I was very interested in that Rachel woman a few years back. And although the parralells that people draw between race and gender appear to be nonsense for the many reasons above that you've dismissed with this one link(?), I'd love to read something that suggests otherwise?
I did read once that her mindset of her identifying as black is most likely linked to her traumatic childhood where her brother(? Forgot who tbf) forced her to eat her own vomit, and the researcher suggested that it makes sense that is likely why she wants to identify as a group that she also feels was, or is, suppressed by others. The same can't be said for transgenders who often grow up without any form of suppression. The parallels between the two that people make confuse me, its just entirely illogical.

We get one trip here - unless you adhere to the idea of reincarnation - so if someone identifies as a woman but was born male... or identifies with the black community but was born white, I don't have any problems with them doing everything they can to rectify what they see as a fault and to enjoy this one chance to be happy and no one should be allowed to tell them that what they're doing isn't right.
