I don't know what the equivalent would be with gender, where there isn't really a culture ascribed to a gender. I guess they could talk about how they love to p/e/e standing up, or something.
Dressing like a woman, talking like a woman, presenting herself as a woman in all social and professional settings--where's the difference? Does she have the responsibility to disclose that she's transitioned? If not, then why treat transracials differently?
yeah, but in this situation u got people that are making up stories about their extended family and their cultural background. Like, literally making up stories about eating certain foods and such.
It would be like me, someone who was raised Catholic, making up stories about going to synagogue at Hannakah or something.
I guess the equivalent would be trans people saying that their families treated them as the other gender growing up? or something? IDK
My default assumption is that anyone who does a race or gender shift is probably a fairly dis/turbed person with a lot of emotional problems to work through. I try to be sympathetic. I think the dishonesty about one's past is pretty standard from such folks. I'm not sure it makes sense to parse how much dishonesty and misrepresentation is oay before it becomes abusive to others.
