White Guy Self-Identifies as Filipino Woman
November 15, 2017 at 12:41 pm
Some dude in Florida has decided that not only is he a she but that he is also a Filipino.
HERE
While there may be some justification in believing that some people with male genitals have female brain structures*, I cannot think of any way to justify the notion that people can be whatever race they want to be, other than recognizing 'race' as the social construct that it actually is. Do liberal/progressive types think this kind of post-modern approach to identity is valid?
*The notion that there is a specifically female brain seems like a can of worms for feminism.

And? Why do you care what someone else identifies themself as? You identify yourself as a true believer in the one god.
Which is more ludicrous? At least filipino females exist.
I think that it's silly to object to self identification. We all have one. How many of them are accurate representations of self in the first place?

It is kind of contradictory. On one hand we say that femininity/masculinity don't exist and that males/females are the same and interchangeable. On the other hand we recognize the extreme psychological plight a person is put in when they feel feminine but are actually male.
So, which is it?
They cant both be true. Personally I'll take the latter one and acknowledge the differences between men and women.
As for race, I have no idea.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

No, not the same, just same rights.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Who
The fuck
Cares?
It hurts nobody.
It kills nobody.
It affects nobody else's life.
The Sun will still rise in the morning. It will still set at night.
Had there not been mention of this, you would have continued your life regardless. Is it too much to ask for that sentiment to be reciprocated
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Meh, just another god damn laotian trying to put one over on us.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
