As much as I think it& #39;s... strange... seeing white people make themselves look BLACK and black people make themselves look WHITE, why do we think the idea of that is so shocking but a male becoming a female or vice-versa is seen as an amazing feat and that we support?
If we& #39;re going to encourage people to be their & #39;authentic selves& #39;, why do we get to pick and choose what falls into what& #39;s acceptable and what& #39;s not? Especially given race/ethnicity is far less important than gender/sex.
I& #39;ll never understand how we& #39;ll see a male transforming into a female and say, & #39;BE YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF, YOU& #39;RE AMAZING", but see a white or black girl trying to appear as the other side and we attack them and make out they& #39;re self-hating and absolutely insane?
If a white woman is self-hating for wanting to look black or a black woman self-hating for wanting to look white then why isn& #39;t a male self-hating for wanting to be a female and vice-versa, what gives us the right to pick and choose when it& #39;s ok?
