[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dolezal fundamentally doesn’t understand the black American experience, although she wants to co-opt it.  You can’t grow up and move through the world as a white person, and one day decide you “feel” black.  Those of us who grew up with the black American cultural experience from birth understand that it is not something you can just put on like a costume.  Her magical thinking about this shows the depths of her misunderstanding and entitlement as a white person.[/quote]

This is the same argument against trans people.  [/quote]

it has validity in both cases.[/quote]

[b]I believe there is a subset of trans people who have actual biological or genetic differences that impacts their gender expression in a way that does not match their genitals.[/b] And there are another subset of people who are so gender non-comforming for whatever reason (eg very butch lesbian) that transitioning to the other gender makes sense as a way to resolve the tension they may feel. And another subset are mentally ill and project all their issues onto gender dysphoria. [/quote]

Agreed.  I'm the black PP above and also feel that trans people are very different than someone claiming a different race/ethnicity, given the biological contributions to trans identity.[/quote]
