This sentiment is both horribly racist and horribly transphobic. You are using the broadening acceptance of transgender people as a cover for your deeply racist fetishization of another race and culture. Gender and Race are incomparably different from one another https://t.co/2S2HUcgZk8— River, Wayfarer 🏳️‍⚧️ (@RiverLion_) June 28, 2021race and gender are completely different, what the fuck are you on https://t.co/TmoSEfIUaZ— 🙇🏽‍♂️ (@thisisnotashu) June 28, 2021HAHAHAHAH trapped in the wrong body? Nah mate, that works with your gender but you can't suddenly wake up and change race you fucking goon. Needs a therapist not a surgeon. https://t.co/VpEvf4Jt0b— Alec (@____Alec) June 28, 2021Isn’t this literally racist https://t.co/zY6MPGmp6R— Friskblade346 @ Mass Effect Brainrot (@blade346) June 28, 2021As people consistently express their lack of approval online, Oli London continues to identify as Korean.
