Since before she hit double digits, Alisa, 15, said she has felt a special connection with Japan. The high school student, who asked to be anonymous for fear of being doxxed online, was born in Ukraine and lives in Maryland, but she now goes by the Japanese name Miyuki and listens to “subliminals” that promise she will wake up and be Japanese. So far, she believes that by listening to YouTube videos with lo-fi music and photos of East Asian facial features while she sleeps, her vision has cleared, her eyelids have become smaller and her hair is just a bit darker.
Practitioners of what they call “race change to another,” or RCTA, purport to be able to manifest physical changes in their appearance and even their genetics to become a different race. They tune in to subliminal videos that claim can give them an “East Asian appearance” or “Korean DNA.”
But experts underscore that it is simply impossible to change your race.
“It’s just belief,” said Jamie Cohen, an assistant professor of cultural and media studies at Queens College, City University of New York. “It doesn’t ever really work, because it’s not doing anything, but they have convinced themselves that it works because there’s other people who have convinced themselves, as well.”

It seems many have already these days...
Paging Senator Elizabeth “Lie-a-watha” Warren...
Well, according to popular culture and the latest fad, it is possible to physically change your gender just by “identifying” as someone of the opposite gender.
Believing that it is possible to change your race by “identifying” as someone of another race is a logical extension of that kind of twisted thinking.
If I identify as a physicist who has found a way to exceed lightspeed, will that make faster-than-light travel possible?
If race is defined by one’s genes/chromosomes, then it is not possible to change one’s race.
And it is! An examination of your genes will show your ancestry. They can tell where your ancestors came from with a good deal of accuracy.
There is no way to replace every cell in one’s body with new ones that have a different genetic composition.
SO, it is not possible to change one’s race.
If sex is defined by one’s genes/chromosomes, then it is not possible to change one’s sex.
And it is! An examination of your genes will show your sex. They can tell if you’re a male or a female with full accuracy.
So trans ideology is full of horse feathers.
Old movie I passed for Black James Whitmore I believe.
Because no one can change their race... the bad news for 'the delusional' is there's not enough money in this for corrupt doctors to step up for the cause, and not enough power for sexual weirdos to bring them on board.
Mental illness is a terrible thing. It needs to be treated
Talking Heads
“Seen And Not Seen”
He would see faces in movies, on TV, in magazines, and in books
He thought that some of these faces might be right for him
And that through the years, by keeping an ideal facial structure fixed in his mind
Or somewhere in the back of his mind
That he might, by force of will, cause his face to approach those of his ideal
The change would be very subtle
It might take ten years or so
Gradually his face would change its shape
A more hooked nose
Wider, thinner lips
Beady eyes
A larger forehead
He imagined that this was an ability he shared with most other people
They had also molded their faces according to some ideal
Maybe they imagined that their new face
Would better suit their personality
Or maybe they imagined that their personality
Would be forced to change to fit the new appearance
This is why first impressions are often correct
Although some people might have made mistakes
They may have arrived at an appearance
That bears no relationship to them
They may have picked an ideal appearance
Based on some childish whim, or momentary impulse
Some may have gotten halfway there
And then changed their minds
He wonders if he too might have made a similar mistake
Turning Japanese is nothing. Try turning into broccoli.
One positive for the latter. If they really believe they are broccoli they can't claim any right to vote. Same for those who claim to be cats or some other non-human status. They only deserve what protection the cruelty to animal statues provide, and should be vulnerable to all the rules applicable for stray, feral animals. They might claim human Christians owe them more, but then they generally reject Christianity and we should respect those wishes.
I'd love to say the 19th guaranteed equality to males and females, but promised nothing to any other groups. I'm pretty sure those who drafted and ratified it would have claimed that, but fear too many judges would overrule that fact today.They
