    to avoid anti-white racism ?

    No. People changing gender dont change it to “avoid” anything they change because they strongly feel and act like the other gender.

    Now skin color is just that: skin color.

    no one “feels” that they are white, black or Asian

      This 100%. It’s such a bad “gotcha”. “Transracial” ain’t a thing it was something made up just a few years ago to appropriate/invalidate transgender people

      How closed-minded do you lemmings have to be to think race is just skin color?

      So you’re saying there has never been an Asian adopted from China by Americans who has never in history ever identified with their adoptive ancestors?

      Transracial people struggle with themselves as much as transgender people. Both groups struggle with self-love and it’s bigoted to marginalize them just because they are not as understood or as persecuted.

        Hi!

        Transracial is a valid word for adoptees who have parents who are of a different race than them. It’s been in usage for at least several decades. This has its own set of issues. The term has been coopted by transphobes attempting to dismiss transgender people and weirdos such as Rachel Dolezal that fetishise blackness.

        Transgender people have existed since time began and have been scientifically verified. There’s countless scientific literature and historical documents about transgender people. “Transracial” in the context of a white person identifying as black was made up by transphobes just a few years ago.

        Based on your moderation history you seem to be an alt of a Kiwifarms member I banned from this community yesterday who had Palestinian genocide denial and pro-Nazi comments in her post history so I’m going to ban you too since this reeks of bad faith concern trolling. Try to do better next time 👍
