You're throwing out nonsense like that and claiming others are stupid? Okey doke. |
| This is why affirmative action shouldn’t be a thing. People can lie. |
It’s been widely argued that race is also a social construct. Heritage would be more akin to, say, sex. |
| I thought everyone learned about this when Senator Warren’s claim of native ancestry exposed. US Tribes have registries. It’s not difficult to find out if you’re on one. Very, very few people would be tribal members and not know it. Lots of people (including myself) have family lore and even evidence of Native American ancestry, but that doesn’t make you “Native American.” It’s not believable that someone who specialized in Native Studies wouldn’t know this. |
| I think in a lot of cases it is about body dysmorphia and a need to find some kind of recognizable anchor. I wish these people were not automatically considered criminals. |
PP - Gender is quite literally a social construct. Think about how in the Victorian era it was acceptable for men to wear dressed but now it is considered "feminine". |
Yeah but the difference is that race is unchangeable. Gender identity is frequently confused with biological sex. One is changeable, the other is not. |
What are you talking about? |
Race and gender are both perceived and do not have biological meaning. Sex and heritage do. |
Sorry I meant renaissance, not victorian era
|
"Transracialism" is just nonsense used to discredit transgender people |
It reminds me of the Soviet Union Humanities were so politicized that everyone with half a brain chose physics or math or at least biology or chemistry as their major |
That is fashion, not gender. Nobody, including King Henry VIII, was saying he was female. |
But I think the question is why is one nonsense and the other valid if both are socially constructed identities |
You're surely purposely being obtuse right? The different fashion rules for what men could wear back then versus what they can wear now is all the proof that gender is a social construct. |
