This issue has brought out a previously unearthed bigotry that is fascinating to observe unveil itself.

>There is Chet hanks who wants to call us niggas and this white
>woman staging hate crimes though.

lol. This is like saying, 'well there's this transgendered dude who likes to rape women and this other woman who sells meth but thinks she's a man" - and citing those two examples as your reasoning as to why you think transgendered identity is illegitimate. lol c'mon.

>I'll also add that the social stigma around being a
>transgender person is so crazy and dangerous the there really
>isn't much in the way of social benefit in identifying as
>trans, only personal benefit of being happy and healthy.

>The opposite is true with race... White who pass are looking
>for a social benefit either from blacks or others...that is
>less about how they feel on the inside and more about seeking
>acceptance and what they gain from others.

yikes. We're now telling people how they should feel and judging their own feelings?

This is a very familiar tactic: try to marginalize a group - as many people do w/ transgendered people - by positing a singular example of a troubled transgendered person to widely dismiss the entire concept.

Problem is - it never works. It's just a poor camouflage to mask bigotry and an unwillingness to accept a particular group.
