I’m gonna try and level the same benefit of the doubt that I wish people would give us: this would be a matter between a patient, their community, and their health providers, and if transition would in fact improve someone’s quality of life to the extent that gender transition does, I wouldn’t oppose it. This is the same conclusion I came to about transabled identities once I thought about it for a while.

I’m skeptical of it in concept, but it’s not really my place to cast judgement as someone not familiar with the experience (also white) and I’m sure someone willing to come out as transracial is going to hear a lot of arguments against their existence already. they probably wouldn’t need one more from me.

Tbh, I’d honestly just be really interested to talk to them about it to the extent they’d be willing. I haven’t heard from anyone I can trust is being earnest and genuine about it but I won’t assume they can’t possibly be out there. I can’t think of a source of dysphoria for transracial people that wouldn’t be steeped in false racial hierarchies dreamed up by white people, but just maaaayyyyybe someone out there has a different experience. No way to know without hearing from em directly I guess is my point.
