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

Not sure if you got to this part, but I feel like this pretty well addresses your concern. It seems like you're misinterpreting the "intergenerationality" effect here, and only understanding it to mean "oppression".pic.twitter.com/L4NREl6UBd

Still weak even given this; it's unclear why intergenerationality is a good reason for disallowing transracial identities as opposed to other things. If this thing suddenly and magically applied to women, would you consider transgender identities to no longer be valid?

Actually, transgenderism is the "cure" for homosexuality in those oppressive regimes

Yeah I really think you are missing the point of the article - basically racial categories accumulate intergenerationally. So you cannot change your race because you cannot change your ancestor's race. 1/

Even though it is a social construct, it is an intergenerational one - and the identity depends on your shared history with your ancestors. So someone claiming to be black or indigenous is simply not appropriate nor does it follow from the usage of the category. 2/
