Where does the line stop?

     I meant to write this post in May. However, I got caught up with finals and moving so I'm writing it now. I would say May was the height of the whole debate about transgenders and bathroom use.
     I want to say that I don't personally care about transgenders using the same bathroom as me. However, I totally sympathize with both sides. I understand those who resist the change, scared of safety, and have issues religiously. I also understand that some people feel like they were meant to be born the opposite sex and I understand that using a bathroom with the sex they identify with is very emotional.
     It is a tough issue. I'm not sure what the resolution should be. I don't think it is as black and white as many on both sides make it out to be. My personal opinion is as follows. Why are we bending over back to make such a small percent of the population feel comfortable? Transgenders are a very small percent and there is a much larger percent of religious and parents' worried about safety for their children who feel uncomfortable about someone using a bathroom opposite of their born sex. In a weird way, by bending over back we are actually giving transgenders in a way more rights.
     That's not what this article is meant to be about. Actually what this article is about is "the line". To better explain, I need to give a little bit of back story. In May, a student in my class was making fun of Rachel Dolezal, the NAACP leader who identified as black. My professor in a half-joking-half-not way told her to not make fun of Rachel. She identifies as black and therefore she is black.
     That's what is the issue now. Where does the line stop? Why are we okay with someone who was born a male identifying as a girl but not a person born white identifying as black? Why can't I identify as a Harvard graduate? If that's how I feel then that is how I feel.
     If you say that we have to be realistic then are you not being hypocritical? If someone was born a male then they are born a male. Now unless they get a full sex change aren't they still a male? I'm looking at you Caitlyn Jenner.
