The existence of biracial Koreans proves that race is a continuum, not a binary. Therefore the boundaries of being Korean are fluid; there’s no such thing as being truly Korean, which means anyone can identify as Korean, & nobody has any right to deny them.
Calm down guys, nobody is saying race doesn’t exist! We’re just saying that it is a fluid & meaningless category into which anyone can identify, even a member of a racial class that's oppressed that of their chosen identity for centuries. Jeez, y u so touchy.
Nobody can know who/what they are better than the person themselves. Therefore when Oil London says he is Korean, we have to accept that he is. To do otherwise is a violation of his right to personal autonomy and self-determination, which are human rights.
Don't you believe in human rights, you MONSTER?
Cis Koreans who disagree that trans Koreans are Koreans, and are disgusted by the idea of a white person performing racial stereotypes and getting surgery in a bid to imitate the physical attributes of Korean people are oppressive, intolerant bigots.
No, white trans Koreans don't benefit from white privilege. Tho they're raised as white and receive all the material & social benefits that whiteness entails, they feel inwardly Korean, which means these benefits are in fact a form of transracist oppression.
Look at the backlash and stigma Oli, a clearly vulnerable individual, has received for coming out as transracial. This proves transracial people are oppressed. Would he be undergoing such extensive surgery, with such stigma, if he wasn’t actually Korean?
We should all uncritically accept Oli's claim to being a trans-Korean person. Otherwise he might harm himself. Then we would have blood on our hands.
What's the matter?
Do you literally want Oli dead?
Do you think he shouldn't exist?
WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?

The fact that Danny Lavery, the transman married to Grace Lavery, took GL's surname when they got hitched should tell you everything you need to know about who's really wearing the trousers in the relationship
I mean, if you didn't already guess from the body language of course
Reminds me of Martine Rothblatt, the world's highest paid female CEO, who is a man (of course) and who confesses that despite his gender change, his wife Bina still somehow ends up doing all the domestic work at home.
Huh. Weeeeeird.
The recent explosion of postmodernist ideals has been fed by the fact that many people, including children, live their lives almost entirely in a place that is rooted in abstraction and divorced from living, breathing, material reality - the internet.
We are now able to see the whole world, every square foot of it in fact, through our own eyes on a screen. We’re able to know what’s happening in every corner of the globe.
Or are we? What we see on Google Earth isn't the real world. It’s just an abstraction.
Points of light fed through a screen are no substitute for being in a place, breathing the air, hearing the sounds and seeing the sights.
Humans were not built to have access to the whole world.
If there’s anything I’ve learned from the trans debate, it’s that society will always ascribe the worst possible motivations for the actions of women, and the best possible motivations for the actions of men... against ALL the evidence.
Despite the fact that men are overwhelmingly the perpetrators of physical and sexual violence against women, society uncritically and without suspicion accepts their claim to enter spaces where women are vulnerable.
Despite the fact that women are regularly victims of sexual abuse, femicide and violence committed by males, but commit no such violence in return, society views their reluctance to accept males in spaces where they are vulnerable with the utmost suspicion.
Anyone doubting the assertion that postmodernist theory such as that propounded by Foucault and Butler grooms women to accept male abuse should look no further than the recent documentary on the sex cult NXIVM and its leader, Keith Raniere. (Thread)
In the documentary there is footage of Raniere repeating almost verbatim Foucauldian ideas about rape and child abuse, and how the roles of victim and abuser are discursively constructed by society rather than being objective realities.
He recounts a story about a 6 year old child who enjoyed her father’s sexual abuse and only suffered later when she learned that society viewed it as a bad thing.
