The difference with which people treat transgenderism and transracialism is really fascinating to me. Both involve visibly different (but not always) groups, different cultural behavioral expectations, studies/debate around how much this is genetic, etc. 1/

So this is why I think (i guess, progressive?) culture no longer *really* thinks that women are oppressed. It's no longer central to female identity. They might talk about woman-power, but once you admit the oppressor group into your own ranks, your tribal unity is gone.

And I think this is good! I'm really glad people who are born male have the freedom of expression to be able to inhabit and be accepted in their female identities (and vice versa). I also feel grief for those who feel this about race but don't have the freedom to inhabit it yet.

I do predict that, assuming that the race war thing ends up dying down over the next several decades, we'll see a very similar shift to accepting transracialism as we did to transgenderism. Once actual artillery stops getting fired, I'm looking forward to the trans peace treaty.

Within 20 years melanistic skin treatment + surgery will be available and used by some to transition (in various directions).
