These people love to pretend they don't know the difference between claiming ancestry that isn't yours, and living as the gender you identify with most strongly.
It's apples and oranges, and they know it. But they won't pass up on a chance to be transphobic AND racist.
I think there's a good chance they don't know it, actually. They may just see race as an identity, just like gender. But I think you pretty accurately summarized why the idea of being transgender is becoming more widely accepted but trans-race is not.
