Ja Du is Filipino

[Trausti]

As a beautiful voluptuous differently-abled lesbian Black womyn, I want to congratulate Ja Du for being so stunning and brave.

Ja Du, born a white male named Adam, now considers himself a Filipino. Turns out the purple ride he drives around in is called a Tuk Tuk, an Asian-derived vehicle used for public transit in the Philippines he says.

Ja Du is part of a small, but growing community of people who considers themselves transracial. It refers to someone born one race, but identifies with another.

Everyone can be whatever they want to be! What are you!? Celebrate diversity!

Yup. Yup. Really and for true. Definitely Filipino. Who are we to say otherwise?

Can't forget this guy!

Why do you say that?

Is it because the more unusual and extreme the transition the less seriously you are able to take it?

Is there something truly fundamentally different in these cases than in the transgender cases? If so, what is it?

Obviously she's an Imafilipinophobe.

The difference is that we are fishing in the fringes here where some people just keep trying to think well outside the box and seemingly and quite deliberately want to follow non-conventional paths. Yes, there are fruitcakes that allow themselves to think they can just label themselves as whatever. And yes, that is ridiculous.

However, gender identity is starting to be understood as being far from a black and white issue. Meanwhile, the identity of a person's nationality, is solidly black and white.

One of the issues, though, is the trans-whatever person's desire and request to be addressed in accordance with how they feel inside. If Ja Du confronts you about referring to him as a Filipino woman, will you do it? Who are you to decide whether he's just a bullshitter and attention seeker or has legit, deep feelings about his idenitity as a Filipino woman? Same with the 50+ year old guy who idenitifies as a seven year old girl?

You are like the Bull Connor of the antiFilipinoists.

It's because it's a troll thread.

So, like, it's only this guy's White Privilege that lets him be a Filipino?

So combining this with the new thread in Natural Science, it seems that at least some MTF transgender people are that way because of an exact brain variance (not disease, I will not be judgmental) that puts a portion of the brain in the standard female form.

Now, if there was a MTF who had a fully male portion of that section of the brain then you could be looking at wackadoo reasons for that, kind of like this kook. But, many trans don't seem to be wackadoos.

If there really are autogynephile MTF, maybe they are that kind of wackadoo.

So we should brain scan them to see if they are wackadoos? Wackadoo sounds Australian somehow.

Says who? That man who thinks he is a six year old girl may think that deep down as part of his core identity. Who are we to say otherwise? If we brand that as a mental disorder, why can't we likewise brand gender disporia (sp?) the same way? And if the trans folks can demand we cater to their deeply held beliefs, why can't everybody else who has deeply held beliefs. Seems like a legit slippery slope to me and it seems difficult here to keep consistent and not hypocritical.

Nationality is. That's a legal designation/status. But what about race and ethnicity? Is that man above Asian?
