Controversial race figure Rachel Dolezal is back in the news.
After her fall from grace, the self-described “trans-racial” professor and former NAACP chapter president is now out with an autobiography about her saga. And in following interviews, she continues to exasperate even the liberal media by comparing gender with race.
Just days after her book’s release, in a March 31 interview with Salon contributing editor Alli Joseph, Dolezal recalled that her story of identifying as a black woman broke around the same time as Caitlyn Jenner’s “transition.” Dolezal complained that race wasn’t accepted like gender in America.

Well, you can’t easily identify race by genetic testing, while it is easy to identify biological sex by genetic testing in almost all cases.
But in another sense, race as “defined by government” is a pretty hard-and-fast rule relating to family trees, while “gender identity” is by definition not real but imaginary — “imaginary” meaning something you construct in your head, unrelated to the physical world, not meaning it doesn’t exist.
