The Unbearable Whiteness Of Being An Academic

If there is so much racism in America, why do white people want to be not white? Why are they giving up their supposed “privilege”?

I heard an interview with Mike Shellenberger the other day in which he pointed out that if he declared himself to be a woman, his lefty friends would encourage him, but if he claimed to be black, they’d denigrate him. Yet (as he pointed out) he has a much more biologically in common with a black man than with any woman.

“Transphobic” Lesbians

This is getting ridiculous. If I don’t want to sleep with a guy who thinks he’s a woman, it’s not because I’m “transphobic.” It’s because I am extremely heterosexual, and have not only zero, but negative interest in physically interacting with, or even looking at male genitals. Now if it’s an attractive woman who thinks she’s a man, that’s a different story, but it doesn’t seem like a good idea to engage in sexual relations with people who are funny in the head.
