Transracial

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

I don't give a fuck. Be whatever you want as long as you aren't an asshole.

Telling a group of people you belong to them now, and they don't have a choice even though you apparently do, counts as being as asshole.

That's your opinion. Plenty of people said, and still say, that about transgender people as well. So you have plenty of icky company in your thoughts and statements. Good job!

The people who say that about transgender people are wrong. Transgender people are trying to change themselves. Assholes like you are trying to force yourself on others. It's fundamentally selfish. It's an act of extreme entitlement and the reason is obvious if you have any empathy: The people you are choosing to identify yourself with don't have that same privilege, do they?

And racist bigoted assholes like you have no clue what you're talking about. Keep crying. We'll keep living our lives and laughing at you. Thanks! :)

Getting called racist by someone posting that they want to presume membership in other people's races is a new one.

Getting called bigoted for pointing out that maybe you don't understand the difference between deciding you're entitled to the collective identity of a people and the struggle a transgender person has to go through simply to exist is incredible.

I'm actually impressed that you've convinced yourself that was a win while sticking a 2/10 landing (at best) on those mental gymnastics.

Because you are a racist and a bigot. :)

Good luck with your "community" of one. I hope a trans person never has to deal with you telling them their journey is as trivial as the color of their skin.

Thank you! I hope no one has to deal with just how much of a bigot and racist you are. Byyyyeeee! :)
