And the response it prompted from some in the Academic community.

First, here's the definition:

Transracial: The quality of being transracial, or identifying as another race than the one that one was born into.

You were already Chinese and benefited from it, so affirmatively, I demand to be Chinese until we have equality, which means whatever benefits I used to have get added with yours.

The article is “In Defense of Transracialism” by Rebecca Tuvel, an assistant professor of philosophy at Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee. In the paper, Professor Tuvel takes up the question of whether the considerations that support accepting transgender individuals’ decisions to change sexes, which she endorses, provide support for accepting transracial individuals’ decisions to change races. She defends an affirmative answer to that question.

The result has been an eruption of complaints from a number of philosophers and other academics, expressed mainly on Facebook and Twitter. Among the complaints is the charge that the paper is anti-transgender.

The "eruption of complaints" against the article isn't that it's clearly nonsense, the "eruption of complaints" is that it is "anti-transgender".

Just piling layers and layers of stupid on top of a foundation of stupid.

The tide needs to be turned against transgenderism. It is just as ridiculous as transracialism

Nonsense, I want to use this for a promotion, after all as someone who self-identifies as a gay Muslim Hispanic woman I should fill multiple quotas for hiring/promoting "minorities". Just because I physically appear to be a white male is irrelevant, right?
