I find it funny that as soon as I said anything that the mods disagreed with on the general transgender thread it got deleted by morning. I am not surprised but it does go to prove that intellectual fascism in the PC culture is killing actual intellectual discussion by shutting down any discussion when they disagree or feel uncomfortable. Political correctness is killing free speech and actual scientific thought. Real scientists are being driven out of prestigious universities by proverbial mobs with pitchforks because the scientific studies they (the professors and scientists) conducted did not come to politically correct conclusions. Newsflash.....science and reason is not politically correct.
Ans so there is no doubt as to what I said....
What I said in that thread was that the concept of transgenderism is metaphysically impossible. (yes I am a philosopher and a metaphysician). Changing ones outward appearance or even changing one's body anatomically is an accidental change not a substantial change. To claim otherwise is devoid of intellectually honest metaphysics.

relative to the rates at which black, native american, and hispanic people are victimized, it's very clear that whities face lower odds of police brutality

also can oppression not happen at the micro level? not all oppression can be traced back to congress and the courts

Anyone of any race can be discriminated against. In actuality white people are rarely victims of racism but to say something like, "racism is a white construct" or imply that you can't be racist against white people is incredibly dumb and prejudiced. Stop making this sound like a 'white v black' issue instead of a 'racists v sane people' issue.

i've never dodged this question at all. the answer is no
deletedalmost 9 years
can you stop dodging the question. can a white, abled, male be oppressed in the US. If he lives in a predominantly black (or another races) community
deletedalmost 9 years
forms of oppression that aren't related to race exist, like transphobia, ableism, homophobia, and classism.

so he can be oppressed?
or without the semantical error on your part, why?
what if it's a white person in a predominantly black community in the US? can he not be oppressed?

to clarify, i'm assuming we're talking about a westernized society (i.e. US, britain, canada, various colonized nations of africa, etc.) in this conversation
