Discussion: Do you consider "transracial" a real term?

Anvarie

“If someone can truly change their gender, why can’t they switch races, too?”

disclaimer

Is something I've seen popping up in regards to the NAACP president, do you agree? Is there a comparison between her and transgender people (someone like C Jenner received a lot of open-mindedness from the public and LGBT community alike)

If gender is a social construct can we say the same about race?

Buddy

Yes

Hi_im_new

Yes, imma a wigger, born and raised in Camden NJ. But always felt I should have been born African American.

I'm currently undergoing counseling and will start my racial transition soon. I'll meet with my doctor to start melanin replacement therapy soon to darker my skin to match my true race.

psychologically, gender and race are nowhere near the same thing.

I don't see why not.

Race is a social construct.

However, there is nothing valid about "transrace". Nothing but nonsense.

Whew. I need to go to sleep.

Wonda

Yes, I've thought about it a few times. With the way society is being so susceptive to every bit of people's sensitivities, this may as well be a thing.

I literally ought to just close this to save anyone who's serious about "transracial" being a thing the embarrassment of being exposed as completely and totally ignorant

Isn't this an opinion though?

Ya know what idk. I have trouble understanding how you can 'feel like a woman/man or female/male', but apparently you can. So maybe people can 'feel like a race/ethnicity'. Nothing makes sense to me anymore, do what you want idc. So long as its not a self hate thing. People say both gender and race are social constructs to begin with..

Yes, I am hairy Mexican but I have the soul of a Malaysian twink.

I believe that anybody is allowed to be whatever the **** they feel like/need to be.

It could perhaps be seen as a more plausible concept than being transexual, seeing as race is purely an identifier based on a greater commonality. If that shared bond is of a mindset, then why could one not choose to identify with a group of people he feels closer to?
