President of Spokane NAACP outed as white imposter

Yes, we've come around to accept gay people after a long and public social debate where it's essentially been determined there's no good reason not to. Which is undoubtedly an excellent thing. With these things, however, it seems like they've trailed along unnoticed and that it is now mandatory that we not question anyone's right to "determine their own identity" without having ever really established why. So when talking to people, reading articles, and even, say The New York Times comment section, there's an overwhelming sense of bemusement as to "since when exactly did we decide this sort of thing was now normal?"

The answer to your question "why" is above in the same post "why not?"

But that still doesn't explain why SJWs love transgendered people but hate the idea of transracialism. It's not a logically consistent position.

Why not let people be transracial?

Science actually backs up transgenderism(ex. difference in brains between females and males). There is nothing in science that actually backs "transracial", since there is nothing in the brain that is different between the races.

It is complete bull****.

I just don't believe that the left's backing of transgenderism is based on brain scans and I think it's disingenuous to claim that it is.

No, what is disingenuous is trying to argue transracial and transgenderism are similar. It is a complete straw man and fail attempt at "gotcha" by opponents against transgenderism.
