I suffer from racial dysphoria. I'm an Ashkenazi Jew, but inside I'm Black, although some days I feel Chinese. If a man can be a woman, why should white people be locked into whiteness forever? There is no convincing argument to support one and reject the other.

Uh huh... I don't someone can be black on the inside though? It's just DNA/phenotypes. Maybe if you're basing it on stereotypes.

Also, no one here (unless you're using this to refer to TRAs) is saying women can be men and vice versa, just talking about sex dysphoria, why they have it, and advice for some who still have it.

I wasn't trying to imply that. But why is that mentality tolerated regarding sex and not race?

I don't know? Maybe because dissatisfaction to sex can be related to multiple things? While "race/ethnicity dysphoria" would be more due to racism/specific anti-ethnicities. Someone can't really just "feel black" on the inside, that's usually due to stereotypes, but someone can have a great dislike to their genitals due to puberty and the way their sex group is treated by society.

Someone can't feel like a female/male on the inside either but the way they feel (and what some would contributed how they "know/feel on the inside" but that's incorrect) via some of the reasons I stated above. Ex: Someone who doesn't like their genitals might think that's what it feels to be the opposite sex, but in reality, it's not but might be caused due to puberty, sexuality, society's expectations, etc.
