208184, Slippery slope.

If you think a transracial is lieing then what about this...

A man with balls and a penis who has competed against the most elite male atheletes in the whole world tells me he is actually a woman?
Should I call him a liar? Or should I say "Hey I can respect that. Do you"?

I lean towards allowing a transgendered woman to perform her femininity.

Race (especially in America) too is "performed". This was clearly demonstrated by all the funny #AskRachel memes. Most white people with an afinity for black culture for instance can answer 95% of all of those questions quite accurately.

I just read the article Buddy posted in his reply to me and it has articulated some of what I have observed in how some women react to gay or transgendered people. They are not flattered by their performance of femininity. Even going as far as to find it offensive because it borders on reductionist fetishism. But they don't get to deny a trans woman because it does not vibe with their woman. Might the same not apply to race?
