So gender, but not race...

Remember Rachel?

“I do think a more complex label would be helpful, but we don’t really have that vocabulary,” Dolezal told The Guardian. “I feel like the idea of being trans-black would be much more accurate than ‘I’m white.’ Because, you know, I’m not white . . . Calling myself black feels more accurate than saying I’m white.”
So WHY NOT 'trans-black' or 'trans-racial' when there is 'trans-gender?'

Of course, I deal in reality- so both are equally just as delusional to me.

One was NOT naturally born a male or female and decides to "BE" something else- the other was NOT naturally born a certain race and decides to "BE" some other race. How're those two delusions different?

Thunderbunny, look up gender dysphoria before you go around shooting your mouth off about stuff you don't even understand and shitting on an entire group.

In my apartment building lives a Negro (It's a bit ridiculous to call him black, because in Russia, black is considered an insult)., who looks as if he had just arrived from Kenya. Nevertheless, he is completely Russian, despite the color of the skin.

So, does she have a negative body image disorder or body dysmorphic disorder? You'll notice those are different issues than having a form of dysphoria. Dysmorphic disorder is a person disliking of some part(s) of their appearance. Disliking one's skin color in favor of another falls into that category. But she could almost be called Mulatto in appearance and not even black. Besides, she's missing a whole host of other traits that define a person as part of the African race in appearance.

Wiki wrote:Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a mental disorder characterized by an obsessive preoccupation that some aspect of one's own appearance is severely flawed and warrants exceptional measures to hide or fix it.
Here's a trans person's take on gender dysphoria verses negative body image. It involves the sense of one's self.

Yeah, people totally randomly decide one day to be something that still carries an immense social stigma thanks to widespread bigotry, frequently ostracizes the individual from family members, comes with a massively increased risk of physical/sexual assault, and has a shockingly high rate of attempted/successful suicide! Sign me the hell up!

I have a few questions for Thunderbunny.

What caused your heterosexuality?

When did you decide your heterosexuality?

Is it possible that your heterosexuality is just a phase that you may grow out of?

Why do you insist on flaunting your heterosexuality? Why can't you be just what you are and keep quiet about it?

Why do you heterosexuals feel compelled to seduce others into your lifestyle?

Have you considered therapy to change your heterosexual tendencies?

As far as I'm concerned, I find this lady pretty ridiculous.

Indubitably so. To hijack a known contentious issue to benefit herself is quite ridiculous.

Is she getting some benefit out of doing this? If she is, I'd like to know what it is.
