This can't be serious, and this also shows how you can't be "trans race".

Also, while the history of plastic surgery might make this more unlikely, remember to not rule out the possibility that this may be a Trump supporter attempting to make the LGBTQ+ community look bad.

Ethnicity is not the same thing as gender. You are either born in that location or are a descendant of a person born in that location.

He’s clearly not well psychologically. But I don’t care. He can do whatever he wants with his body. Ultimately it’s up to Koreans to either claim him or not.

This has to be a larp/ troll/ CIA..

No. Just no. Do not even try to compare gender and sexuality to this idiotic bullsh!t. Not only is it ignorant af but it also undermines the struggles of trans and queer people.

Unfortunately this is where a lot of transphobes in particular make arguments as to "what's next" and then **** like this happens and it only reinforces their beliefs.

They make fun of him a lot on social media but not in a too rude way koreans are never extra.

To be honnest so many kids / 15/16/17 yo people here in France dream to live in South Korea and looks like Korean Idols it's really scary how K-Pop is starting to brainwash people.

But it can be said the same, you are either born with female anatomy, or male anatomy, uterus, womb, testicles, penis, and the whole machine in the body, but then they recreate at least the outer part of it. Although we know there's a gender dysphoria in the brain, who knows if people who think they are certain races also don't have any dysphoria or any type of mental condition as well?

Thank you. Kinda an unpopular opinion.

But you can use pronouns such as bat / bat self and I identify as a bat, and nobody *no pun intended* will bat an eye... I just think the conversation about cultural appropriation is 100% propaganda design to divide people, instead of unite.

Culture should be shared, cherished and loved. I personally would not give a single flying **** if someone decide to identify as my nationality and country. You do you, boo! I would actually laugh and move on with my life.

Old London is 100% a troll equivalent to Trisha Paytas. He knows how to provoke a reaction & how to monetise it.

Also why not just move to Korea and apply for Korean citizenship? Additionally, his Korean is terrible. I watched a video of it. So bad.

He must have at least some narcissism in him with other deep issues. It reminds me of the british person who started as Barbie Ken, then got bored and said now Im just a Barbie woman doll. I mean you can do whatever you want it's ur life u live it how u want to, thats my opinion

This is insanity/stupidity, there’s no other explanation.

Trisha and Oli London are deeply narcissistic, you are correct.
At the same time they suffer from immense attention ***** syndrome.
On top of that they are emotional manipulators.

Do you remember Trisha making fun of non-binary people and people with mental disabilities?
Not to discredit her, but after getting cancelled online, Trisha came out as non-binary and schizophrenic.
Now her past is no longer problematic. How can she offend non-binary people if they themselves are non-binary?

The way people are going to use this to invalidate transgender people

Gender is a social construct though, and transgender individuals in particular have felt the lines drawn between what is "for girls" and what is "for boys" to be not equivalent to what is their truth.

I don't think it's fair to say it's a disorder, despite the fact that I think many professionals label it as gender dysmorphia. And if so, it's because of our society that these people feel the way they do. Especially since things are marketed to males and females as early as before birth. Clear lines are drawn into what is acceptable for boys and what is acceptable for girls (toys, interests, hell - even personality traits) and if you don't fall into those lines, because they are engraved into our brains, you are bullied as a child and into adulthood.

It's my take that gender shouldn't be a thing at all, but given the fact that we live in a society, social constructs exists and thus so does gender and for some it is very limiting and can be quite crippling. Look at how many masculine presenting and identifying guys struggle with their masculinity alone. And all the more feminine men who still identify as such. With people who identify as their birth assigned gender having these issues, imagine how difficult it is for those who don't identify with their birth assigned gender.
