If one can identify as a different sex, can one identify as a different race?

Hasn't that happened already?

If so then I am a black man. And I may move to San Francisco in the near future.

race is actually less significant than gender.

I identify as an American Indian so I can fall under the treaty of 1905 and 1906 and they can’t impose a snapper season on me!

It makes more sense than gender.

The genetic difference of race is much smaller than for sex.

It would really screw up SanFranc's repatriation plans.

Race is a cultural characteristic, based not on just physical appearances and inherited traits, but also language, religion, diet, cultural traditions and practices, etc. It's best to think of race as a social, not a scientific distinction.

Sexuality is scientific, primarily. There's even speculation within the scientific community that non-binary sexuality may be a genetic variant; a natural nucleotide substitution within the human genome.

Of course there's a social component to human sexuality; girls traditionally playing with dolls, boys with GI Joe and fast cars. But the difference between race and sex is this: race is mostly social, with scientific underpinnings, whereas sex is primarily scientific, with a strong social conditioning.
