Can You Be Transethnic?

[Epuration]

I know some white as Casper South Africans who used that to their advantage

Yo wtf, you are triggering me by calling some poor albino black man a white man. This is very offensive to who I am as a white male.

Yep.

I think she's a 15-year old socially dysfunctional girl who has emerged herself way too much in anime. I think she's as scientifically literate as most 15-year olds and has been filling her head with the Tumblr approach to identity.

Either that or I call Poe's law. Well in any case that's pretty much textbook example of weaboo. Oh and such a lovely wall of text. I wonder how people can type such massive texts without using at least tiny bit of paragraphing.

Dear lord, please tell me that poll is the result of trolls..

I know where this thread will go

On a more serious note:

I can see transgender as something that happens. Being transethnic or transabled... yeah, no. Better see a shrink about that.

There is a girl on reddit who has come out as a transethnic Japanese woman. You can read her story below:


Here is the full reddit post, I recommend you read it because it's written so beautifully

This post brought a tear to my eye as it was so emotional. Do you support Yuki too, or do you believe its impossible to be naturally transethnic?

Hahaha! She's 16! She's desperately trying to fit in. She'll grow out of it. She doesn't fit in with her own culture so she adopts another one to try and fit into that one. This is such typical teenager behavior that I it laughable anyone would care about it.

I wonder wherre all the transethnic Zimbabweans are?

Teenage girls write like that.

Are you calling people that are transethnic liers and trolls? That is disgusting behaviour. We need to embrace the way they were born.

It's scary that she felt the need to commit suicide because of this.

[Feali]

Be whatever or whoever you want to be but don't think you're special because of it.

[Primalthirst]

This seems a pretty fair troll. But it's actually something I've been thinking about for a few months. If someone genuinely believes they are something, aren't they? If so, where is the line that makes them mentally unwell?

I dobut the post on reddit is genuine. So what's the harm not being serious in my own answer?

TL;DR: "and I am almost 16. "

[Dsonsion]

In all fairness, that is very Japanese.

[Cerilis]

Wait, so is she of Japanese heritage but was brought up in the US or something and this is her real name or what?

[nextormento]

The Japanese are pretty xenophobic. They aren't going to accept some 16 year old white girl from Alabama as one of their own. They tolerate tourists but not permanent residents.

Well then we need to teach the Japaneses to not be such bigots.

We don't need to embrace them. They need to embrace themselves. We have these fine jackets that can help them with it...

Lol harsh

But true.

I started referring to Japan and his people by using ‘we.’ I had developed enough self-confidence in myself because of anime to believe I deserve to belong to such a perfect place

Poor girl. I used to watch a lot of anime too when I was a teen but completely lose yourself in that? Sorry, there's a lot of bad parenting going on there...

[Zatheyll]

Wh-what did I read.

No, she's not transethnic. She's not Japanese. She can be an expat and go live there, and all the power to her (I greatly respect people who do that), but she'll be an expat and nothing more. She won't "magically" become Japanese.
