Transgender - transracial. What is the essential difference?

Because I don’t trust a white person who would do this. I think the bar to clear to assume anything other than bad faith (for a white person who tried this) is monumentally high. White people don’t, and shouldn’t, get to claim that they/we are not white. We’re white. That comes with a lot of privileges, and also responsibility – the responsibility to try and dismantle whiteness (the system, not the race). Pretending we’re not white is pretty much the opposite of this. Pretending we’re not white is a slap in the face to those who have actually suffered from racism and discrimination.

Replace black and white with woman and man and you sound exactly like a transphobe.
