Couldn't you say this to any trans-gender person?
What's the difference?
Transgender has a biological basis. There is a difference between men and women that is objective. There is no known mechanism for a human to be born with the non-biological, virtually non-hereditary cultural characteristics of another 'race'. You've said several times that you don't exhibit any physical traits of 'Asian's', so it must be the cultural attributes you are referring to, though you've been oddly unwilling to explain just what it is you identify with.Note that, having not been raised in that culture, you can only respond with steretypes and not true experiential knowledge of it.
There is very little morphological difference between humans born in differing geographical locations, but there can be massive, sometimes insurmountable cultural differences. For you to have been born an "asian" (from where- India, Sri Lanka, China, Indonesia, etc.) would mean that there existed an objective, biological asianess that could be quantified and described, that was present in human populations from our inception and was divorced from geography. But it literally never happens that Asians are born without input from asian genes. This is because the whole idea of "asian' is a human invention (a cartographers whimsy or whatever 1000words said) and only began existing quite recently. Furthermore, we know that, unlike gender, arbitrary race distinctions evolved relatively recently. The nuances of gender expression have taken millions of years across species to coalesce. Human racial distinctions simply haven't.
Or are you identifying as the "Greek asian" or an Asia-minorian of Roman times?
You don't need to answer anyones questions, but if you are unwilling to, then you know people will just speculate. Its really hard, with your unwillingness to expand on your definition of this quality you hold so dear, to not assume you are actually just trivialsing the situation of transgender people. You've mentioned that you don't wish to be mocked, and I understand that completely and would not want to do that, but it actually sounds a bit like you might be doing the mocking. Are you able to explain this a bit?
