i hope its quite clear that i dont understand this concept
outside of the story of this white woman
and even in that story i havent seen her explain what it means to be black
(except i guess being a (supposed) target of racial crimes. that's not a black identity. thats a consequence of)
so when someone says they feel that they are in the wrong race
and e.g if embracing black, are they saying they feel they are geechee?
creole?
or are they assuming a black american identity is just skin colour?
or a maasai just likes to wear red in the savannah?

i dont understand what sovereign individuality means.
perhaps you can give some examples tranrace people describing what their dysmorphia is.

and the reason i am not equating it to the transsexual identity is because i think i understand what that means
for some its the physical, for others its the physical and societal
for others it may just be the societal (definition of gender)

>where they reject normative racial identity.

which is?
