I was born a cisgender white male. However, I’ve always felt more like a Chinese lesbian and now identify as one. I have not had any surgery, but if I do, I intend to fully transition and have plastic surgery to make me look authentically Asian. Right now I refer to myself as caucAsian until I fully transition.
I don’t have any issues, but many in the trans and gender minority community have not been very receptive to my identity. According to them, being transracial is not real, and that your racial identity cannot be changed in the same way gender can. I don’t understand how one can dismiss racial dysphoria!
Has anyone else had issues with not being fully accepted by the trans and gender minority community? Many say I should just be a lesbian, but I feel a true affinity with the Chinese culture. I think I was Chinese in a former life. I remember as a small boy seeing the Indiana Jones opening and knowing this was my destiny.
Any advice is appreciated!
