In fact, I pretty regularly see people- from multiple directions- trying to disidentify with their racial expectations; some of it seems reactionary, but some of it seems pretty similar to the attitude my trans/enby friends have - "I'm better described by that group, not this"

I hope one day all the race wars end. When you boil it down race is something that happens to people as an accident of birth. It’s just random chance that someone becomes a certain race.

This obsession with ID transition is a short term fad. OK, so 1/10,000 people have screwy hormones which makes their gender ID complicated, fine. Everyone else has just fallen prey to a collective madness which encourages us to pursue something that is not meaningful.

I think you've missed a key difference in the oppression thing, which is that race (and therefore race-based oppression) is hereditary while gender (and therefore...) isn't.

A black kid has less opportunity because they grew up in a poor neighborhood because their parents were victims of racism (etc. up the family tree). A little girl doesn't have less opportunity because her parents were victims of sexism

If a person feels inside that they are a different gender than how I perceive them, who am I to say they're wrong? I'd feel the same way about a person who identifies with a race or culture different than what I'd guess based on their appearance.

Also, there's a clear biological reason for men and women to have behavioural differences while across races it's entirely based on culture/experience (almost entirely?), so someone identifying with a different gender feels more meaningful (tangible?) than a different race

James Lindsay had a really good podcast episode about why you can be transgendered but not transracial according to woke ideologically. I can’t articulate it completely yet, but there is something in queer theory that conflicts with critical race theory in some sense.

Transgenderism is self-perpetuating. Rates up 1,000s of %. So when it stops being fashionable, numbers will likely radically drop off. With race, we're going to have so many more mixed race ppl, racial identity itself is already blurring beyond meaning, outside politics.
