This is from my last post, many people disagreed with my belief. Since people are able to identify and claim whatever they want to be. I know a now a white women. I do not consider nor identify myself as an African-American woman anymore. I don’t feel comfortable in my skin. I don’t believe this was my right race at birth. So I will now be transitioning and starting to go fund me. Please support, thank you.

    I think people need to take a step back from the vitriol and realize the irony in @deadgirlwalking@lemmy.world’s statement about wanting to claim being white when they are black.

    At the core, trans men / women identify differently from their gene or cellular biologics; this is fundamentally no different than someone black / white claiming to identify differently from their gene or cellular biologics. If you are OK with one, you must and should be OK with the other…

    I think the reason why @deadgirlwalking@lemmy.world is having such difficulty with this ‘showerthought’ is because it hits home for them in a different way.

    Don’t think about the centuries of slavery and racism @deadgirlwalking@lemmy.world 's ancestors endured, no… think about the racism that PoCs endure today, yet its relatively less socially divisive for men / women to be something else.

    I think delivery was wrong, but there is a powerful message in the discussion of this ‘showerthought’ …

      Except that there are biological components that are also part of transgenderism that explain why someone with male physiology expresses female thoughts and feelings or vice versa, or other types of internal gender identity. No such biological explanation exists to support OP’s argument that the same happens for race.

        Are you black? Because within the black community especially when you’re young, you get ridiculed shamed and shunned for being a darker skin. Many in the community want to reach the proximity of whiteness in someway since they were born. I always wanted a lighter skin straight hair, blue eyes. Why can’t I achieve that? Why can’t you just accept it?

            You must be ignorant, the amount of times I’ve seen women, especially myself be degraded for the littlest things. I was told pretty but too dark, I was told I’m pretty, but have too much of an ethnic big nose, we get called ghetto for wearing wigs, nails and lashes but when others do it, it’s not a problem. Most Black men don’t even want to date their own race.

        What biological components are those? Please explain what you mean

            Interesting study and others: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17765230/

            Not saying you are wrong, but a few things to note / discuss:

            • The study indicates that CYP17 is a “candidate gene”? It isn’t fully proven…
            • The study indicates the CYP17 gene is valid for FtM but not MtF transitions… which means at best it can only explain half the population of trans right now
            • The study I linked was done with under 2000 people in 2007, and a later study in 2015 was done with under 700 people. When you compare that to the estimated 30-70 million transgender potential people, the study is lacking in my statistical opinion…

            Further, have you considered that maybe trans-racialism simply is too new and hasn’t been studied enough?

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transracial_(identity)

            From ChatGPT: The relationship between genetics and transgender identity is a complex and ongoing area of research. While there have been studies exploring the potential influence of genetic factors on gender identity, it’s important to note that there is no single gene or genetic variant definitively linked to transsexuality.

            Research in this area is still evolving, and findings have been mixed. Some studies have suggested potential associations between certain genetic variations and gender identity, but these findings are not universally accepted and often require further replication and validation.

            The statement you provided refers to a variant genotype of the CYP17 gene, which is involved in the metabolism of sex hormones. While there may be ongoing research exploring the role of genetics in gender identity, it’s essential to interpret such findings with caution and within the broader context of the complexity of gender identity, which is influenced by a combination of biological, psychological, social, and cultural factors.

      No, but this should be talked about if people are able to transition their genders shouldn’t we be able to transition our race?

        Claiming to identify as, and even getting support from Lemmy for, a white man will not, however, change how racist and mysogynists treat you; this isn’t going to solve the problem they’re causing.

        But most people here are assuming you’re just a troll making fun of trans people; I myself haven’t seen you before, so… benefit of a doubt.

          I’m simply stating if they are able to identify and claim themselves any gender they’d like, I can do the same with my race and transition to white. They can support switching genders but not race?

    First the guy in general talking about being attracted to 15-19 year olds, and now this? Today’s fucking weird.

      Might be the same person. It’s an obvious troll account that was only created yesterday.

      This is probably copying the latest JK Rowling trolling story which is about the same subject.

        Who’s JK? I’m not trolling I’m serious about this, if others are able to change and identify by what they want and we have to accept it, people need to now accept me as white

          The JK Rowling “race change” comments were in my feed yesterday, as were you, and you pretty obviously saw them.

          Look you’ve made at least three accounts to troll with. I don’t know if you’re bored or if you’re hurting, but here are some ideas (all free) for a better use of your time:

          • Get a duolingo account and learn a new language

          • Download Insight Timer and try guided meditation

          • Sign up to EdX and enrol in a course

          • Join Lichess and follow some of the tutorials

          • Make an account at Neopets and play some casual games

          I’m serious about this. Trolling can feel satisfying at first because you get attention but it’s empty attention, a bit like empty calories. To get the kind of attention that actually soothes your soul you will need to offer something of positive value to an online community instead.

            I’m serious about this, it’s just too new for you to understand. How come me speaking on this is considered trolling? That isn’t right, you’re being transphobic
