Hi Pax. Firstly: saying that a transwoman takes social, legal and/or medical steps to have their “womanhood recognized” is transphobic in the current political climate. Women who ask that a transwoman be defined as such are called gate-keeping bigots. A transwoman is anyone born with a penis who claims to feel like a woman. That claiming of a feeling is all that is required in identityland. Second, whatever thought-terminating cliche you apply to transwomen can be applied to a transblack person. See “A transblack person is not a white person who wants to be black. A transblack person is black.” Third, the difference between transgenderism and transracialism is that transracialism affects black men, and men’s experience of oppression actually counts on the Left, unlike women’s experience of oppression. http://secretlyradical.blogspot.com/2015/06/rachel-dolezal-vs-bruce-jenner-real.html Fourth and finally, here is a black transwoman who doesn’t need lies or anti-feminism to pursue her own liberation: http://genderapostates.com/author/jaqueline/
