Trans race movement. It's here, and will it achieve the same recognition as trans sex?

British influencer comes out as non-binary and… Korean? | MercatorNet


This serious article and parodied video certainly implies limits are not confined to sexual orientation alone. Ethnicity is an issue with a number of people as in these two instances that bring the subject out.

Ethnicity is now poised to take center stage as the next progression in modern society.

Will they achieve the same success as sexual orientation?

Should trans ethnic people be allowed the same voice and recognition now as trans sex ?

I think ethnicity change should be inclusive as much as transsexuals are, if one really believes in a progressive society.

You think too small and confining. Trans-life. The non-living objects too are made of atoms, Hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, etc.

Whilst I recognise the similarities.
Can you scan this phenomenon on the brain the same way you can literally do so for transgendered folks?
Genuinely curious

I thought this part of the article was interesting:

Where’s the inconsistency? It seems that those who object to London’s decision can’t find fault in the logic — they simply don’t want to live with the implications this has for the transgender narrative that has been told and re-told over recent years.

Illustrative of this was a curious conversation that took place on the talk show Daily Blast LIVE. Hosts Sam, Erica and Jeff clearly struggled to make sense of the London transition. Evidently, their biggest challenge was to speak of London with the same level of respect and affirmation they would normally extend to a transgender person.

On this count they failed, making comments that we could only describe as ‘transracialphobic’.

“Racial transition surgery!?” Erica scoffed. “What’s that? Where they do that at? What? I am so confused. I don’t even have the words.” She protested that someone can’t simply chose to transition into her own African-American culture, for instance — for the simple reason that they haven’t done the ‘legwork’ of living in her culture.

Couldn’t the same be said of a person who adopts a gender they weren’t born with?

Sam was just as narrow-minded, insinuating that Oli London wasn’t in “the right state of mind” when undergoing all of those medical procedures. “It’s very problematic,” she said, expressing her hope that there would be more discernment in the medical community before carrying out such surgery.

On what basis then is it wrong to say the same of someone undergoing transgender surgery?

“Is this where society is going to draw the line — on ‘racial transition surgery’?” Jeff asked tentatively, before becoming more resolute. “People aren’t going to accept that? Is that what we’re saying as a society?”

Isn’t the same hesitancy towards transgender people considered offensive?

What became clear from this conversation was that Western logic is broken. We have conceded that someone’s internal beliefs about who they are must be accepted as definitively true by society at large. And now we have no way of putting brakes on that logic without harming the sacred cow that is transgenderism.

And whether intended or not, Oli London is now here to troll that logic:

People might think I’m such a joke, but you know what guys? You don’t understand… I’ve had so many people online bully me about my looks, my love of Jimin, my love of Korea, and people just don’t get it…

I don’t want to receive any backlash for this because this is a very personal thing to share… I’m doing this because it’s how I identify, it’s how I feel. So I just want people to please be respectful in the comments, please be respectful online.


I can see the point that "Western logic is broken." I think that's been quite evident when it comes to numerous issues of the day. There's a profound lack of consistency which borders on hypocrisy, along with virulent resistance whenever this is pointed out in a discussion.

Humans are limited only by their minds. You can be anything you want to be.

In a sense.
Question is, how far are others obliged to recognize the individual by the thing they themselves identify with.

I've been called things I don't like.
But may still see a good, or at least an understandable reason for people to call me that.
And even though I may not like it, and may avoid them because of that, I do try to let them have the freedom to be themselves.

Reminds me of Uncle Ruckus....the white guy with "Reverse Vitiligo".

BTW, there's nothing avuncular going on with him.
"Uncle" is simply his first name.
