You can identify with what you do. Gender, race, you can have one with the other.
Both are sound and work the same right.
If you don't think so, accept the challenge.

Round 1
Thank you .
Greetings to you , greetings to all readers.
Transgenderism is a system of identities concerning gender to that to each person elect to identify as any of the two genders regardless of biological makeup.
Trans racialism is a system of identities concerning "race" to that to each person elect to identify as any of the existing racial classifications regardless of biological makeup and ancestral roots.
There are reservations out there of being trans racial. One being that it's absolutely impossible to be trans racial.
But I'm taking the position that accepting the identities of transgenders due to the freedom of choice and self expression applies to being trans racial with the same standard.
That's really the fundamental explanation. Not complicated or super convoluted.
Most of my argumentation will really come out of objections from the other side.
Such as trans racialism doesn't equate.
A gender identity is something innate while electing to be another "race" is socially externally conditioned.
The racial classifications involve culture and cannot be elected the same way as gender.
Without physical makeup, just simply identifying is insufficient without the exposure and experience of the plight of a people and their history.
In other words , there's a strong possibility people will pick and choose what aspect of "race" to identify with versus all the negatives and positives.
I conclude here .
Well, there are not many trans race people.
But there are many of the trans gender people who are more oppressed than trans race people.
So they are not same. Trans gender is more valid and needs more support to be defended from brutal attacks of the bigot society.
Round 2
You say transgenderism is more valid than trans racial identification.
So do you agree they're both valid?
You wrote:
"Both are sound and work the same right"
I proved that they are not same, but one is more valid.
They are both valid, yes, but not equally nor work the same right.
Round 3
"You wrote:"
"Both are sound and work the same right"
Are you going to ask me what I mean by this?
They work the same what?
"I proved that they are not same, but one is more valid."
Obviously between gender identity and racial identity, gender and race are not the same.
So what is the same?
Selective identity.
Don't isolate out of a context .
Let's add more of what I put in the text .
"You can identify with what you do. Gender, race, you can have one with the other."
That is the same. I said nothing about not having more or less or the same amount of validity.
Just look at the topic statement again .
"The validity of transgenderism you can have with trans racialism."
I said you can have one with the other.
"They are both valid, yes,"
You agreed both are valid. The validity in one, you can have in the other.
Your position was supposed to be only one has validity while the other does not. The validity in one you can't have with the other.
You can try to argue you can't have the same amount of validity but it's moving the goalpost. I never stated anything about quantities. You assumed or read into the word "same". Same what?
That could of been flushed out first. The same validity or same valid reason or sound standard which is to identify oneself as an elective.
You can identify with what you do. Gender, race, you can have one with the other.
Since they are not equally valid, it follows that gender has priority in identifying. So there are cases where you can identify with your gender but not with your race, since if I have to choose between the two, I choose gender.
Both are sound and work the same right.
They dont work the same.
Round 4
"Since they are not equally valid, it follows that gender has priority in identifying. So there are cases where you can identify with your gender but not with your race, since if I have to choose between the two, I choose gender."
I hope you answer all these questions. I don't believe you have been answering all questions which is a part of conceding.
First question. In what cases can I not identify with race and how are you in place to dictate to me I cannot identify?
Isn't this the freedom identity given to them to elect gender identity?
This is why the validity with one is the same validity being used by another.
This is what I mean by same which you didn't acknowledge. Out of what you just said, you making a double standard. In attempt to make the validity different, you just end up designing a double standard just as you did.
So now you have to explain why can't I have the freedom to identify as a race of my personal choice while anyone else can have the freedom to identify as a gender of there personal choice.
Ran out of time. Will post next round.
Round 5
I'm valid in the freedom of choosing the race I elect to identify as just as another is in choosing a gender to identify as.
It's personal choice. Nobody else's choice to make. That's all the validity there is to it. Plain and straightforward, case closed.
Well, since its the last round, lets just end it here.
Okay, I will try to disagree.
Looks like everybody agrees with the topic.
Not to forget trans species. They are valid too.
I do think trans race, trans age and trans gender are all equally valid.
