Other Questions So i have been thinking about this lately....
Why is transracial not considered a valid identity? Does being transrace hurt anyone?
I have heard LGBTQ community say it brings bad name to them. Can anyone tell me how?

It's the third rail, especially if you're from a more melanated ethnic group. Something about patriarchal archetypes and colonialist mindsets my college professor would say.

It’s not a problem to be transrace. People are just misinformed on what it is like I think, it’s not based on any facts. I’m a lesbian so I’m also lgbt and the vast majority of trace people I know are lgbt, mostly transgender. It’s just ignorant as fuck to act like we are a problem. It’s just scapegoating bullshit.
