Professional boxer from Ghana, Bukom Banku.

He apparently says he will not stop bleaching until he's white.

One tabloid website apparently said he stopped though. So now I'm not sure.

That doesn't make him transracial, it makes him a moron.

I guess because he's actually doing something about it instead of just being like "I'm actually a black/native American mix in my heart, stop calling me white you oppressive shitlord"

For the record, I think both are valid. If Caitlyn Jenner identifies as a woman, then I accept it and wish her the best. If Rachel Dolezal identifies as black, then I accept that, too.

Alright, I'll start. From what I've heard, transracialism is problematic because race isn't "real" in the same way that sex is. Men and women are very different biologically but the only difference between white women and black women is superficial stuff like melanin and hair texture. Transracialism is also problematic because different racial groups have oppressed each other throughout history. But this doesn't make any sense to me because men have oppressed women throughout history so shouldn't sex changes be problematic?

problematic lol
OK a couple of problems
'transracial' hasn't really been used in this way until really recently. afaik this hasn't been an issue until recently as id politics have peaked in stupidity. transethnic is (was) typically used to describe a person who was raised outside of their birth culture like a black adoptee in a white family. the idea that someone can manufacture a racial/ethnic identity other than their own is completely absurd. to adopt someones culture to that degree - in the context of a white american adopting the persona of a black american - is just appropriative and offensive. race isnt real, but black culture is, and when dolezal decided to present as black, work with her local NAACP chapter and assert her voice as a black one, she was wrong. the only cause for someone to identify as 'transracial' in the way you guys are now using it that I can think of is a really deep seated and delusional form of self hatred. you're right to say that race 'isnt real' like biological sex (but biological sex is still ambiguous. kook has the brain of a penis person) but the effects of race are real and you've neglected to differentiate sex from gender. I'm all for people navigating their gender identity. im not for discussions on trans issues that operate within the gender binary and focus on whether or not a person can pass as the 'opposite' sex.
additionally I think a lot of what cait Jenner does is problematic for some of the same reasons that the dolezal bullshit was. the Jenner thing deserves more leniency only because she - dont care what your opinion is here - is and always has been a woman. but a woman who lived most of her life as a white male athlete, but she's a woman. she'll fuck up, because she has navigated until now with privileges that other women havent been afforded. dolezal gets to maintain her privilege while speaking over black voices. her identity was elective and illegitimate, trans identities aren't. you're making me compare apples to oranges here buddy.

comparing race and ethnicity to gender and sex, cross culturally especially, isnt easy
discussing this with someone who has different ideas on gender than you do makes it even harder
additionally the whole trans*whatever phenomenon is fucked up and appropriative of even the language used to discuss transgenderism. the level of discourse surrounding 'transracial' and '*kin' bullshit dumbs down legitimate discussions on trans issues like crazy and it's super evident every time I see these shit threads. it feels like the same shit as when 'whats next are people going to marry dogs' during the whole stupid gay marriage saga

So if you're intersex then you aren't allowed to talk about men or women? Smart
It's possible to be a good ally in any struggle, just don't talk over the people who you're speaking for

You can be an intersex who was raised as a woman and who looks enough like one to be socialized as one. Also almost every time that a trans woman because involved in the affairs of bio females they take over everything

Right, as I mentioned earlier I accept Caitlyn Jenner as a woman, and Rachel Dolezal as a black woman. I even accept Christine Chandler as a woman.

> dolezal gets to maintain her privilege while speaking over black voices. her identity was elective and illegitimate, trans identities aren't.
But doesn't Jenner also get to maintain her male privilege while speaking over female voices? Why was her identity not elective and illegitimate? I mean Caitlyn lived 50-odd years as Bruce Jenner.

> to adopt someones culture to that degree - in the context of a white american adopting the persona of a black american
How is this different from a male adopting the persona of a female?

It's no different, and Christine Chandler is as much of a woman as any other tranny.
