    Is a trans woman a man cosplaying a woman? If you doubt her sincerity that’s a fair argument towards her being generally untrustworthy, but I don’t think that’s what most people mean when they say stuff like this. It’s just bigotry of another kind. She always struck me as generally perceiving herself as a white american woman. Who gets to decide who is brown but the person themselves? Am I brown because I’m Greek? I have naturally darker skin than some who identify as black or brown but I’ve never felt anything other than white.

      I dont think transgender should be part of this conversation, people can do whatever they want its their body their right.

      I would put “ted” cruz into this same boat if you are in politics and are running for office where your constituency cant handle a person of color if they knew???

      Maybe cosplay is not the right word, what would you call it?

        This whole conversation started over Nikki vs Nimarata. Why can that logic not be extended to someone’s name, whether it’s this, someone experiencing gender dysphoria, or someone who doesn’t like to be called Matt because their name is Matthew?
