"identifying that way is invalid" makes zero people not identify that way by the way

factumconsang(uinamorus)

a term for somebody who identifies as consanguinamorus, but only in the context of factkin. (OR transperson/factive, and/or any term to describe one who identifies as another person.)

extra flags:

coined by myself, shuichispulse! (to my knowledge.)

flag colors don't have anything specific meaning, but they are based on a mixture of the factkin and consang flags.

"you can't identify as transrace, you haven't experienced the same discrimination that people of that race have!"

...buddy if types of discrimination is what defines race to you, i am seriously concerned for what you think about people of other races.

if you have ever dyed your hair or tanned your skin or gotten piercings or tattoos those are transids by the way. just letting you know.

explanation below cut

my reasoning for this comes from the semantics of the prefix trans and the word identity. your identity is just something about you.

and if your identity is just something about you, the aforementioned body mods can be part of your identity. for example, i'm transpinkhair. it's not in my id list because i don't like the clutter, but i am. i used to not have pink hair, but then i really wanted pink hair, and i dyed my hair pink. now that doesn't suddenly make me cispinkhair in the same vein that medically transitioning from, say, male to female, does not suddenly make you a cis female. i hope i'm making sense here.

but anyways, it's a transid because it represents something that was previously not part of your identity but is currently. therefore, if you've ever really wanted to get piercings, you were transid then, and if you did get them, you're still transid.

that's all. hope this made sense. i am on so much ritalin right now. (prescription in case anybody is concerned)

i hate when antis threaten to tell a paraphile's close family about their attraction and then pull a, "if it weren't bad, you wouldn't be worried" card.

being homosexual used to be "bad" too. even now, people are kicked out of their homes because someone outed them as gay. it is literally the SAME THING. you are using homophobic rhetoric whether you like it or not.

resisting the urge to mark myself as asian when filling out job applications is so hard.

on top of that, the language they use just sounds... so pro trace. they always say "what race(s) do you identify with?" or something. based on that language, i COULD mark myself as asian, but i know that's probably not what they mean.

another complaint i have is that they often restrict the term "native/indigenous american" to those with official connections to their tribe. which always irks me. i know very well that i am ojibwe, but i do not have any means to prove that. i'm not technically "part" of a tribe, and i live outside of a rez with my white dad. because of this, i literally cannot call myself mixed white and native. i am just white to them.

i'm really unsure if i'll ever be accepted as a real native. it's really saddening.

p.s. to anybody reading this who is transnative, i love you. even as a cisnative, i understand your struggle. anti trace bigotry hurts everybody, not just trace people. you are a real native, no matter what anybody says. this land is your land.
