Gender Identity: Can a 5'9, White Guy Be a 6'5, Chinese Woman?

there's been a lot of talk about identity lately but how far does it go and is it possible to be wrong we went to the University of Washington to find out are you aware of the debate happening in Washington State around the ability to access bathrooms locker rooms spas based on gender identity and gender expression I think people should feel have access to the facility I think bathrooms could and potentially should be gender-neutral because there doesn't need to be a classification for differences I think people definitely should have the ability to go into whichever locker room they want I feel like at least public university should do their best to accommodate for those who do not have a specific gender identity you know whether you identify as male or female and whether your sex at birth is matching to that you should be able to utilize the resource so if I told you that I was a woman what would you respond to me good for you okay like yeah nice to meet you I'll be like why really I don't have a problem with it I'd ask you how you came to that conclusion if I told you that I was Chinese what would you response be I mean I might be a little surprised but I'd say good for you like yeah be who you are I would maybe think you had some Chinese ancestor I would ask you how you suddenly came to that conclusion and why you came to that conclusion um I would have a lot of questions just because on the outside I would assume that you're a white man if I told you that I was seven years old what would your responsibility um I wouldn't believe that immediately uh I probably wouldn't believe if I mean I wouldn't really bother me that much to go on my way until you know you're wrong I just don't know okay he wants to say seven years old if you feel seven at heart then then so be I'm good for you so if I wanted to enroll in a first-grade class do you think I should be allowed to probably not I guess I mean unless you haven't completed first grade up to this point and for some reason need to do that now if that's where you feel like mentally you should be then I feel like there are communities that would accept you for that I would say so long as you're not hindering society and you're not causing harm to other people I feel like that should be it okay thing if I told you I'm six feet five inches what would you say that I would question why because you're not no I don't think you if you truly believed you're 65 I don't think it's harmful I think it's fine if you believe that it doesn't matter to me if you think you're taller than you are so you'd be willing to tell me I'm wrong I wouldn't tell you you're wrong no but I say that um I don't think that you are I feel like that's not my place as like another human to say someone is wrong good to draw lines or boundaries no I mean one just go like oh you're wrong like that's wrong to believe in X I mean again it doesn't really bother me what you want to think about your height or anything so I can be a Chinese woman yeah um sure but I can't be a six foot five Chinese woman yes if you thoroughly debated me or explain why you felt that you were six foot five I feel like I would be very open to saying that you were six foot five or Chinese or a woman it shouldn't be hard to tell a five nine white guy that he's not a six foot five Chinese woman but clearly it is why what does that say about our culture and what does that say about our ability to answer the questions that actually are difficult you

I think you could drag any topic into absurdity like that.

E.g. talking to someone who is a a big supporter of the right to bear arms.

Is it okay if I have a gun? - yes, if you get it legelli.

Is if okay if I use it to protect myself from an intruder. - yes, if there's no other way.

Is it okay if that person dies from the wound's? - yes, if they had it coming.

Is it okay if that person was the president of the United States? - surprised Pikachu face

Many people don't have enough critical thinking skills to realize this is straight propaganda. The real thought police are the people who tell you how you should think, not what you should and shouldn't say.

heyy Disastrous-Job2061!

your post "This is why we need pride" was removed because it was titled incorrectly :(

titles have to start with either "gay", "trans", "bi", "ace", or "les", end with "irl", and have only one character between the start and end. there can be no other text

feel free to resubmit your post with a proper title!!

if you think this might be a mistake, please send us a message and we will approve your post!

thanks :3

This is proof that universities fill your head full of shit you will never use, making no room left for common sense. To the point where they think it’s ok for a 6 foot, Chinese woman to be in a 1st grade class. Stupid
