He already sort of is. Phil is exceptional and has no real theory of mind, so he tends to assume that everyone else shares his weird autistic fixations. Hence why he'll rant about Australatina when nobody but us reads it. He also tends to assume SJW buzzwords mean something. The majority of the population has no idea what crap like "transmisogyny," "cultural appropriation," "white privilege," "mogai," "poc," "spoons" and all that other crap means, and if they do, they either don't care or laugh it off. So most of Phil's weird rants mean nothing to the world at large.
Its possible. There's been speculation that Phil would claim to be Muslim for a while now, but I've always doubted it. Reverting to Islam is easy as hell and most mosques would accept anyone. Hell he could even go to Arabic and new revert classes. The thing is, Phil is afraid of "dark skin" and Islam is stereotypically a brown and black religion for most Americans. Moreover most mosques are pretty suspicious about anyone acting weird and would likely report him to the police if he showed up and started speeding about destroying Israel and shit. Nobody wants to be associated with shit like that, especially not after 9/11, and especially not when it's some weird random white guy with no connection to the community. The fact that gender roles are still pretty firmly entrenched wouldn't help either; Phil would likely be creeping on the sisters and talking about how hes trans, which would likely get him kicked out.
That said, Phil's autistic interests never really die, and much like the Kaliningard lie, he likely sees it as a way to shoehorn in being both "Arab" and "Jewish" in such a way that he can claim to be an oppressed PoC minority and still be acceptable to his SJW idols. Phil, like many SJWs, likely conflates ALL Middle Eastern/Mizrahi Jews with being Sephardi (of Iberian origin) because of how the term is misused. Of course the Arab and Israeli conflict is a complex and nuanced issue so we can expect Phil to handle it with all of the awareness of a toddler. Who was in a car accident and suffered permanent brain damage.
Like I said before, its along the lines of when Phil found out about the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad. In his mind, it let him claim to be Jewish (and Israeli), German (and thus Nazi) and Russian (and thus Communist). It was all of his autistic fetishes combined together. In the real world, things don't work out that way. Yes there are Arab Jews. A lot of them actually. But Phil is too dense to understand the complex relationship most Arab Israelis feel towards their own cultural/ethno-linguistic background and their former home countries. The Iraqi Jewish community was mostly gone by the 50s, and only a handful of Jews are believed to remain in Iraq. Literally. So most don't really identify with the country of Iraq. In Phil's mind though it means he can pretend to be Arab and Jewish, be Israeli AND pro-Palestine. I almost hate to tell him that most Arab Jews in Israel lean towards the conservative side of politics.
Of course once he figures out how many countries identify as "Arab" then we can see him weigh in on political issues from Morocco to Yemen to Sudan to Qatar to Iraq and Palestine of course. Or maybe not. Like I said, Phil is afraid of darkies and foreigners and its not like there's many SJW points to be had bemoaning the plight of Western Sahara.
Agreed. Hell she's still pretty damned hot, especially if you're into cougars (which I totally am...).
Ironically both Chris and Phil discovered sexuality relatively late in life. They were both kind of sheltered (and, let's be honest, slow in the mind) children even into their teenage years. It seems to be a running trend with troons actually. Most never seem to develop much beyond the "this gives me a boner" phase. Those that do attach a weird fetishization to the clothes or something about the woman. You or I would be like "oh that's a hot chick, I wanna have sex with her." Phil somehow came to the conclusion dressing like her would turn him on. With a good trip to a shrink, he might have developed normal. Hell while he was never gonna be overly successful, with the right guidance he might have found a decent job and could have married some Hispanic woman by now. His fantasy would have been solved. Instead he's living in Portland with a fat drunk, covered in crappy tattoos and got his dick chopped off, all while wondering why he isn't getting asspats from strangers on the internet.
ALSO, while on the subject of Phil's budding sexual identity, it's worth noting one of his first big "crushes" was a cartoon character, and that continued for quite a while. Now granted it's not that unusual. I'm sure there are plenty of people here who are into Rule 34 and I dont judge but Phil likely has a hard time understanding that Sasuke isn't "real." I mean unlike Chris, I don't think Phil literally believes that cartoon characters live in another dimension and are waiting to hang out with him, but I do think he believes people think, talk and look like Naruto characters in real life. He has trouble understanding how people interact. He doesnt get that dressing up like Sasuke was more likely to get him laughed at than earn him friends.
