Bottom line in regard to my post: Transgender including simply by thought = OK. Transracial including simply by thought = Not OK. My opinion is that it doesn't seem right to accept the one but reject the other. That's all.
The defect in your argument is transgender by thought. I'm sure there may be some who just decide to be that way but the greater majority do because there are physical manifestations in their bodies and or brains that bring them to that decision. In our society you pay a big price when you make that decision and the ramifications will preclude someone just willy nilly saying gee, I want to be a woman not a man.
