From how I understand genetics, geneticists can’t tell a person’s race just by looking at genes and chromosomes. So race ends up being more of a cultural construct than biology. But you can tell gender right away genetically. So if that is true, Rachel Dolezal can actually claim anything she wants, and she has a better case than Bruce Jenner does.

From what I understand of genetics, geneticists absolutely CAN tell what a person's racial lineage is by looking at genes and chromosomes.
