Caitlyn Jenner’s story came out almost simultaneously with mine in 2015, so there was kind of this comparison,” said Rachel Dolezal, drawing a parallel between what she calls “race fluidity” and transgender discrimination. Dolezal stopped by the Salon studio recently to discuss her life since being “outed” as a white woman who had been living as black.
What’s not similar is the stigma right now. There was stigma in the past for sure, and that still perpetuates . . . but there’s more stigma for race fluidity than gender fluidity right now, and I don’t think anybody would deny that,” said Dolezal.
As people of color, no matter how hard we try, we cannot achieve whiteness, but the fact that a White woman can achieve Blackness and lie and take space and take resources and on top of it be belligerent when confronted is the epitome of White privilege."
Rosa Clemente, civil rights activist and journalist

Not trying to start an argument or support her nonsense, but in both cases, transgender and now transracial, something in the individual's brain is telling them what they identify as. Physically it is not true, but to them, it is mentally.
In my opinion, it doesn't make sense to "get" transgender but to "not get" transracial

I watched a guy being interviewed on tucker Carlson the other day who stated unequivocally that you are whatever gender you say you are at the moment, no matter what.
Tucker asked him if he could choose what race he identifies as and the guy said it was a ridiculous question.
Even die hard progressives don't know what to do with this one.

Yeah it's n longer the Simpsons did it instead it's South Park did it. The episode was just hilarious. I'm scared of what people come up with next. There is a weird influx of threads on /pol/ for making pedophilia and beastiality legal too. It's just strange.

Well all I know is, if blacks are ever awarded reparations, I'll be lining up right next to them because of the suffering of my imaginary ancestors.
