No, as neither are logical.

There is something wrong with these people, but just as the definition of homosexuality was changed for social engineering purposes, I suspect so too will trans_____ fill in the blank.

They lack basic understanding of how transgenderism works, but given how taboo it is among some people - whether its an age group thing or a political thing or a regional thing - I'm not surprised by some rather uneducated comments I have been seeing all over.

Again - like I asked pages ago - can anyone provide scientific data or studies on this "transracialsm" and link it to transgenderism? Can anyone prove that it IS in fact as "logical" as being transgender is and how it works?

Again, logic has nothing to do with gender dysmorphic disorder.

Well I know that. It's one reason I put logical in quotes. Tell that to the one who created the thread, and those answering who think it does, or who think transgender people have a mental illness or other psychological problems, or those who think this new term "transracialism" is equivalent in any way to transgenderism.

I also love Japanese history and culture. I wonder if I could get away with the asian thing too, even though my african ancestry is clearly present, especially with my natural hair. LOL!!

Damn you Rachel!!!
Would you ask your family to play along. I think this is the confusing part, she even threatened her brother.

Probably just stay you, your friends & family would most likely miss you!

I can't even be serious when discussing this woman.
I agree..... This isn't like going back to her natural hair color.

So what. If a man can claim he is a woman, she has every right to claim that she experienced racial dysmorphia since 5 years old. Regardless of her parents' reality. Is the whole trans issue based on the concept that society MUST accept the trans-gender/racial/abled person's reality? It is her reality that she used brown crayons at 5 years old, and unless we are haters or phobes, we MUST accept her reality!

Unfortunately, there aren't more people that believe as we do about this nonsense.

And I do want racial quotas gone. ALL OF THEM.

So that whites who DON'T get a job or in the school they want can STOP blaming it on "quotas" and (insert name of ANY minority here) taking their spot.

I wonder what their excuse will be then.

And black people can no longer claim injustice due to the racial make up of police forces or executive suites.

It's like we would be a meritocracy or something! No more "white privilege" no more "victimhood" everyone would compete and succeed based solely on the content of their character.

I'm down with that!

I'm white. Always have been white. Always have "felt" white.

Plus… she is a liar. At this point, people should be questioning every claim she makes about her past.

Just because you feel white, doesn't mean you can project that onto a person who feels they are black or Asian or any other race. You just don't understand. Why must you hate this woman? Are you afraid she is going to make your children identify with another race? (tongue securely in cheek.)

Oh, they still can and we'll know this to be true, but it won't matter. If you see a black person there, it's because they were actually WANTED by the company not because of some forced quota crap.

I want racial quotas to be done away with, so WHITES can stop complaining about not being able to have anything due to "minority quota" systems.

Once those are gone, then when they don't get the job, promotion or school they want, the "quota" problem can no longer be used. They'll have to find ANOTHER reason for why they were denied.

Um, if you don't like affirmative action, take it up with the federal government, but not sure why you blame whites for disliking something that actually does happen. Anybody not qualified enough, regardless of race or ethnicity, should be denied when compared to other prospective employees who are more qualified or otherwise somehow better for the job. That is ideal.

People aren't "finding" a reason for being denied - the reason exists and has been upheld in court for decades. Of course it's not true every time a white person doesn't get a job, but affirmative action is an actual thing and many argue - compellingly - it's racist towards whites.

I agree with you. AA did nothing more than demean black people (they were only hired because they are black) and create animosity from white people who used AA as an excuse to claim victimhood for not getting a certain job or into a certain school. AA created far more issues than it was ever intended to solve.
