As "Transgenderism" has been accepted, will you all also accept "transracialism"?

a reply to: bobs_uruncle

Not going to "fly" huh? What does that even mean? Do you believe that people with loud "opinions" about other people are going to retaliate against people who tell them to keep their "opinions" to themselves?

All race really is is skin color, so I don't really give a #, race is a stupid concept anyway. No different than a Brunette dying her hair blond I suppose. Worst thing that happens is the lines between the made up race bull# might start getting blurred. Once people can't assume your race, race has been effectively been eliminated, even if in a stupid weird ass way.

THE HUMAN RACE

You mean "species".

We are all one species.

However, doesn't the phenotypic differences we see across several human "groups" count for something and separates human into identifiable groups (e.g. skin colour).

(Or is there a hint of sarcasm in your post?)

Birds are all the same as well but I've seen, countless times, the birds segregate themselves. You'll see black birds in one tree and another color of bird in a tree beside it. They rarely, if ever, perch together. I guess it's just nature at work.

At best that is a gross mischaracterization of ornithology. Different birds fill different ecological niches to be certain, and some who occupy the same stratum segregate because of food competition and bird wiring re: parenting.

Human's aren't bird-brained regardless. As a general rule.

Transgenderism has been acknowledged by society for pretty much the entirety of its existence.

That depends on what you mean by 'acknowledged'...

Neither I, nor anyone I know, nor the real scientific community, acknowledge 'transgenderism' as anything other than a mental illness.

None of us acknowledge it as a reality... meaning, none of us accept that a man can become a woman or vice versa.

So, the OP contained a false premise...

A man is a Man and a Woman is a Woman.

NO QUEER Circumstance with the alphabet crowd, no acceptance, no quarter. No Psychosis coddling. No Acceptance...


You asked.......

Totally false. There is no consensus at all. Ask the WHO.

Indeed, I also do not accept it other than as a mental illness, hence why I put the quotation marks...

By the way, if you're worried that black people are suddenly going to want to be white then you must also acknowledge that there is a clear disparity between the way whites and blacks are treated in society.

Blacks are treated one way in America and whites are treated one way in South Africa. The predominate people group will always look down on the minority in society.

Why shouldn't we use race and species interchangeably?

If we were talking about cats do you think a black cat is a different race than a white cat?

The funny thing is that the concept of race is more established in fantasy literature (where it is equivalent with species) than it is in biology.

Then why do you people overuse terms like "racist"?

Yeah, maybe I'm not looking hard enough to see the one that looks different.

I'll stick to this: If you were born a man and wish to become and live out your days as a woman then go for the gold. If you were born a woman and wish to become and live out your days as a man then go for the gold. You can be whoever and whatever the heck you want to be, you're white and you want to be black, etc. then as I said in the last two sentences go for the gold. BUT you're right to do either of those things should not dictate how and what I believe. I do not believe there are 72 genders, I do not believe that everyone should agree that there are more than two genders. You do not have the right to change my opinion and my way of thinking. You be you and be happy but do not attempt to change my opinion. I personally believe that in decades to come mental health professionals will look back at this time, with people going from gender to gender like they're redecorating their homes, and worse of all letting children (fricking children) decide they want to change their gender and scream "what the fudge were you thinking" but that is my opinion and that too will not be changed.

We are turning into a society that accepts anything and everything no matter how ridiculous and harming it will be. Heck how many times have we been reading about pedophilia being treated as a sexual orientation? We're treading on very thin, paper thin ice people. I think it won't be long before we have the left pushing for that too.

a reply to: Dwoodward85

That is really not accurate. We barely even exist in nature and evolution is weird...

Sometime soon genetic engineering (like crispr already in use) will allow a lot of things and changes to our species.

Its inevitable unless we have a huge reset.

So get ready.

No..... I think is it a siamese cat, or a manx cat, ragdoll, or a persian or a peter bald, or

any other of the many breeds!!

How did you guys let four pages of this stupid drivel continue??
Really? Trans-racialism?
Anybody read "Black Like Me" in the 60's?
Deny Ignorance already!

Your post reminds me of this: German White Woman Completes Her ‘Transition’ Into a Black Woman.

I've seen her on several interviews and on the show "Botched." There is something seriously wrong with her. She's even reached a point where she fully believes that she'll now have black babies because of her change.

Donald trump is transracial, he changed his look from white man to orange man. Trump and tan mom would make a bigly great couple.
