  2. Re: If a person can be transgendered, shouldn't that mean people can also be "transracial" or "transage"?

    Please, bear with me as I state the obvious:
    Women, African-Americans, lesbians, gay men, bisexual people and transgender people are all human beings.
    Therefore they have human rights.

  7. Re: If a person can be transgendered, shouldn't that mean people can also be "transracial" or "transage"?

    Until their definition of who is a bigot, a racist, or a misogynist creeps away from what you are comfortable with and then they come for you.
    By that time there is no one left to speak for you.

    That is hypocritical.

    Would that be fine?
