Bodhisattva in Recovery
Simple question, as I am a simple minded person.
If gender is a social construct and can therefore be chosen, why then, cannot ethnicity/race be similarly chosen? Following the same guidelines, as with the gender construct, isn't ethnicity/race also a social construct, in exactly the same way for exactly the same reasons?
Can a Black female become an Asian male?
Can a First Nation's Two Spirit become a white female?
This might sound silly, but not so long ago most of the population thought the gender question was rather silly
Thoughts?
If so, why do you think so.
If not, why do you think this is rubbish?
I'd particularly like to hear from the gender fluid crowd to get their take on this. (It would seem to be a natural progression from gender fluidity.)
