What if she transitioned to African-American?


She would probably no longer be able to get any roles. It would be an outrage and offensive to black people.

But transitioning to a man? Sure, no problem. And men are not allowed to be offended.

How is this not hypocrisy? If we embrace transgendered people then we should also embrace transracial people.

Or you know... just call a woman a woman no matter what is going on in her head.

There are already some transracial people, I don't think they offended many blacks, more like a few white social justice warriors who feigned indignation and yelled racism....

Have many people heard about them? And were any of them famous actors?

But either way it is not the main point whether black people would be offended. In general that person would not be celebrated. Hollywood would call it black-face and give you no more roles. Its a double standard.

THATS ALL STUPID...ALL OF IT.🙄

has she ever stolen anything?

Maybe we should shift the definition of race to mean whatever you want it to be, the way pretend scientists have been trying to shift gender to encompass the mentally ill and birth defects.

I am racial fluid. Most days I feel white but some days I feel more black and those days I just go out with my face painted black. If anyone has a problem with that they are just being transphobic.

Or they just hate liars

Some would be consistent yes but many that don't have a problem with transgendered people would hypocritically have a problem with transracial people. If how you feel defines your identity then that should apply to your race just as much as your sex.

No

You're only allowed to think you're another gender, not another race.

funny how identifying as another race is not allowed when there is less genetic difference between being black or white than there is between male or female

Don't confuse people with facts!!

Like Rachel Dolezal, who was transracial? A woman born white who identified as black, was president of the NAACP, and chair of Black Studies at a University, and yet was attacked after coming out in an interview. Post Modernists should have embraced this woman, she was their Trump, but instead they attacked her and she lost her job and university position.

You're only allowed to think you're another gender, not another race. Dems the rules.
