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?

What? Identifying as another sex makes way more sense than transrace.

Nope! "Transracial" is legitimately not a thing. Period! A white bitch, such as myself, doesn't get to claim to be spiritually or psychologically non-white given that race has exterior presentation that affects a person each and every day (thanks to things like prejudice) that will not affect said white bitch.

Besides, since race is a social construct that relies heavily upon skin tone and biological heritage, you literally can't change your perceived race unless you can somehow make all your relevant skin cells produce the right amount of melanin - and that's also not a thing.

No, because you can't identify as a different race on the inside. Gender identity is the gender your brain identifies with. Racial identity is dependent on your ancestors' genes. It's purely physical, not mental/psychological.

Of course, the glorification a certain race's features in the media can cause people of other ethnicities to want to change their features:



But that doesn't mean they identify as another race on the inside. That's ridiculous. And if that becomes a thing...things have gone too far.

Do y'all think this is a matter of opinion or fact? Just wondering.

True, but regardless somebody can identify as it and therefore it becomes a 'real term' in a sense.

Yes. That's why there's a 50 minute video in my post. Because I posted a 50 minute video.

well

it is a fact that there are no genetic differences based on race. So that means there is no such thing as a different race. So you can't be "transracial" if race doesn't exist

So yeah it's pretty much a fact that this term isn't real to the point where you can prove it. But I mean...I guess people can identify as a different race if they want to (pretty dumb to do so though)

and I hope someone watches your video Rihinvention

Um, of course. It's just as real as otherkin, transabled, or transgender.

They could but it'd make zero sense and those words would hold no real weight.

No. The point is, you can't. If you "are" a race, it's something ascribed to you by the society around you because of your appearance. Like Monte has said, it's not a real thing. Race isn't some sort of feeling, it's an experience dictated by your environment. If you are white, you are treated a certain way by others, and you are afforded certain benefits by western society. If you are of Asian or African or Native American descent and visibly not white, you are treated differently, and you experience life's benefits and prejudicial detriments differently because of how you are treated. It's not a thing you can just "feel" or "identify as."

But they would to the person who wished to be identified that way.

Edit: y'all should just close this because this could go on for pages.
