Look at this article by nbc news. They use the exact same type of arguments against trans racialism that the right uses against transgenderism then they try to justify it with this terrible argument,
"RCTA and transracialism — which came to the forefront because of controversial figures like Rachel Dolezal — have been compared to being transgender. However, psychologists and activists push back against comparisons.
Tiq Milan, a Black transgender activist and writer, said it is a disservice to transgender people to compare the two. Race historically emerged as a social construct to establish a racial hierarchy with the white race at the top, whereas variances in gender identity have existed for thousands of years, he said.
“When it comes to who we are as racialized people, it is how we present to the world, but it’s also how people treat you,” Milan said. “It’s not just putting on the hair and the makeup and talking and walking [in] a kind of way. That is fetishizing, and it’s objectifying, and it reduces the beautiful and complicated cultures of people of color.”
This argument that variances in gender identity have existed for thousands of years is nonsense. The belief that men can actually be women and vice versa is purely a western social construct. On top of that why would this somehow mean that you can't change your race? They try to claim race wasn't even constructed until it was made to put whites at the top but that is absurd. Race has long been a part of history.
Then how they mock people who fetishize race is hilarious. Reducing race just down to appearance and how someone walks and talks is exactly what is done with transgenderism. Many men literally do fetishize the thought of being a woman. How these people can condemn trans racialism while completely supporting transgenderism is a masterclass in cognitive dissonance.
