Race is passed down --------- race.
IDK there is so much to unpack but yh

u kinda said nothing here babe
first of all gender and sex are defined as two different things.
secondly, race being "passed down" is completely nongermane to the conversation being held here.
race and sex are two things you are BORN into. period. from THERE, the similarities remain.
any explanation for a transgender making that decision can be applied to a transracial person just the same.
the only difference is, the societal context. a transracial person is looked at as not wanting to be a part of their race, ashamed etc. a transgendered person is looked at as expressing themselves, living in their truth. when in actuality both simply bought into what/who society says they SHOULD be based on their feelings an interests (as opposed to acknowledging that their feeling/interests are outside the societal norm for their race or sex-- and thats ok)
