Great writing. The other day, I was arguing about leaving the LGBTQIA community alone, where everyone was harping on the biological dichotomy of male and female, which oversimplifies sex. Planned Parenthood said: "There’s a lot more to being male, female, or any gender than the sex assigned at birth." Some guys didn't like having to adapt to pronouns; then this happens: "Teen arrested in murder of transgender woman,"

The bottom line is if men and women are created equal, they have the same rights of self-determination, biological reality notwithstanding. Color, as you imply, is a protected class.
This is The United States of America. This is no place for racism.
