Considering gender is a social construct it can’t exist till a person has assimilated the information needed to create the construction.

Them figuring out where they sit inside of that construction is the tricky part.

Sexuality is hard to say, but considering observation in preferences among other species it’s likely to not manifest fully till an organism goes though their equivalent of puberty.

So in either case there’s basically no real argument that either is from birth. But also there’s even less of an argument that it’s a conscious choice. It’s a manifestation of the chemicals and/or the perception of the person. Depending on which of the two your talking about.

Now if we talking about biological sex. Then yeah your born with the bits you have. Don’t mean you can’t have them changed. Or disagree with the social expectations of gender commonly associated with those bits. Thank you modern medicine and fuck expectations!

I’m pretty sure black people are born black though

That’s something archaic. God created you so you are attracted to people with the same sex attributes as yours. You ultimately decide what to do with it. You can’t know God’s intent, my child. Maybe he created you to become as strong as a bear, but maybe you were created as bottom generator

Sorry, I’ve got to nitpick your excellent snarky comeback:

It is a mortal sin for a gay man to sleep with a woman!

Such a man isn’t committing a sin; he’s merely bi and confused about labels.

Maybe he shouldn’t have got so swole then

Yeah, I had a WTF moment too.

The Fediverse is a… Decent place.

Also there’s more.

Pro-Christian critical race theory is the last thing I thought I will encounter before going to sleep today

No, see it’s okay to be bi!

We arent even visible to the haters ;_;

And Black erasure at the same time.

Honestly, academically speaking, that is an interesting question. It probes at the heart of what race really is.

Is race how you are perceived? Then if someone darkened their skin and had surgery to take on certain facial features, sufficient to the point that people read and treat them as black, are they then black?

Is race genetic? What if a white person used hypothetical generic engineering to give themselves a genotype of someone with largely African ancestry? Their phenotype is still white, but their genotype is black. They aren’t read as white, but any children they have will be. Are they black? Will their children be? What if the genetic treatment also changes their phenotype? They now have the genes and a visual appearance that most would identify as black, but they know nothing of black culture and have lived in predominantly white communities their whole life. Are they now black?

Is race more about culture? Do you have to be raised as part of a black community to be black? If a white person adopts a black infant and raises them to adulthood in an entirely white rural town, is that child black? What if the parents are super racist and try to turn their adopted kid visibly white by lightening their skin, and they do this to the kid from birth? Is the kid still black? What about the opposite? What if it’s a white baby adopted by black parents and raised in a predominantly black community? Is that child black? What if the parents alter the child’s appearance to be visibly black, and do so from birth?

It’s honestly a really interesting question, and countless dissertations and books have been written on the subject of what exactly race is. So I’m not really qualified to answer this question. I frankly don’t know what precisely defines a person’s race. My impression is that ultimately race is a very squishy, poorly defined concept. The questions above probe the definition by investigating its edges. Another way to do so would be to consider the concept of passing (in a racial sense.)

I don’t really have any answers here, only questions. But your question, “how do you become black?” really sent me down a rabbit hole. When you take the question seriously, it really starts getting to the heart of just what this thing we call "race* really is.

Wow thats so offensive to ask. Get Out! /$

By sinning. Apparently.

Call Rachel!

Size queen with a hyperspermia fetish. Nothing wrong with that, it takes all kinds.

What I’m curious about is how do they know the size of a horse’s load? You don’t just stumble across that one day at the farm.

23:20. To be clear.

Off by a chapter.

Ezekiel had complexes about his exes ex

I’m pretty sure ICE already deported Jesus.

Maybe we should start calling them Pharisees.

Why and how would Jesus go to the USA?

This is how I became white!
