Aral Balkan added,
@sara_ann_marie Is gatekeeping identity valid when a minority does it? (eg., are we ok w feminists who consider transgender women “fake”?)
@aral These are not the same. I would start by doing some listening, not debating. @polotek and @IjeomaOluo might be a place to begin.
@sara_ann_marie @polotek @IjeomaOluo Hi Sara, not debating. Asking questions and listening.
@aral @sara_ann_marie @IjeomaOluo either that, or your curiosity is extremely passive aggressive by nature, and you should work on that.
@polotek Wasn’t my intent, sorry. Sharing thoughts + listening to responses. +@sara_ann_marie @IjeomaOluo
@aral Here's a great response. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jun/12/comparison-transgender-people-rachel-dolezal … / @polotek @sara_ann_marie @IjeomaOluo
@shannonfisher Thanks :) +@polotek @sara_ann_marie @IjeomaOluo
