==> Oh Kankri. What the fuck do you mean by #transkankrism???? I worry that sometimes you might be TOO accepting.
Was I n9t clear en9ugh in my explanati9n? I th9ught the c9ncept was pretty straightf9rward, especially 6ased 9n c9ntext clues and an understanding 9f 9ur mutually intelligi6le languages, 6ut I supp9se that might have 6een t99 much 9f an assumpti9n t9 make 9n my part. I w9uld n9t mind ela69rating further if y9u'd like.
.....That's a thing n9w and n969dy t9ld me?
==> No no, I mean to imply that the very idea of someone identifying as a completely separate person is complete blasphemy and speaks to a larger, possibly unconsious, refusal to accept the self. While I believe that transgenderism is real and I have and accept my transgender friends, I would never accept someone who thinks they are "transracial" or "transperson" because the very ideas of these things are inherently immoral or simply a diversion from dealing with internal biases or self-esteem issues.
==> Yeah. Apparently.
Guess I sh9uld add that t9 the "strangely c9nfusing yet I w9n't questi9n it" list 9f identities.
==> No, I think we should question it.
I'm s9rry y9u feel that way. H9wever, as s9me9ne with a num6er 9f 69th transgender and transspecies friends, and wh9 is m9re l99sely acquainted with trans6l99ded individuals (n9thing against them -- I just have n9t had the 9pp9rtunity t9 engage with any 9n a m9re pers9nal level), I d9 n9t see why the line must 6e drawn at transpers9nage. There are plenty 9f things that might happen in s9me9ne's life 9r unlife that might cause them t9 realize they have 6een navigating their life 9r unlife under the wr9ng identity, and if they are m9re c9mf9rta6le 6eing Kankri, 9r any 9ther pers9n, f9r that matter, it is n9t 9ur 6usiness t9 6erate and degrade them f9r it. The 9nly thing we must d9, as crusaders against s9cial injustices, is t9 supp9rt them thr9ugh their j9urney and 9ffer advice wherever we can. And, frankly, as a Kankri myself, I see n9 pr96lem with s9me9ne ch99sing t9 identify as me. The 9nly thing I ask 9f them is n9t t9 misrepresent us. I will, h9wever, cede the t9pic 9f transracial identities t9 y9u. As a n9n-human myself, I cann9t speak t9 the specific struggles that c9me with the human c9ncept 9f race and the level 9f pr9priety 9f such an identity. #Transidentity
Decided t9 l99k 6ack at this p9st t9 see if there was anything new and. W9w. I think i've 6een enlightened...? I never knew transpers9nage existed 6ut. Huh. I guess with things like the 9therkin c9mmunity existing. This. Makes sense? D9es. D9es that g9 hand in hand? I mean i'm still putting transpers9nage in the 'strangely c9nfusing 6ut w9n't questi9n it f9lder"... 6ut. Huh. Guess y9u learn s9mething new each day...?
