I want to preface this by saying that we have a zero tolerance policy for transphobia. Your comment will be removed and you will be banned if you spout transphobia here. Our existence is not up for debate.

That said, how do you differentiate being transgender and being trans racial?

I’m curious how to answer this question in a good faith debate with someone. Emotionally I know that they’re not the same and that one is wrong and the other is not wrong, but I’m unsure as to why that is and am curious if anyone else has given any thought about it.

    race was invented to justify slavery, our society is built on this notion, but it doesn’t have to be, we can create a society without race as we know it, but we aren’t, were continuing to engage with racism.

      Acknowledging racism in our society is not “continuing to engage”. We can’t just cover our eyes and ears and suddenly live in a better world.
