We're okay with transgender/queerness because we've stopped seeing the gender divide as actually meaningful. Once we stop seeing racial divides as actually meaningful, we'll be ok with transracialism too

Hell yes! Once we are in a word where disparate outcomes are not linked to race, then it would be acceptable to use that (or any other) particular social construct in any way that you best identify. But that is not the world today, and will not be the world tomorrow either.

As an example: say you were born in the south, but moved to the midwest. After you live there for a while, it's a normal and accepted thing to identify as "midwestern", even if that's not where you were originally from. That's an example of a malleable social construct.
