#transethnic

symbols / flags ( top to bottom , left to right ) : trace / dia - racial , trans - gender , trans - species , trans - abled , genital autonomy , trans - body , trans - cultural , trans - plural , trans - age jellyfish , trans - harmful safety pin / trans - harmed paperclip , trans - age dragon ( as some older beings don ' t resonate with the jellyfish )

I beg transrace beings to learn the difference between race , ethnicity , and nationality .

german is not a race . japanese is not a race . zimbabwaen is not a race . saudi is not a race . cherokee is not a race .

these are nationalities ( the country one has citizenship in ) and ethnicities ( the culture originating from this country ) .

however , white is a race . asian is a race . african / black is a race . native american is a race . these are legal markers and social constructs used to categorize beings by their physical features and social qualities .

get it right .

sincerely , a cis / natal black transpolish .

slip into a mindset where it’s okay to not have that language fully figured out, where it’s okay to be experiencing things for the first time. you’re a blank canvas, slowly being shaped by your culture like a child would be.

i like to listen to japanese bedtime stories while i regress 🥹

Whether you can't transition because acting on your transID triggers you,

Or because it's physically impossible,

Or because it's too difficult,

Or you don't want to transition,

Or you can't afford transition,

Or transition is too dangerous,

Or you won't transition for another reason,

Your identity is just as real as any other cisID or transID individuals!𓏲 ࣪₊♡𓂃 You don't need to transition, you already are your ID. Don't forget that! (づ˶> ◡ •˶)づ♡₊⊹

Transopinion individuals who don't really hold that opinion, transemotion individuals who can't feel that feeling, transattraction individuals who don't feel that attraction, translingual individuals who can't learn new languages, transmentalillness individuals who aren't comfortable acting out the symptoms, transharmed individuals who don't want to experience that harm, transharmful individuals who never want to hurt anyone or anything,
