Identity is personal, respect is unviversal!

This is a community for those who identify as a different race.

The term "transracial" doesn't have a clear definition yet, but we want this to be a safe space for adoptees of color and mixed-race individuals who are grappling with their identities. Others who feel marginalized are welcome to share their stories here, as long as they are coming in good faith.

This is not a space for satire or hate against transgender people.
