There’s a grand total of one Whole Foods in Brooklyn; hardly indicative of a wave of gentrification. It is gentrifying at a rapid clip, but making this as if there’s a WF on every corner is a tad disingenuous.

This seems to be in poor taste.

Rae, you should review new episodes of Twin Peaks. I’d love to hear your thoughts. So satisfying so far, imo.

Cool! In 2060, the store will remain a static, historic reminder of 2017 construction methods and architecture, due to the inability to upgrade anything inside the building.

Mixed race families do experience very real issues. Which is what “transracial” used to mean.

Honey, you don’t get to choose what’s real and what’s not. Give this 10 years, you guys will accept this too.

Wearing a military uniform does not constitute stolen valor. Stolen Valor is very clearly defined here:

And there’s literally millions of people who think transgenderism is fake. And they’re wrong. Maybe you are, too.

Rich and famous people thinking that a shallow, unrevealing look at a small and carefully curated subsection of their lives is interesting is nothing new,

How do you know that transracial people don’t have to endure the same feelings of being in a body that doesn’t belong to them as does the transgenders? She is still a woman regardless of her race. She will still have a female reproductive system. She will still have a menstrual cycle, she will still eventually go…

Oh, it’s liberal humanist dogma collapsing on its own contradictions.

Is there a universal standard for when someone is transgender? If so, then replace “gender” with “race.” (And no, there is no universal standard for transgender. There is far from universal agreement on the matter) Before there was (what you call) a universal standard for transgender, did transgender exist? Hypocrisy

uhhh caitlyn jenner said she felt like a woman because she liked to wear nail polish

OK. So transracial does not exist because they do not experience systemic oppression? Try to map out the logic there.

So basically it’s up to you to decide whether their explanation is good enough to be real. Does the same thing work for transgender? Do their reasons have to pass muster according to others? Hypocrisy

Hmmm.. Transgender is justified by brains being hardwired for a certain gender? I thought gender is a social construct. Can’t have it both ways.

Its simple. Transgender is believed to arise from a difference in the wiring of the brain vs. physical anatomy. More explicitly, one can be born with a brain hard-wired like a male and the anatomy of a woman.

But there is no such “hard wiring” for ethnicity, and more specifically, our culture. Culture is usually…

This has me wondering if I could buy Paxson’s house for $5 by being the only person to make an offer.

The video relating to trans racial vs trans gender was added after my comment

I see where you’re coming from, but what is black culture? So often, African Americans tend to only think in terms of the US and how we define things and often fail to acknowledge the varied experiences of blacks around the globe. My point is how do you define black from a global perspective.
