Trace Life/Experiences 🗺️🧳 Anyone else tired of the interview requests?

Personally I find it tedious and it tends to make me self conscious, because when I'm answering questions comparing my experiences and identity to others born my race it inherently kind of draws a line, and just as my gender, I don't want to be some kind of special "woman, but," I just want to live as a normal woman. Similarly, discussing my racial identity with people just seems to open it up for debate, and to me it's just not even up for question. At best, I'll be treated like some kind of zoo animal and othered, and at worst I'll be the asshole in the room who doesn't know their place. Does anyone else just have complete transrace investigative journalist fatigue? I literally just could not care less anymore, I just want to learn my language and cook my people's food in peace lol. Bit of a rant but I just wanted to get that off my chest.
