Satirist Josh Seider produced a video parodying identity politics by claiming to be "trans-pigmented." In the bit, he identifies as a Black man despite being "assigned white at birth" and accuses a Dollar Tree cashier of "dead skinning" him.

Senator Elizabeth Warren is actively courting black trans and cis women as a core constituency for her 2020 presidential campaign.
