Race is an immutable characteristic based on ancestry, gender is a societal construct based off of self image that idiots like this conflate with sex.

This gal is just showing off that she doesn't understand what gender is without making anything approaching a reasonable comparison and she should be laughed out of showing her face in public.

Lots of knuckleheads think that gender is immutable as well.

Race is also a social construct that you are now confusing with ethnicity and/or genetics.

Race is a social construct, the Irish weren't considered white until fairly recently.

So if someone can change their gender, they should also be able to change their race?
