In this video, we examine Misha Petrov’s satirical transracial identity, the backlash it generated, and the arguments people use to distinguish race from gender. If identity is based on someone’s internal sense of self, what consistent principle makes transgender identity valid while transracial identity is considered offensive or impossible?

She was offering an invitation for them to critically analyse their stance and they failed spectacularly 😂

I identify as a billionaire but the banks refuse to accept my identity

Notice how no Asian women are hollering “racism” at Misha, who is not JUST trans black, she’s trans Asian too

There are some people who genuinely don’t recognize the irony or the satire in Misha’s videos and it’s hilarious to watch.

Just sitting here, watching the hypocrisy and ridiculousness in their arguments. It is very entertaining.

@fettuccine9896 1 month ago

the responses to her videos have been hilarious and they still will never realize that they’re playing into their own hypocrisy and stereotypes

I identify as a medieval peasant but when I attempted to pay my rent with a basket of fish, two goats, and a very nice silk shirt my landlord COMPLETELY disrespected me by demanding MONEY! Can you believe that??? It's almost as if he didn't believe me!! 😡

"I usually don't respond to women because... Patriarchy"

So you're assuming women can't handle having their views challenged or opposed? That's mysognistic af, let's be real 😆

I'd love to see You/Clarkson debate this person again, he really thought he ate last time but You/Clarkson totally destroyed his argument.

Ps: saying you're not for or against anyone and then saying one group needs to be uplifted above everyone else is supremacy. Plain and simple.

Homophobia of women = gay made me laugh, which made me stop and appreciate how laid back your videos are compared to how aggressive some other people can be. Even if we don’t agree on everything, it’s refreshing having someone just genuinely TALKING about issues people constantly yell at others about. Much love & respect

Fun Fact: Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris, experienced this level of anger from the black community when she claimed herself to be black. Let that sink in.

12:00 People obsessed with gender, conflate Sex stereotypes with personality.

Finally an ally willing to center transracial Black women, thank you for your advocacy! 🫶🏿✨

If gender is fluid because it is a human construct, then by definition ALL human constructs must be fluid. This includes age and race (time and race both being human constructs). This is the problem. These people pick and choose their definitions whenever it's convenient for their narrative. If women are just "whoever identify as such," then testicular and prostate cancers are now women's health issues. It's all preposterous. I'm 100% for people doing whatever they want with their life and their bodies, but that doesn't mean I'll affirm something that just simply is not true.

Funny thing is, race is actually a spectrum! Not just that, race is such a granular spectrum that it approches what gender ideologues think of gender: one per individual.
This "trans race" lady, satire and all, is closer to being black than any man is to being a woman.

Our girl Misha needs to make a video about how life is being born "assigned white at birth" next.

@Shadrack69 1 month ago

I remember making the same Rachel Dolazal argument years ago: if gender and race are both social constructs, then why can't Rachel be black, when in fact, race is an actual spectrum whereas sex or gender is one of the only binaries in nature. The mental gymnastics they would go through to convince me that sex and gender are two different things were quite amusing.

Straight white Christian woman here, I love you Amir! Lol I have yet to come across a video of yours that I outright disagree with. You are a reasonable, respectable person and I pray that your platform grows and more people hear your perspective and have their minds changed.

I can see a Misha and Amir collab soon lol

@macunaima81 1 month ago

People see the material determination of race (history, laws, rights that had to be conquered, division of labor due to slavery) but not of gender (history, laws, rights that had to be conquered, division of labor due to reproduction *uterus*).

That is why Misha is spot on.
