If a Person Can Be Trans-Gender, Why Not Trans-Race?
/On June 28, Not the Bee shared this article about Oli London. London is a white British person who announced coming out as gender non-binary (using the pronoun: “they”) and also as “trans-Korean.”
London made this announcement after undergoing 18 plastic surgeries to physically alter their face to look Korean. The physical appearance, with the aid of modern medicine, had been altered to reflect their true underlying identity.
The reckoning has arrived: For years we’ve been saying that if you feel like you were “born in the wrong body” then there are medical and surgical solutions to help you “become” who you are supposed to be.
