Man uses tan injections to change his race

I think for trans people, even gay people or non "cis" people, they have a brain chemistry that makes them the way they are, which is why people that hate non-binary people consider it a type of mental illness.

I think the argument against it being a mental illness is that people can still live productive lives and function as a part of society, find love with other like-minded people. While a mental illness is self destructive, has a negative impact on the afflicted life, and can even lead to death. The only reason a gay person or trans person would commit suicide however would be because society would not accept their sexuality.

So then is it up to society to decide whether or not it's a mental illness? I bet there are more concrete ways you could find out whether or not it's a mental illness that is destructive to their well-being, or just a type of sexuality that determines the type of people they are attracted to.

For this guy that is transracial, it seems like there is something in him that is rooted in violence, superiority of one race to another, which ironically makes him a racist. His idea of black seems to be related to the Black American culture that surrounds the race, but he is entirely focused on the actual physical aspects of being black. Unlike trans, homosexual people, I don't think this is a case of sexual identity. Instead he has an issue with the cultural identity that does not fit with the 'race' he was born as.
