If this had been someone who was born into the body of a white man, but identified as a white woman, and lived accordingly (including joining a feminist organisation), anyone who questioned that (even born women who were uncomfortable with it) would be branded a bigot. But, apparently, it's ok for anyone (black or white) to vilify this woman because she appears to be someone who was born in the body of a white woman, but identifies as a black woman, and lives accordingly (including joining a group which represents the interests of black people).
Why is that? Is it because gender is a social construct and race isn't? Is it because gender disphoria is medically recognised? Or some other reason?
I'm not trying to derail this thread, or revisit the issues raised on the other one, but this is directly relevant; it's a clear parallel, but the response is very different - I'm interested in why. For what it's worth, I 'feel' that there's a difference: whilst I consider transwomen to be women, I wouldn't consider this woman to be black. But I can't properly explain why. Is there a rational basis for such a position? Or for the counter-position?
