Does that make all effeminate homosexuals into transwomen?
I don't think you have a clue what you are talking about PM. It is so easy to poke holes into everything you say.
No. Being male or female is biologically determined through genetics and someone's mind may be a different sex from their body, at which point their mind may take precedence if medical experts determine transitioning an effective treatment. Race is based on what a society thinks, so you cannot change your race without changing what society thinks, which is impossible for one person to do alone.
Did society consider MJ white or black?
So your excuse earlier was that it was not practical to have surgery to change one's race so there was no such thing as transracial. But
1. You think someone can be transgender without surgery.
2. The "surgery" exists to make someone transracial. Michael Jackson demonstrated that. A black person could lighten their skin, straighten their hair and have minor facial surgery and pass for white. And the opposite. It is common in Japan for people to have eye surgery to make themselves appear Caucasian.
So it is possible to do. And if someone can call themselves a woman by just acting feminine and wearing a dress, then a white guy can call himself black by just dressing like a rapper and acting black. We see white kids doing that all the time. They behave black and dress black. So why are they not transracial?

who cares? is it what society thinks that counts? If so then 'society' thinks that guys who wear dresses and claim to be girls are nuts and are actually guys.

Originally posted by Bill the Cat View PostNo it isn't. That's why they call it "Gender Reassignment Surgery". They are "reassigning" your sex organs, not your behavior. See "gender reveals"
You can't change your sex. Gender is the same thing as sex (see "gender reveals")
There is no such thing as a mind having a sex. That their mind thinks their body should be something else has no bearing on this.
No it isn't. It's based on skin tone and country of origin, primarily.
Notice how Fosberg didn't choose what race he was, his raced changed by circumstance. He found out more about his heritage and then society reclassified him.

Interesting. Do you mind answering my question "What do you think specifically determines what sex a person is?"
So if you were born a male, but as an infant doctors gave gave you sexual reassignment surgery and made you a woman, you don't think you'd have any trouble throughout your life? I encourage you to look into the case of David Reimer.
How is it determined what skin color and country of origin belong to what race? How is it determined what race categories exist?

Originally posted by Psychic Missile View PostGender is a social construct so as you have rightly argued the delineations are arbitrary. My personal rule is that I don't think about it and a person is whatever gender they say they are.
Because society doesn't consider them a different race.
If you look at how different countries classify the races for government purposes, especially in culturally distinct societies, you'll that one person could be several different races depending upon where they live. Even just in the US, we've changed how races are classified over time. The same person living in the US 100 years ago could be a different race than they would be if they were alive today. Because your race is determined by society, in order for you to become a different race, you must change how a society sees race so you are classified differently. All of this is opposed to gender, where what is defined is not who is what gender, but rather what behavior falls under what gender. Therefore, by changing your behavior, you can change your gender.
What if a person's reproductive organs indicate one sex but their chromosomes indicate another? Also, what if the genes on those chromosomes that work together to make someone have one sex or the other don't work properly? Would someone be the sex they were supposed to have been or the sex their abnormal genes made them?

Originally posted by Bill the Cat View PostThe problem is that, even from an academic standpoint, usage is ambiguous.
Chromosomes. Genetic anomalies exist, but these syndromes aren't what we are talking about.
First off, doctors can't "make you a woman". You are still a male with artificially created genitalia that specifically belongs to females. The case of David Reimer shows the absolute quackery of the entire process.
You're focusing on the ambiguities. In no country would Edris Elba and I ever be considered of the same race.
No, his race didn't change. Only what society classified him as. He didn't BECOME a black man, he just got corrected that he wasn't white. He didn't cease to be Caucasian. He simply never was.

Originally posted by Sparko View PostYou just rendered your entire argument thus far null and void. They are who they say they are. Not how they behave, not how society sees them as you have been arguing. Yet people can't just be what race they say they are according to you.
apparently it doesn't matter. They are who they say they are!
Behavior doesn't matter, remember? They are who they say they are.
sorry but even with messed up development, a person with an y chromosome won't have ovaries and vice versa. Reproductive organs depend on the x or y chromosome. besides, genetic mutants are their own special case, and don't inform on the reality of sex corresponding to gender. The whole separation of the two terms is a liberal invention.

Originally posted by Psychic Missile View PostSociety created races and decides who belongs to what race based on arbitrary characteristics. Society decides what race you are. Society created gender roles and decides what behavior is typical for men and women. Anyone can act like the opposite sex and act "atypically". Here's a test to see if I'm right: if a white person says that they're black apropos of nothing, does society consider them black? No. If a woman decides to act like a man, does society consider them more masculine than feminine? Yes.
Are you saying that if a person doesn't have ovaries they aren't a woman? Also, based on current evidence, when we talk about trans people, we are talking about a genetic abnormality.
And no I am not talking about a woman not being a woman if he has her ovaries removed. You can't remove someone's sex/gender by removing their reproductive organs.
