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

The concept of transracial identity is relatively new, but it's gaining increasing attention from social studies researchers and psychologists as a legitimate area of exploration and understanding. So scientists disagree with you.
But you are free to have your opinion!
You are asserting those statements as fact and providing absolutely no credible sources to back that assertion.
Which is to say you're entitled enough to presume opinions as well as races, apparently.
So you don't think social scientists are looking into it? That no scientific articles are being written about studying it? You sure you wanna stick to that statement?
If you have credible sources, accounts from credible scientists, asserting support for any of your presumptions, I don't understand why you wouldn't post them.
I have posted them, friend. But here are some for ya.
Were you under the impression I just made everything up? I mean, you are actually in a thread of an article about it. Did you think I wrote the article?!
I didn't create the word or the phenomenon. lol

You may have misconstrued some of the conclusions in some of those papers. For example, Multiracial and mutil cultural might be the same thing, but neither of those are "decided to be a different race, and nobody was mad about it" line you asserted in the comment at the top of this chain.
I haven't given any conclusions in those papers. You are just so desperate to think I am a troll, you automatically assumed that.
Scholastic researchers are studying it, and taking it seriously. Just like I said. I didn't talk about conclusions at all.
Why you so mad? Ohhh, because you thought I was just making shit up. lol
Bruh, I don't give two shits if you take it seriously or not. But it's happening. More and more people are identifying as transracial. And it will happen no matter how mad you are about it. :)
You're mad because I didn't make up the term or the phenom. And that people are taking it more seriously And that it's happening whether you like or not. lmao
Stay mad. It's still happening. So prepare to be even more outraged. :)
