I've heard jokes about "Jewish time" but they're just that; they're jokes.
Was this lady serious?

"You're a white person, so you wouldn't know what it's like to face racial discrimination. I take my information from more reputable sources, such as essays about racial discrimination written by white people."
Makes sense.

Oh shit I forgot about another one. Not really sure if I should go into too much detail here. I mentioned this a bit in the transabled thread but...
There's a researcher. Don't really want to give out his name, but he's not one of the neurologist researchers on the condition that caused "transabled" people. Nooo, he's a a humanities guy. It's a little weird since the guy is actually quite a bit older so I was really surprised to see his very SJW aligning opinions. Anyways, you know all those articles with the transabled movement? Yeah. He's the guy who's talking in all of those.
I contacted him because there's not a lot of research going on in North America involving this stuff and I want to participate in research. I contacted him not really knowing what to expect. He responded and told me that he wanted to do a recorded skype interview with me. I agreed, he also offered to watch me for 5 days on my habits. I found that really weird unless he was going to install a camera or something but I offered an opportunity where I would be available in public. However, after reading the interview questions I've decided to redact that part of the study.
First, in only one of the questions does he ever refer to the disorder by its proper name (BIID) but he always calls it "Transabled". I hated this term ever since I heard of it, so I found it really odd that a professional would use it in his survey questions. Like bro, it's a disorder. The only question that used the name "body integrity identity disorder" was worded in a way that may encourage people to view it as negative. Second, he brought up what I think about the relationship between transgender and "transabled" people are... and also transethnic people.
I couldn't take it seriously anymore. I was like, oh man, seriously? TransETHNIC? Holy shit dude, you're a freaking researcher at a university but you used the term transethnic, what the holy mother of god is this? Is this tumblr? Is this tumblr materializing into a person?
I'm supposed to be interviewed by this guy soon and I'm not really sure how to feel. It's funny because I seriously saw these questions like 4 days before the whole Rachel Dolezal thing, which just gets me every time, holy shit. I'll probably tell him my honest feelings. Should I record it myself and share with you afterwards?
I mean I'll be frank, most of the interview questions are okay. So he's not 100% cringe. He's honestly really fucking shit up though in my opinion though, and I almost feel like he's taking advantage of some very vulnerable people who really need some form of treatment to push a more radical liberal way that we see these kinds of disorders.
I've seen the stuff he's been doing on news outlets about this stuff. I feel disgusted by him encouraging it blindly with nothing but really feels honestly because this whole stupid transabled movement is really fucking up shit for the people who haven't reached that point yet. The people who are asking for that shit are definitely people who are suffering but they've reached such an advanced point in their condition that they can't handle it. While it may be more ethical to offer operations to these individuals as an absolute last resort simply on merit that they may accidentally kill themselves in the process of self harm, you should NOT be encouraging people who may be able to deal with it to "transition" with this kind of shit, it's too fucking risky. I do think we need some more reporting so the public can become more educated, but this is not the way that you do it.
tl;dr I signed up to participate in a research study where they talked about transethic people, I kekled, 4 days later we get miss TransRachel over here

Those explanations don't make it seem any less racist to me. It's still perpetuating a negative stereotype that, if believed, would cause harm to black people. It's not racist as a joke, but actually using it seriously is.

Seriously. It seems like just making an excuse.
"I'm not late, I'm on colored people time! You wouldn't know, since you're on white people time, and that means you're always punctual!"
So, if a white person is late frequently, is that cultural appropriation?

Aren't trans-abled, trans-ethnic/racial twits stealing the attention from people who actually are disabled, and people of a different race/ethnicity?
...I for one am extremely thankful that I never met a crazy SJW/Tumblrite in real life. For example, I was a criminal justice major in a liberal university in a liberal state (NJ), and I also took a bunch of courses in philosophy, psychology, history, & literature. My professors were quite liberal, but they never pulled any SJW bullshit like the stories mentioned in this thread.
During my junior year, I tried meeting & befriending new, different people, & I'm relieved that I never met any SJWs among the student body.

Being "transabled" is actually a thing. It's really rare but there is a psychological disorder associated with it. Granted there's always the self diagnosing idiot from Tumblr but yeah, it's arguably a disability in of itself.
"Transethnic" I've NEVER heard outside of Tumblr until this study so I was like WTF when I read it. Then everything with Rachel Dolezal happened.
Interestingly I have heard of one news story of someone who would be legitimately "transethnic" right after the whole Dolezal thing. The woman was adopted very young by a black family and she only found out in her early 70's that she was white. This is an entirely cultural situation though where a white person was essentially raised to have a different cultural identity. I can't find an article about her atm but yeah. I think this would be the only acceptable circumstance to claim someone is "transethnic" or whatever. Let's face it, most people do not. Most of those who want to change their race want to do so because of a flat stereotype of that race, which is pretty racist.
Also I'm quite jealous that you've never had to deal with SJW bullshit in your life, I guess I have terrible luck because usually there's one SJW involved where I go.

I met a couple of SJW's in college. It was hilarious because you could mock them to their faces and they would do nothing about it.

The only thing that I honestly got out of this and your other posts on the big thread on this subject is a massive bout of troll shielding when it comes to this. Very much in the vein of the "Fuck Vade but I fancy the idea of fucking dogs" incident that happened in the thread on Alyssa. Hell, you even managed to mimic Tranlord's own statements at the same time, since he said all of the same things you did on how he knew it was wrong, and that he wouldn't do that, etc, etc.

I'd rather not continue talking about this in threads since I think it's clogging stuff up but I mean, I do have a disorder, and it's not a disorder that really affects other people. This isn't even comparable to pedophilia or bestiality. If you don't like people with the disorder, whatever, I'm not going to go and tell you to feel otherwise, but man, having a brain fuck up that makes you want to be blind is nowhere even comparable to dog fucking or even half of the shit that goes on in those tumblr blogs. The difference between people like that and me is that I'm willing to accept that I'm fucked up, I'm not looking for people to normalize it.
Anyways, I brought up the whole thing with the researcher because this researcher is doing some really controversial shit and other people were laughing at him in other threads. I have an interview with him next week which basically gives me some very close access to a very controversial and disliked figure. I mean, again, I don't feel like you should be obliged to accept anything about me but I'm not here to defend myself, I'm here to show how screwed up this guy is and his possible lolcow potential. He's basically is taking a group of very vulnerable people, who have intense feelings to hurt themselves, telling them that their feelings are legitimate and that other people with similar feelings should be allowed to act on them. That's pretty fucked up.

also in that same class when I praised the works of confucius and shang yang the professor accused me of cultural appropriation and demanded that I ignore other cultures except for aboriginal homeopathy
homeopathy isn't even non western or traditional, it was created by a german guy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Hahnemann in the late 1700s

Huh, as a philosophy undergrad I'm starting to wonder if my department is an anomaly. I have a professor who has openly mocked the concept of microagressions has straight up said that the current generation is way too fixated on identity politics. He also tends to have a more Continental than Analytic bias (and as someone who is admittedly more interested in the former than the latter, the former sadly seems to be the source of most of this hogwash). He is also one of the most well-read and eloquent people I've ever met.

My philosophy department is quite anti-SJW and the professor I talked about was an anomaly. She ranted about how the the philosophical community was conspiring to hide microaggressions and that nobody was taking her work seriously. The other 4 professors that I know were all quite dismissive of SJWism.
