I agree with the poster who said a lot of folks have a very superficial understanding of the LGBT movement and attribute similar sentiments to this transracial nonsense.

It is absolutely infuriating on multiple levels. I agree. The worst part? Expect more of them to come in here saying the same ol' bullshit. Just go around and around in circles...
It reminds me of the people that when talking about transgender they always say some passive stuff like "I dont care if you wanna be a man, a woman or a dolphin", nah man, you DO care and you are being an asshole if you think those three things are similar.
 
At first, I wasn't sure Fox News was going to cover this.

After that Keri Hilson tweet however, I could easily see one of those jackasses saying something similar.

"This just proves that race isn't a barrier! This woman has been more of an advocate of black people than anyone else, has done more of the black community than any of these so called "protestors", has excelled and made major achievements in terms of career, status and even art, and she wasn't even black! What's your excuse now, Black America?!"

"Is Rachel Dolezal the successor to MLK we've been waiting for?"
 
Forgive me, I know there's a way to embed tweets but I dunno how to do it.

Let's just all thank #RachelDolezal. Identity, pathological, & parental issues aside, she's doing more than most of us do for ourselves.

This tweet knocked me down :/
 
Feel like anybody seriously asking the transracial stuff should refer to this spot-on concise post from like page 3

But science doesn't say that transethic doesn't exist. People are just making that up.

As far as the science goes. Doesn't every single human on the planet have some black genes (sub-saharan)?
 
Soo, I just had an argument with a person equating this to transgender people that if accepting someone with XY as a woman was acceptable why couldn't this be. He said he supports transgendered people.

I disagreed that it was a same and pointed out that sex isn't defined by gender and that it's quite different from ethnicity. I could very well be wrong about it so, I'm looking to hear arguments from both sides of opinion.

Huh. From February:

“It’s a painful thing to talk about my childhood,” she paused as she looked down into her hands. “I kind of don’t talk about it much.”

Doležal has no contact today with her mother or stepfather due to a series of events that still haunt her thoughts today.

Doležal and her siblings were physically abused by her mother and stepfather. “They would punish us by skin complexion,” she said.

According to Doležal, the object her mother and stepfather used to punish them was called a baboon whip, used to ward baboons away in South Africa. These whips would leave scars behind, “they were pretty similar to what was used as whips during slavery.”

From the Montana tepee where she was born in 1977 to empowering the black community in Spokane today, Doležal has lived a life full of experiences “most people normally don’t have to go through.”

According to Doležal, “Jesus Christ” is the witness on her birth certificate. Her mother believed in living off the land; they lived in the middle of nowhere.

As a child, Doležal and her family hunted their food with bows and arrows.

I really don't know what to make of this. The whole thing just gets more bizarre the more you read.
 
I wanna hear what Lacy Schwartz has to say on this. She always thought she was 100% Jewish until people started dropping clues. She found out her biological father was black. The documentary was pretty good.

You are correct .. Sex is defined by the type of gametes your body produces (In humans eggs vs sperm)
 
"From the Montana tepee where she was born in 1977"

It just gets weirder.
 
J10: I don't even know~

It's actually much more complicated than that; sexual difference, biologically, is a continuum rather than a binary. There's a great article in Nature (which doesn't seem to be working for me!) called something like "Sex Redefined" that talks about this, if you're interested and can find it. I'll try again at home tonight.

I guess that my big problem with this argument is that it reduces identity to biology. It's basically buying into the Right's ridiculous "they chose to be gay, so it's bad" rhetoric.

your second point is exactly what's being said: race isn't determined from a scientific perspective. It's a social construct. So while transgender peoples are misgendered at birth, on a biological level they identify with a gender different from their sex, you can't be born a black person in a white person's body.
 
I feel really bad for her at this point.

I don't. Just desserts is what it looks like to me.

I mean, what did she think was going to happen when people found out? Did she think this was going to last forever when she has a whole ENTIRE white family out there?

This woman deserves no sympathy.

Not really because gay people do demonstrate biological differences that are associated with their sexuality
 
I kinda feel bad for her.

Stuff like can destroy your life basically. You'll be an unemployable pariah.

Social media is really scary.
 
I don't understand. That article just confused me.

Yeah, it's weird. The article acknowledges she used to have blond dreadlocks, but there's no mention of her biological father at any point. The timeline seems wonky compared to what we know about her now, too, and details are just introduced and then never explained. Didn't her mother flat out say the person Dolezal is calling "stepfather" in that one article is her actual birth father? I also wonder if this article is the one that prompted her Montana family to pull her card, considering the allegations within it.

it doesn't help the article isn't very well written.
