing the same. If she wants to give up her white privilege, I’ll gladly take it for her.

Are you denying my heritage because I don't fit your idea of a POC? Hah, what a bigot!

I don't mind if you want to explore your identity or ancestry or whatever.

I mind, and I consistently mind, when you belittle other people for doing the exact same thing.

Actually - I want to validate and reinforce whatever conclusions you come to about yourself.

Wherever you decide to settle concerning your identity, I will support your rights to exist in that space.

It's not people like me who would want to jail, gas or deport you, and it's not people like me making racist or homophobic posts online. I want you to understand that it's you doing that, it's you who discourages others from doing that.

When someone, perhaps just as confused about their identity as you are, finds your posts which belittle and bully the genderqueer or racially confused.... do you think such a person feels encouraged to be themselves? Or does it feel like bullying?

I want for you to understand how your words affect others, and how you consistently break the Golden Rule

I was defending the Rachel Dolezar, so that's a weird take to me.

You're thinking of yourself here. You're the hateful guy, buds.

Uh huh I'm hateful and you're just a normal guy with a post history full of hatred for Jewish people, black people, gay people and trans people. You're just a normal guy like anyone exploring their identity, and it's not hateful as long as the identity you land on isn't Jewish or trans. Okay buddy

post history full of hatred for Jewish people, black people, gay people and trans people.

I don't think so, there's absolutely no hate in my post history. I am highly critical of gender identity, perhaps that confused you, hate monger.
