So this white female professor wrote an article saying that, if you support transgendered people for many of the common reasons, it's at least possible that there are transracial people you should support (transracial meaning that a person internally feels themselves to be a race other than what they are by external criteria, as Rachel Dolezal supposedly feels). Then the article angered a lot of people, and the journal that published it apologized and said that it should have been rejected.

Anybody have any thoughts? I can't read the actual article, so I don't know how many arguments about the difference between race and gender it ignored; but if it is that obviously bad if you know a lot about these issues, it's unfortunate that the journal didn't reject it and keep the professor from making a fool of herself.
