There is no such thing as ‘transracial’, nor will there ever be. The entire idea is just a sophisticated form of lying. There is such a thing as mental illness, or claiming lineages you have neither the true association with, nor the responsibilities of.
If you’re ethnophillic, that’s a situation where you identify with or are fascinated with other peoples or cultures. But your lineage cannot be faked or invented; it is a fact of your birth and true family associations and lineage.
People who want to pretend they belong to lineages with which they have no birthline are simply role-playing. Anyone can role-play, as long as honesty is at the basis, and integrity remains intact. It is ethically wrong to claim membership in tribes with which one has no actual birth-association.
The only possible exception would be status conferred upon one by tribes who have, through ceremony, included an outsider, usually due to proof of profound relational integrity, care, and acts of valor or love.

“Tahka Kiistoonan – who are we as Niisitapi – Real People? How do we identify ourselves or who do we allow to identify us?
On spirituality, Prefer to just say kitatsimoyihkannooni than spirituality. The translation always muddy up the understanding.
Translation is always malignant – no such thing as benign translation. In our case, This is why it’s better to use the Blackfoot word.
Spirituality is a term which encompasses everything that we cannot see directly. With our eyes, directly perceive by other senses and now by our mere reason. That is spirituality in its basic meaning.
That is the sum of millions of definitions on the Internet.”
