If gender is a social construct, and so is race (biologists agree that race doesn't not physically exist), then why can you be trangender but not transracial? If it's about having behavioral traits then there are different cultures with different behavioral traits. So what makes gender different than race?
>>
>>43602803
cos theres no existing mental illness that justifies devoting medication to treating transracials
>>
>>43602803
Transracials could simply be fully integrated migrants.
And transitioning could just mean migrating. If you want to be a transbrazilian, you could learn portuguese and go to a brazilian city and try to adopt all behavioral traits of brazilians.
Something similar could be applied to distinct groups inside a country, like blacks in the us or whatever.

>If gender is a social construct
But it isn't, though.

>gender
Human social assignment of the sexes. Informed by biology.
>gender identity
Innate biological understanding of one's own sex, hard written into the brain prior to birth.
>gender roles
Actually socially constructed, with the obvious exception of things related to sexual reproduction

trannies and niggers are genetic subhumans who should be sent to africa
>>
>>43602803
nobody actually thinks race isn't a thing
>>
Because it isn’t politically expedient to the powers that be like this fake tranny issue is.

If they dedicated celebrities and social scientists to saying otherwise losers would call themselves trans racial.
>>
>>43602803
Reality doesn’t care about the narratives that you impose on it post hoc. All discourse is utterly unimportant.

>(biologists agree that race doesn't not physically exist)
goofy ass. i'm actually so close to just being anti science or some shit at this point. none of this is science, this is just the worst parts of religion with deterministic worship of the status quo injected into it. like what the fuck. if these motherfuckers had anything to do with science they'd realize that 99.999% of science has historically been proven to be gobbledygook, nonsense, and mental retardation and 99% of what HASN'T been is just waiting for its turn

oh ohhh le experts agree this thing is True (TM) that means its scribed directly into the big book of natural law of the universe (saying it is wrong is against the laws of physics and will blow the world up)
>>
race is such a nonexistent social construct that you actually have to take it into account with blood transfusions, organ donors and bone marrow transplants because of your body rejecting it if the donor is not from your social construct group. lucky us that you can actually test and pinpoint the nonexistent social construct group from one blood sample
>>
>>43602803
So you have faith in what these scientists say?
>>
Race has always been and will continue to be relevant. The elite have seen the effects of having othering groups infiltrate certain regions and contribute to the global demise of isolated groupings trying to keep to themselves. If people really wanted true assimilation, they would send unarmed muslims/islamists to the pygmy islands indigenous to primitive people and to the cannibalistic territories in africa. africa has tons of open territory thay can sufficely house these people.
>>
>>43602803
short answer is that they are different kinds of social constructs. money is a social construct but theres no “transrich”; it just doesnt work like that. the fact that gender is a social construct is not the only factor that contributes to the existence of transgender people
>>
>>43602803
What do you people mean by race? Like the world is divided into caucasians, negros and mongoloids?

>Innate biological understanding of one's own sex, hard written into the brain prior to birth.
Lots or people discover they are the opposite sex in adulthood so its not that hard wired lol
>>
>>43602803
because sex biologically exists
you can't be transgender, you can only be transsexual. some people mistakenly call transsexuals "transgender" because it is polite
>>
>>43602803

Gender is best understood not only as a social construct, but kind of a assemblage of social, psychological, biological, cultural and performative signifiers and factors that can shift and present themselves in different ways at different times.

All I want to do is find a husband that will treat me well and not have an open polygamy unless we become amish

Gender is whatever I need it to be too justify whatever point I'm trying to make at any given moment

>biologists agree that race doesn't not physically exist
this is false it’s not that it doesn’t exist it’s just that the categories are arbitrary. The real reason trans race doesn’t exist is that it is significantly more difficult if not impossible to change your looks to a different race. Phenotypically men and women of the same race are closer in many ways than people of different races, plus gender is highly performative while race is purely physical

The social construct of race exists in response to ones skin color. Your race isnt determined by yourself or how you feel, its something given to you by society. I would argue more accurately, race is more or less "white or not" in western society. Indeed, you can pass as white. If you do pass as white, you simply do not carry the burden of being another race. For all intents and purposes, you cannot be that race because you cannot grind against society in a meaningful way. Race is almost entirely the interaction between an individual and their community.
You can argue the same for gender and its relative phenotypes. However, gender is a universal experience and an internal one that can grind against society. As a trans woman, your experience as a man is uncomfortable and hurts. As a black person, your experience in white America is uncomfortable and hurts. You cannot be someone with white skin who relates to black people in that some way. The worst youll get is another white boy saying you talk like a n*gger.
TL;DR; You can be gay but you cant be black. Its just a vibes thing.

>>43602803
gender is not a social construct, this board was way more transmedicalist the way i remember it
>>
>>43602803

No one credible has ever stated that race "doesn't exist." You can literally see the differences between people. It's a genetic reality.

Someone with a billion degrees could tell me race doesn't exist and I would immediately know that they were an idiot and that their degrees aren't worth the paper they're printed on.
>>
>>43603880
so exacty like race?
>>
>>43602803
you can be transracial.

>retarded dropout self report
race is not genetic, it's phenotypical (same as gender) and genetics do play a part in that. doesn't make race a biological concept.
