i think completely pre transition trans people should be able to wear one tiny little pronoun pin and get gendered correctly every time. i think cis people should be transitioning just for the fun of it if they want to. i think you should be able to walk into any pharmacy and just buy hrt. i think that little boys should be able to sit in circles and play with dolls and paint each other's nails and make friendship bracelets. i think that little girls should be able to play with flaming monster trucks and play football and get competitive over video games. i think that arson (he/it/paw) should have paw's identity respected and treated as completely normal. i think that we should normalize neopronouns and weird genders and being weird or unusual in general. you should be able to explain your weird one of a kind xenogender to the least queer person on the planet and they should say "oh that's cool!! haven't heard of that gender before". you should be able to wear a tail in public you should be able to make out with your computer if you want i don't fucking care. i love transgenders i love neurodivergent people i love furries i love everyone outside the norm i love freaks i love nerds i love everyone.

I also think a majority of men cannot fathom that Michael Jackson--a straight, black man--could present masculinity in a way beyond machismo, aggressiveness, and domination. That Michael was soft-spoken, kind, loving, and in many ways demonstrated a maternal nature toward children and adults completely shatters the prominent ideology around masculinity. As does the way Michael presented himself, wearing makeup, wearing beautiful clothing, surrounding himself with beautiful things, embracing a childlike wonder in a world so broken. Not only did Michael's personality and appearance unsettle the locked crypt of masculinity that men and society at large bury themselves in, but the fact that, at the same time, his fans, the world, and a hell of a lot of women loved it. They loved Michael. They wanted Michael. They aspired to be like Michael. They saw him as The Man in many ways. The very traits men deem as feminine, many saw as what a man should be like, and I think that fact, to this very day, absolutely fucking terrifies those who cannot free themselves from a patriarchial world view that legitimates itself on violence and domination.

is it internal racism to consider yourself as white despite both of your parents being fully Vietnamese and you come from a whole ass linkage of Vietnamese people and have been raised in at least some of the culture?

I’m sorry if that doesn’t really count as anything but I didn’t know where else to put this out to. I feel disconnected with my own nationality and maybe even ethnicity despite me being fully Vietnamese. And I feel very alone on this part. So I just kinda consider myself to be white passing since I guess I feel more “connected” to white culture even though at best we sorta have the same skin color (?)

idk. I just feel like I don’t belong anywhere else, especially in my own culture and nationality so I just sorta stick to being “white” even though by blood and birth I am Vietnamese. You can delete this ask if this doesn’t really count for anything. I just sorta hope I’ll find more Vietnamese people like me someday so I won’t feel so out of place in my own culture.

Anon, you are of course welcome to identify yourself as Vietnamese or Asian, even if you feel more connected to white culture, even as a white-passing person (and "white passing" isn't the same as "white").

I'm not going to say this is necessarily internalized racism, because it sounds more like you're feeling a bit lost as to your identity.

You can call yourself white, if you want, but do you feel like that actually reflects your experiences, or do you feel too disconnected to identify as Vietnamese?

My best advice is to search out community now rather than hoping you'll meet other people to share your culture with. Online, in person, anywhere you can. If you're in school, see if your school has a group. There might be local community groups as well. And of course, if anyone else seeing this is Vietnamese, please let us know!

Anon, I'd recommend you trying to find the whole reason why you feel so disconnected.
