how does everyone feel about transethnicity?
If a transblackwoman dates a black man is it still interracial?

Transethnicity I'm not even sure needs to be a thing in the first place.
I mean to compare it to the closest deal, Transgender.
I can understand Transgender, there are biological differences between the Sexes, which causes men and women to behave different
on average, hence why Gender roles exist.
But... There isn't anything (that I've seen) to suggest that one's race has a biological difference as far as interests and behaviours are concerned. Granted, you might still find an average difference between races, but those differences can be attributed to geography (parenting culture, level of poverty etc.), not biology.
Not to mention to say if Transethnicity is true would also practically demand that we acknowledge "Cultural Appropriation" as being a thing.
Which all you need to do is look historically to realize that doesn't make any sense, because the vast majority of cultures are taken/borrowed things from other cultures.
Hell Japanese culture (one of the cultures people scream appropriation about the most) is a giant mish-mash of even older culture.
But yea, in a nutshell I feel for one to 'identify' as a different race there has to be something inherent to a race itself that can influence/alter a persons personality.
But since that's always geography based instead, so people of any race can identify under X culture easily as long as they were raised in it, the need to identify as another race seems completely unnecessary.
