Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I've answered this question before with other people. But I don't feel like you are asking in a respectful way.
Do you talk to transgender people like this as well? Serious question.
Because it's up to me if I want to share the information with you or not.
And again, not sure what this has to do with a political discussion. Does my sexual preference matter to you as well?! I'm not sure what point you are trying to make by getting personal with me.
You disagree with my opinion. I disagree with yours. But I respect your right to your opinion, and I expect the same courtesy from you.
Getting personal is not making your point. Please stay civil and try to avoid personal insults please. Thank you!
They aren't the same, Transracialism is a fringe belief that's been widely rebuked as incredibly racist. Get better sealioning.
Which was exactly what people said about transgender people as well.
And seems like people are starting to take this seriously.
"Racial dysphoria, also known as ethnic dysphoria, refers to a psychological condition characterized by a profound sense of disconnection from one’s own culture and a strong identification with a different culture, typically one that is distinct from the individual’s background.

Hmmmm, I guess it's not quite as "racist" as you believed.
Curious about some of your words; I would like to know if you are implying that I am racist because I am transracial.
Are you imagining things?
Oh wow, one professor wrote a book and now it's not racist, I didn't know that's how the world worked. Thank you so much. /s
Oh, so you don't remember when people hated transgender people, didn't take it seriously, and actively tried to pretend it wasn't a real thing?! How old are you?
Other people did as well.
Also, the "one professor" who wrote about it, bets her career on it, still surprised you, didn't it...
All travel begins with one first step. You know, there also one person who decided to take transgenderism seriously first too. I think these same conversations have gone exactly like this before.
Which side of history do you wanna be on?
So tell me again how's it racist? And are you calling me racist? I'm not sure what you mean, so I just wanna clarify.
