If someone identifies as a different race....is it any different from gender?

Just saw this story on Facebook..

This woman doesn't identify as a different race she just wanted to be black, but everyone seems to be mocking her. If someone felt they identified as a different race would this be any stranger than someone who felt the same about their gender and became transgender?

Not trolling but just surprised at all the mocking that I saw people doing quite openly when most people seem accepting of transgender people.

I haven't really got an opinion on it as I find the situation so hard to imagine.

For a man to say "I feel like a woman" seems incredibly arrogant and entitled. I wouldn't dream of saying that I know what it is to be a man. Because your sex is a material reality, not a feeling.

There's also the fact that women are still disadvantaged by our sex, so for a member of the more privileged class to adopt our sex as a sort of costume is just as offensive as it is for a white person to identify as black.
