We're okay with transgender/queerness because we've stopped seeing the gender divide as actually meaningful. Once we stop seeing racial divides as actually meaningful, we'll be ok with transracialism too

Transracialism? There will never be a time I will not be black and it’s exceedingly offensive of me and my ancestors who were oppressed for being black to have people just claim it.

This is a well-studied topic, and is what’s referred to as essentialism. The fundamental difference is intergenerational discrimination.

This article seemed extremely weak to me. Women have also experienced many of the things this article claims are unique to black people. Would transgenderism be less acceptable in a more obviously oppressive society, such as saudi arabia?

Those who wish to divide us won’t let any of those things go. Look up white fragility. The lady literally bombs on MLK’s messages. Theres no way we will get away from these people.

Each of us can do it on an individual basis, but the psychos out there don’t want you to be an individual, but also try to divide you into specific groups... its fucking lunacy.

It’s so weird that there’s way more of a biological case for sex differences than race differences, and yet the in-vogue essentialism/anti-essentialism runs in the other direction.

Or, we just stop fucking obsessing over race and gender? Cease to care about it entirely?
