Those of you who know me know that I’m openly transjapanese. For anyone who doesn’t know, that’s a transrace identity meaning that I identify as Japanese, despite it not being in my ancestry or my culture.

I made the community cuz I wanted a space to specifically talk about transjapanese identities, since they various from, say, transwhite or transblakc identities.

These are some euphorias of my transrace:

• Clothing euphoria (from wearing Kimonos and stuff)
• Food euphoria (from eating authentic Japanese food or using Japanese utensils)
• Skin color euphoria (from wearing light makeup)
• Eye shape euphoria (from imagining myself with monolids)

These are some dysphorias of my biorace:

• Facial hair pattern dysphoria
• Skin color dysphoria (skin feels too dark)
• Last name dysphoria (last name is very ethnic)

I identify as an Asian-American Japanese girl. Someday I wish for us to have methods of race transition. I’ll probably seek to lighten my skin and get monolid surgery someday
