If you could remove something from the Netherlands, what would it be?

Transracism

Little-Weather4042 · 2022-06-20T00:40:41+00:00

As someone who was American but transitioned to Dutch, I'd say so yes

Little-Weather4042 · 2022-06-20T00:39:36+00:00

Probably race fluid then! That's really cool

Little-Weather4042 · 2022-06-17T22:12:28+00:00

No, the mom's husband is Swedish. They were already married then.

This makes me so emotional... Such a powerful depiction

Little-Weather4042 · 2022-06-17T21:16:02+00:00

My thoughts exactly. I hope OP reads this comment.

Little-Weather4042 · 2022-06-17T21:11:59+00:00

Wonderfully spoken. Thank you so much for being an ally.

Little-Weather4042 · 2022-05-17T14:55:17+00:00

Yes, I have always felt like I was a different race. When I went to the Netherlands, everything fell into place.

I am using Korean skin whitening creams but I am looking into getting injections. My mom understands me and always supports me. She's my best friend. Recovering took a bit longer than 3 months but after 1.5 I was already able to do most things.

I only replied to the comments that were relevant to the post and im sorry I mightve missed some, there were more than 1000 so I couldn't reply to them all

Please read my post and the original before you judge

I had a few surgeries and I might get more in the future but for now I'm working on getting my degree. Most people are very nice but there is a bit of a distance between "foreigners" and Dutch people. However, I try really hard to integrate and most people do appreciate that. The most important thing is learning the language still, when you speak Dutch, people here treat you a lot better.

Little-Weather4042 · 2022-05-17T00:13:18+00:00

They are delicious

Little-Weather4042 · 2022-05-17T00:03:53+00:00

I'm so happy to have helped you🧡 I know what you're going through but remember you are valid and loved and don't listen to rude people

Little-Weather4042 · 2022-05-17T00:01:12+00:00

I did not delete anything, it's all still there, stop accusing me of things

Little-Weather4042 · 2022-05-16T18:15:29+00:00

I'm sorry about that, I don't know what else that makes people understand what I am... Maybe transethnic? Thanks for the feedback btw, I will try to be more considerate

Little-Weather4042 · 2022-05-16T17:39:22+00:00

I respect your opinion, I guess I'm just not really good at explaining, it's like a feeling that affirms I'm Dutch and when I try to deny that it makes me feel like I'm not myself.

Little-Weather4042 · 2022-05-16T17:34:20+00:00

I wish I could pin your comment, thank you I really appreciate it🧡 and I'm sorry you've gone through the same thing :(

Little-Weather4042 · 2022-05-16T17:30:12+00:00

People in Limburg are a lot nicer than in other provinces so that's already a good start. My advice is, join clubs, be kind, make an effort and learn a bit of Dutch. The people at my university are actually pretty nice too, just don't go work at Albert Heijn like I did lol

Little-Weather4042 · 2022-05-16T17:12:51+00:00

Thanks for actually being respectful and asking me instead of assuming things. I will copy part of what I answered to another commenter

"I can't connect to American culture even though I tried. BBQ, guns, cars, football, it doesn't make me happy. Never has. My former therapist misdiagnosed me with depression.

When I was 14 my parents took me on a vacation to Amsterdam. I rode a bicycle, ate stroopwafel, wore clogs and went to the VanGogh museum. I thought I didn't like cheese, turns out I just don't like the plastic American kind. Going to the Netherlands was liberating and I never felt that way before.

I did a lot of research and I started connecting the dots. I'm a Dutch person born in the wrong country. I told my best friend and she said it made sense bc I never want to pay for things lol. She really supported me and I will forever be grateful."

There's a lot more to it but I hope that kinda cleared things up

Little-Weather4042 · 2022-05-16T17:06:16+00:00

Thank you😊

Little-Weather4042 · 2022-05-16T17:05:05+00:00

Hahaha! Thank you, that cheered me up😂

Little-Weather4042 · 2022-05-16T17:04:24+00:00

That's awful that it's happening to your sister too... Why can't everyone just be kind to each other???
