Well to me your body has a sex but the mind is just a mind. So you should act accordingly to what your body is.
And what do you think about people born with 2 different sexes?
They are intersexed. Very rare. I think people should act however they want. But I'm sorry, I'm not going to accept when they say something they are not. If someone is born caucasian, they are caucasian. If someone is born male, they are male. They can act however they want, but they are what they are.
Yes, we are what we are and... we are not at the same time.
Life is not "this" or "that". It's not black or white.
What defines us ? If I could take your living brain and put it into an asian body, would you consider yourself asian? Are you your brain or your body? Does your consciousness have a sex?
You can't put someone's brain in someone else's body. It's never been done. It can't be done. You can't wire the brain into a different body. So I'm not considering that. The brain and body go together. Yes, you can replace parts. If I get a heart transplant from a black doner, I'm still white. I still have the white DNA. I still have the male DNA.
I'm not talking about whether it is possible or not, I'm talking about it being theoratical. There's not need for it to be possible just for you to put yourself in a context where it is possible and happens to you.
So you're saying that you consider the brain the main thing defining your ethnicity? Even if you switch body? But what is a "white" brain? There's no such thing as a white or black or asian brain. This is only a culutural thing and is learnt while living, not something that defines you from the beginning.
You seem to have trouble with imagining scenarii so I'll give you a more realistic one; You can raise a blind white person in a black family and make him believe he is black his whole life, he has no way to know that his body isn't.
How many genders are there?

So a Caucasian can identify as black? (Which does happen).
