So I found this on a trans womans blog who was complaining about this person being a fraud, in fact most of the people who complain about this chick are trans people. Why?
>>5292978
Because it makes trans people seem illegitimate, or at least that's their fear.
Im trans and I support her, she did so much for the black community it's retarded to fire her for how she was born rather than how she lives
I admire Rachel Dolezal for doing the most ingenious social experiments of the 21st century, an experiment which quite literally proved that there is nothing intrinsically special about being black and that you can fool an entire race of people pretty easily.
But yeah it pisses me off that conservakeks are now using her as an example of why transgender supposedly isn't a thing.
Surely it would support trans identidy? if a person can have a female brain why cant someone else have a black brain?
>>5293094
There really isn't any evidence of races having brains different in a way that would give you an internal identity as such, and besides I don't think she ever claimed to have a "black brain". Transracialism is mainly a cultural rather than biological thing.
>>5293094
Because it's possible for you to end up with female genitalia despite being XY, but not possible to come out black from two 100% white parents. All fetuses have the potential to go either way in terms of sex (and therefore gender) and sex and gender are universal to all races, but races depend on particular genetics which you will not inherit if your parents don't have them either.
>>5293119
o rly?
>>5293128
Wrong. All people have traces of several races in their dna, but also not all genders are universal to all races as there are many genders found in only certain races (example 2 spirit) but again you all prove my point why are you anti rachel when her case pretty much proves trans is a real thing?
>>5293131
>in a way that would give you an internal identity as such
I'm not denying that there are differences between the races, even brain-related differences, but I've never heard of there being a part of the brain that tells a person "I am black/white etc" the way there is with gender.
>>5293128
>Gender and sex are the same
Say what?
>>5293162
So because you have not heard about it it means its not true?
>>5293156
You seriously believe there are genders that exist outside male and female? Considering people can be born physically intersex, I suppose it's hypothetically possible for someone's gender to be a combination of male and female, But not outside of that range.
>>5293167
Nigga, simply put, every fetus has the potential to develop male and female in sex, and because the brain has gender as its analog to sex, each fetus has the potential to develop a male or female gender there as well.
>>5293208
Many cultures have genders that are not male and female. Again by your argument you sound like you are saying its made up.
I know science idiot, i am aware you get male and female babies, but the whole fucking point is that gender is different to sex, and as there are many people who do not fit male/female and the way you argue it you make it sound like being trans is a mental disability (body not lining up with brain)
>>5293175
It's more that it's unrealistic to assume race and gender work in the same way, until we get more information.
>>5293246
Again i dont understand why trans gender people are so against trans race people, wouldn't our movement be stronger if we worked together (like with the whole LGB group)?
>>5293241
>you are saying its made up.
You understood me on that part at least.
>you make it sound like being trans is a mental disability
That's the spin you chose to put on it. In my view it's a variation that should not happen at all, but it does not disable someone.
>>5293285
So im confused-you saying gender is made up? Disability as in defect-as many trans people feel the need to change (which is what makes them trans) a lot of people would say it is disabling to a degree.
>>5293265
Well for one there's an inherent connection between gender and orientation (since orientation is largely defined by what genders one is attracted to) that doesn't really exist with race. And transracial and transgender have very little in common, to some extent they're both about identity, but transgender is biological in cause whereas transracial is social in cause, and generally transracial isn't a medical condition, like they don't need surgery or hormones etc.
>>5293320
People are attracted to sexes, not genders. Also people make that same argument about transgender people as there are studies to say that transgender occurs through nurture, not nature. The way transgender people dismiss transracial people is the same way a lot of society dismisses transgender people.
>>5293338
>People are attracted to sexes, not genders.
It's actually both. If a guy is attracted to a FtM, even a pre-op one, who actually looks male, they wouldn't exactly be straight.
>>5293308
I think you really only want to interpret what I'm saying in one way.
Sex and gender are real. Sex describes the way a body developed to perform one of the roles in sexual reproduction. Gender describes the way the brain developed to ensure the individual could fulfill that role in sexual reproduction, and ideally matches the sex. I'm saying there are only two roles in sexual reproduction male and female, so there are only two genders, male and female.
Yes, defect is apt. Whether it's a disability falls to the individual then.
But transracialism is already a thing.
It's called being a wigger.

Or a weeaboo
>>5293094
>why cant someone else have a black brain?
It happens to white people on occasion. We call it Downs Syndrome.

Phrenology is garbage racist pseudoscientist that was discarded by every scientist in the world who takes themselves seriously. Thanks and have a happy Thanksgiving!
>>5293156
>but also not all genders are universal to all races as there are many genders found in only certain races (example 2 spirit)
LOL you have no clue what two spirit is. It is possible for a two spirit to be cis lesbian, or a straight transman. Two spirit isn't a gender or orientation. It is not cis and/or not straight.
