Obviously we have a lot of trans people on fab, but who believes that a person can be transracial?
A white woman in America who identifies as a black woman had to step down from her role in the civil rights organisation, The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). This story first came out 2 years ago, but now is the subject of a Netflix documentary.

I have never heard of it but I suppose if you can agree that the person is born into the wrong body from a gender point of view doesn’t it follow that you can be born into the wrong body from a race stance? I think it’s a very complex situation and I personally have many different opinions on one subject, I’m like my own devils advocate I’m always questioning myself and raising new arguments (I’m not split personality honestly!  ).

"I knew a German woman who adopted Indian culture lock stock and barrel. She genuinely identified as Indian.
And what did other Indians make of her? "
Some accepted her, some didn't. It was over 30 years ago, her best friend was Indian and she had an Indian boyfriend. |

Honestly you can adopt others cultures and beliefs but you cannot claim to be their race. Ive heard of the woman your talking about and she's had surgeries to darken her skin and things of the like and most black people find it incredibly offensive, it's cultural appropriation to the max |
