Damn, I’ve been wanting to write one of these for a long time but with Japanese instead. You did it better than I ever could though, so kudos!

Or should I say, bon travail!

If transracial ever became a thing you better believe the Japanese and Koreans would get an influx of creepy incels... as the lesbians are now

I don't understand why transracial isn't a thing to be honest. If we allow self-identification to override reality in this instance (we obviously don't but you get my drift) then there is literally no reason why we can't allow transracial people to identify however they like, or 'transabled' people to identify how they like either.

There is actually a theory gaining some ground in academia called racial formation theory.
