No. This is an act of creepy, antisocial, extremely priveledged selfishness.
This is like identifying as another actual individual person. Like if you were a professional impersonator but instead of impersonating a famous person, you pretended to be the guy who delivered your last pizza.
Or pretending you belong to someone’s family at a family gathering even though every single person there knows you aren’t, because you are a complete stranger to them.
Or showing up at a native American Gathering Of Nations, jumping into a random dance in a costume you bought at Spirit Halloween, and not knowing any of the steps.
It’s an invasion of a private space in which you do not belong, to which you are not entitled. Unlike transgenderism, there is no biological foundation to ground your race assertion in. It’s completely a social construct. Declaring you’re a race is not the same as asserting a different gender, because they have fundamental different goals. Trans people are on a journey to change themselves. These “race presumers” are on a journey to force themselves down everyone else’s throats.
Declaring that social rules don’t apply to you doesn’t work. Society gets to decide how to treat you.
The unwritten rules of society and the consequences of breaking them stop normal people from doing all those things.
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.
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?!

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.
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. :)
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. :)

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?

I didn’t create the word or the phenomenon. lol
