Dr. Grande comes to the logical conclusion that to accept transgenderism, you must accept transracialism

That's sort of what I mean. You are what you grow up in. If you grew up with a black family in the US you're likely to feel more aligned with that culture. At least the concept is less nebulous than gender lol. For that I was thinking US black as they're the main ones that seem to do the black culture thing. Other places it tends to be the group. But if you're somewhere else and a Jamaican family for example adopted you you'll've grown up with elements of Jamaican culture.

Group, I would have to agree. If you grow up within a group, for sure you will become as one with the group, regardless of your physical differences.

Which is why I think the concept makes more sense, it comes down to culture. Even if you're white you can grow up in an area with another culture and assimilate to it. I do think it's complicated but if we consider the culture side of it mattering more than the looks then I'd say a fair few people can be 'transracial' just from living in an area that might have a lot of one group that you'd grow up with. You're going to be influenced at least a bit imo.

Funnily enough, transracial has actually existed as a term for a fairly long time, to describe adoptive children raised by parents of a different race to theirs. So pretty much exactly what you're describing, where they'd be raised in a culture "different" to what their appearance might suggest.

How interesting! It makes sense at least.
