One of my "friends" says that me being able to change my gender is as ridiculous as being able to change your race. I've said all I can to him and he still won't understand. Can you help me out?

Wario knows just the thing to solve this problem.
I feel like the anonymous asker’s “friend” doesn’t understand the hardships people like me and the asker go through. I am genderfluid just like the asker and I also fall under the “ridiculous” category of someone that is racialfluid. This question hurt me in so many ways.

Last night my husband and I went out to eat to celebrate my getting a job. We had some nice Italian food, and eventually the waiter came around to see if we wanted a dessert. My husband said no thanks, but I felt like having a few bites of something, so I asked for the dessert menu. To which the…
As someone who identifies as an overweight individual this really get to me. I can’t believe you would even go to a restaurant where the servers are allowed to behave like that. He was clearly trying to hint that you shouldn’t eat dessert because of your size. This is disgusting.
God this picture really speaks about who I am. I wish more people would be understanding of what I have to go through every single day but every time I try to explain to someone about my lifestyle they laugh in my face. I just feel so alone in my life and I just want people to stop dismissing me for who I really am.

Having white friends is the biggest struggle.
Anytime I wear something relatively nice my white friends go all “Ooh nice white girls clothes” or “those are really white girls boots” as if the only way something can look fashionable is if they belong to a white person. This leads me to wonder if…
I really agree with you here. I have far too many white friends and they like to joke that they are “casually racist” as if that allows them the privilege of being racist. They think that they can make racist jokes because they say that they are “totally not racist.”
I’m a transracial PoC and I get offended when they do this type of stuff. I don’t want to come out to them as someone that does not identify with their race because then I would be further removed from the people I know. I already have it hard enough as it is.
Do you have any advice for a transracial PoC like myself? I’m also racialfluid which means I don’t always identify as the same race all the time.
To begin, this is the most offensive movie I have ever seen. I cannot believe people would allow this to be shown in theaters. As an individual that does not identify as a white person and faces the same struggles as other PoC do, this movie is a mockery to my lifestyle. I did not choose to be what I am and Jamie Kennedy’s character in this movie is absolutely disgusting.
I can not stand the fact that this movie was popular for a long time and it kills me every time I hear someone make a reference to it in public. I don’t have the ability to just go up to them and tell them why they are wrong for thinking this is a good movie.
If you haven’t seen it, this movie focuses on a straight cis white male and his “struggle” with being a “black rapper”. It’s a comedy, which apparently Hollywood only makes of these types of people because the white males in charge of production wouldn’t want to give society a taste of what it’s really like to be someone that truly identifies as a PoC.
Please reblog this so I can help stop the gross mistreatment of people like me.
