There's no such thing as "Transracial"

126. That's rather an ungenerous view of Johnny Otis.

I don't think he self-identified as black because he wanted to make a buck. He grew up in a black neighborhood and wanted to be part of that culture. The many careers he furthered among black artists is the stuff of legend.

As for Gender-Dysphoria (aka, GID), it has been a medical condition for maybe 30 years. Before that, it was a pathological psychiatric condition, and "treatment" was to force people to adjust to what God gave them: when the therapy failed, they faced ostracism, ridicule, and rejection exactly the same response we see to Rachel Dolezal now.

Lastly, the point that "A person's assigned gender is not based on the genders of their biological parents, in the way that one's own racial make up is based upon the ethnicity of their own parents" supports my position rather more than yours, imho. There is not a single isolated gene that can be found that indicates race . . . forensic science even has difficulty identifying race from skeletal remains (see for instance The Kennewick Man). This is wholly UNLIKE gender which is distinguished by an entire chromosome, and skeletal information quickly and accurately indicates sex. The measurable physical differences between the genders is much greater than the differences between the races, which is more an abstract cultural construct.

It's well-known in medical science that two parents who look white can have a "black" baby if they have a mixed race background and the genes combine in such a way as to pass on black characteristics. The process is similar to two black haired parents producing a child with red hair if the parents have recessive red hair genes. Sandra Laing in South Africa is an example of this.
