Squaring the circle
Continuing from
Dolezal stuff, but more abstractly....
By normal standards it would appear that our ruling monsters have painted themselves into a logical corner on matters of Die-Versity.
By normal standards, the following two lines of nonsensical reasoning should collide:
(1) Race does not exist. Race is a Social Construct. Therefore we must be perfectly sure of the genetic makeup of every human being, so we can classify each human into racial categories which do not exist. The only way to create a race-blind society is to enumerate members of each nonexistent race accurately and reliably, and force the correct proportions of nonexistent races in every job and profession and subsidy, down to the second decimal place.
(2) Gender does not exist. Gender is a Social Construct. Therefore we must allow everyone to define her/his/its/ums own gender. Your genes and chromosomes are completely insignificant; the only thing that matters is how you define. For instance, if you are a male who wants to look at naked women, you can simply define as female and walk into a female restroom. Whoopsie! No, you can't do that. Or if you are a female who is tired of menstruating, you can simply define as male. Presto! No more periods! Whoopsie! No, you can't do that.
Those Whoopsies lead to the solution, the squared circle. In fact self-defined Gender is only allowed when it serves the infinitely destructive purposes of Satan. You can't self-define for your own pleasure or convenience; you can only self-define when your define helps Satan to confuse the world, destroy logic, and smash the universe.
BBC's Dolezal solution brilliantly applies the Gender define rule to Race as well. You are free to define race when it serves Satan. Dolezal's self-define as Person Of Colour is correct and unquestionable because Dolezal was loyally serving Satan. Dolezal's parents are not allowed to define her as HONKY OFAY, despite the illusion of simple genetics, because that define would have kept Dolezal out of the positions where she has loyally served Satan.
