Trans…fat?

This is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever read.

No, no, trans fat was banned because it’s fucking terrible for you.

If these FA types spent even half as much time actually trying to lose weight as they do writing such specious BS they’d probably lose a hell of a lot of weight. A hell of a lot.

The AMA classified obesity as a disease because, well, it is.

Reminds me I vowed never to go to Shakesville, and am now chastising myself for breaking that vow.

Shakesville is alas its own penance.

I’m sure I’ll be accused of being a huge troglodyte, but I can’t say I really understand the difference between people like Caitlyn Jenner who claim to be* transsexual and people like Rachel Dolezal who claim to be transracial.

Is there any substantive difference? If so, what is it? What rhetorical, philosophical and sociological knots must most of the left twist itself into to assert their definitive difference?

Both are co-opting and inhabiting lived experiences that are not their own.

I fail to see the difference, really.

*I am not evaluating truth claims here. But claims precede action in this case and most others.
