Hi, hello!! I’m starting to think I might have some race dysphoria? I kinda thought on it and then realized… I don’t know anything about race dysphoria! So I was wondering if someone could help? What’s race dysphoria like?
I get dysphoria around my skin color. For years I’ve felt it too dark, and I’ve avoided the sun in order to not get tan. I also have always had a habit of getting makeup lighter than my complexion.
I also get eye shape dysphoria, and have always wondered what it’d look like to have monolids. I have a friend who suffers badly from this.
I also get facial hair pattern dysphoria. As a transfem my facial hair already gives me dysphoria, but the shape of the facial hair when it’s there is very typical of my bio race, which gives me dysphoria.
My last name gives me dysphoria since it’s very ethnic.
I hate being referred to as white.
Etc.
Ohh, yeah, I think I might be Transrace!! Specifically TransJapanese! My name kinda bothers me a lot and I also have a lot of, what I’ve been describing as “culture envy” because I wasn’t born in Japan and didn’t grow up in the culture.
