This is not a space for satire or hate against transgender people. Absolutely no racist comments or posts allowed.

Identity is personal, respect is unviversal!

This is a community for those who identify as a different race.

The term "transracial" doesn't have a clear definition yet, but we want this to be a safe space for adoptees of color and mixed-race individuals who are grappling with their identities. Others who feel marginalized are welcome to share their stories here, as long as they are coming in good faith.

Rules:

  1. Be civil, No violations of TOS. Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

  1. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive.

  2. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

Supporting transgender rights has really opened my eyes to how important it is for everyone to be true to who they are.

It’s about letting people live their lives as the gender they feel inside, not just what they were assigned when they were born. Respect and making sure people can be themselves without facing hate or discrimination.

I think the idea of being transracial is just like being transgender. It’s that simple.

If we say it’s okay for someone to live as a different gender, why can’t the same idea apply to race?

I mean, both gender and race are things that society made up to categorize people. If someone feels deep down that they belong to a different racial group, shouldn’t we respect that feeling too?

This isn’t about making light of what transgender or racial minority groups go through.

It’s just about asking if we can extend the same understanding and acceptance to others who feel their identity is different from what society expects. It’s about having empathy and keeping an open mind.

It’s all about finding that balance and learning from each other.

Identity is personal. Respect is universal!
