have race dysmorphia?
For example, why do you never hear about, say, a Chinaman who is convinced he is Afro-Caribbean and attempts to change his identity?

and feel they are in the wrong body, a Chinaman may claim he feels he should look black.

as they pay for "it" themselves.

has a cock. Whereas with a chineser pretending to be black, your right-on instincts would probably be to call him a racist first.

Which is doubly frustrating as Berni's mother's vagina is enormous.

I also don't believe it's set in stone. It's actually a fairly recent phenomenon that we assume it is. Culture and fashion make a huge difference - look at Ancient Greece where there was no stigma to homoeroticism and therefore much more of it. Homosexual and heterosexual are descriptions of acts, not people.

stereotype transrace as well. And the extent to which this is socially constructed is fairly self-evident as well.

My hair is brown, my beard is red (well, grey these days), my eyes are blue. Those are all characteristics that someone who wanted to look like a northern European male could aspire to. However, if someone has blond or red hair or hazel eyes, those would do just as well as typical of a northern European white male.
The point is that there are groups of racial characteristics rather than any particular ones.

Quite correct though, of course. The r's are honest chaps but they do need discipline.

Everyone has to accept some objective facts about themselves. The notion that people are free to define themselves is false.
I could say I feel like a 22-year old Jewish woman who weigh 53 kg, but in reality I am a 37-year old white man who is horribly out of shape.
I can try to ignore these facts, but to ask others to ignore basic facts and recognise me as the person I would like to be creates some obvious problems.
Should 15-year olds be allowed to vote if they feel 18, if I feel Female can I claim maternal leave or get free entry on ladies' night. If I feel British can I get a British passport?
Your identity is the legal basis for a lot of your rights and responsibilities and for that reason it is not only up to you to define who you are.
