i'm actually completely curious as what you all think about this, ok?

i'll keep my opinions out for now, but please let me know yours. no judgements, ok?

That is actually kind of interesting... I think it's because races, or at least what defines them outside of appearance, are manmade. If you did a massive child exchange, the babies would adapt to their parents and surroundings. Male and female brain functions are unique to themselves and you're born with one or the other, generally speaking.

mind explaining further?
Because it implies that you think the color of your skin should affect the way you act and live your life.

Which is kinda racist.

Not so much racial roles as inherent stereotypes of how people of different races act normally. They're definitely less publicly tolerated than people's perceptions of gender roles, although I suspect those will be just as derided in the near future.

The reason why transracial is considered bad is because there are certain individuals with money and political clot whose entire career depends on racial issues. If race suddenly became something you could change then these individuals would be jobless. And since it endangers their job and might make them look stupid they go out of there way to demonize people who say they're transracial.


In other words race baiting is big business.

No, just the racist one. Cultures aren't really a product of nature, so you basically have to think you're a stereotype. Feeling like a male or a female (and not in a stupid "boys play sports" and "girls cook dinner" way) is out of one's control. Thought processes will be a little different at a core level. Relating to another race's interests doesn't mean you're black in a white body, it means you share values commonly held by other people who look different.

The same is literally true of gender as well. Neither is a thing unto itself, although there are biological differences to each with significance far greater than appearance.

Neither is natural. If it was, it wouldn't require surgery in every instance. 

Doctor Foxx posted...
Here are a few articles about why transracial is not a real thing, not equivalent to transgender, and is insulting:

http://www.businessinsider.com/transracial-is-not-the-same-thing-as-transgender-2015-6

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jun/12/comparison-transgender-people-rachel-dolezal

http://www.salon.com/2015/06/15/rachel_dolezal_is_not_caitlyn_jenner_race_and_gender_are_not_the_same/


To claim that one thing is real, you have to decry other things as not being real to give yours a greater semblance of legitimacy. Honestly, if somebody feels that they were born the wrong race, why shouldn't they be entitled to equal consideration as transgenders? The bias against it can largely be viewed as bigotry as well. After all, the outrage largely follows the same course as the reaction to transgenderism.

Being male or female is objectively a different thing in nature, and it's not just penises and vaginas, but brain function. Even if some wires get crossed here and there, this is still true. 

Cultural development (IE: what makes a race feel different from other races) is learned rather than an instinct. Saying otherwise is ridiculous and that's what makes "transracial" not a thing. At best, you could argue a white American adopting a black baby from Africa may cause the child to feel it relates better to white people, but it's not magically white now.

Being a different race is also objectively a thing in nature... However, the entire cultural development argument is complete bulls*** because culture is transferred by nation rather than just race. An Asian born in America doesn't just magically have the culture of his nationality and, if he went back to his nation, he'd likely find himself out of place. Race doesn't even automatically give you language, which is the cornerstone of culture. 

Trying to correlate race and culture is complete hogwash. It's a matter of wrongly conflating race with nationality. More importantly, you've also gone so far as to also conflate biological sex with somewhat imposed gender roles, because some men will inherently have a more nurturing capacity than women while some women lack that capacity altogether (Jen being one apparent example). Having certain mental traits doesn't inherently make somebody more a man or a woman.

if that's true, how would you respond to what she says here:

"I think that 'trans-black' does suggest born under a different category but having an identity with the black community.

"In America there's a sharp line between black and white and I'm not neutral, I find myself on the black side of all of those issues."
I don't care what anybody wants to identify themselves as. To claim it's okay to personally identify as one thing but not okay to personally identify as another would be hypocritical.

However, I don't think anybody deserves extra rights because of what they personally identify as.

    I can't bring any evidence for or against a claim that hasn't been made yet. I can't confirm nor deny the claim that race dysphoria is simply "made-up" until I have some evidence that it exists at all in some way in the first place. Using religion as an analogy - if someone said God is just made-up I wouldn't be able to confirm nor deny that claim unless I had some concept of God to begin with.
