    It’s racist.

    Our modern understanding of race was invented in like Renaissance (I think), and there is literally zero evidence for there being a “white brain” “black brain” “asian brain” etc.

      if you mean wanting to be white, yeah I understand it. mant trans brown people have wanted to be white for a long long time. even a white tranny. white privilege, associating passing and feminity in women with whiteness whatever. it’s desirable to have that social capital and retarded to say it’s dumb to want it.

        like yeah why wouldnt you want to be white, modern culture is white-centric. all the stories are white as fuck.

          No, it’s a fair question to posit actually. But I believe this dysphoria to be more social than biological. In the same manner that you have different social and physical dysphoria. One could desire the preferential treatment some white trans people receive. Their desired features, so far from the disgust and distate yours receives. When you see other women (or men for doods) and feel a yearning social and physical for what they have in all the layers of their sex, I can’t imagine whiteness is exempt.

          this wasn’t very throughout. I would write a better piece but I’m a sickly sammy right now. Thank you regardless

    no one actually has it, it’s just teens wanting to feel different or not differentiating between “I wish I was born somewhere better / I wish I looked differently” with actual debilitating dysphoria

      it’s very much been a thing. I imagine some people get jealous of phenotypal features (though I still don’t know what OP means by race dysphoria)

        she’s talking abt race dysphoria because there’s teens on social medias claiming they’re trans racial because they wish they were Korean so they would eat ramen and listen to kpop
