But everything you said indicates that you are not, in fact, an
actual transplant.
It doesn't just mean someone from somewhere other than New York. Lots of interesting people have always moved here from elsewhere. Nothing wrong with that.
A transplant is someone who stays essentially the same - by extension, preserving as well all of that oh-so- compelling middle America culture - even once they are situated somewhere else.
Think about a plant. It doesn't change when it gets "transplanted." It might get bigger and more obtrusive but it fundamentally stays the same.
This is the actual meaning of "transplant."
