Because none of this is based in consistent logic, it’s all power. If someone could “identify” as a minority, then they get all of the priveliges and power that entails.
It would be a way to circumvent the victimhood heirarchy.
Any ambiguity in racial heritage will be exploited because it is dictated by whoever gets to set the narrative. Zimmerman is a good example. Oprah Whitey is particularly vulnerable to a real black woman that wants her job calling it out, since women are more prone to gossipy power struggles and whitey keeping the darkie down is an easy sell.
Same reason why your sexuality is something you're born with and which CANNOT be changed, and to say otherwise makes you a bigot, but your gender is something that CANNOT be determined at birth and is liable to change on the fly whenever you feel like it and to say otherwise makes you a bigot.
This is due to some kind of defect in the brain that we still don't know how to identify, much less fix.
Is it tho? If it can't be identified it could be 100% nurture. I know the progressive crowd will always point to that one study that does a PCA on brain structure and finds MtF are closer to F than M are to F on average (and contrariwise), but if you actually look at it the MtF are in an overlapping cloud with M and far from the F and FtM (who contrariwise are in a cloud overlapping with F but on the M facing side on average) which is kind of the opposite to what the woke crowd argue. They use a linguistic trick to say "MtF are closer to F than M" by which they mean "MtF are closer to F than MtF is to M" but it's actually saying "MtF are closer to F than M is to F" and even this the original author stated could be related to brain plasticity.

Moreover, the "trans lesbians" ( autogynephiles, heterosexual males with a fetish of seeing themselves in "woman version" ) do not show the same partial feminisation of a few brain structures.
And homosexual males have the same partial feminisation of a few brain structures regardless of "gender identity".
TL;DR : Most "trans science" on brain structure is basically detecting a physiological inclination for homosexuality, and running with that to draw flimsy conclusions.
While ignoring that "trans lesbians" brainscans falsify their hypothesis.
no one believes the left is logical: They state there is no difference between men/women, and you can be whatever gender/dragonkin you want by believing you are, and yet "trans" is a thing. Those two cannot both be true simultaneously. If there is no difference between men/women and you can be whatever you want, being trans, which is a grotesque caricature imitation, is unnecessary.
The problem with the Leftists is that they harped so hard on Black Racialism, that blacks are still prepared to purity spiral on who is or isn't really black, at least in front of non-blacks. Ethiopians, Nigerians, Caribbeans, Black Brazilians, North Africans, West Africans, Urban Black Americans, Rural Black Americans, and Upper-Middle Class Black Americans have all their own ethnic/class tensions that gets conveniently swept under the rug by Racialist organizations that can't maintain order normally, and need an other to direct anger against.
Pan-Africanism and The Black Diaspora is a Leftist Racialist scam.
Elsewhere in the US, Democrats have gone as far as to claim that Hispanic is a political affiliation. Meanwhile in Europe, Italians were being classified as "Politically Black".
Rachel Dolezal is a true believer. She's only tipping the Left's hand of where they are in other parts of the world, and concerning other groups. This is why they scream that members of the race they are claiming to represent are "internally white" or "race traitors" because they disagree with Leftism.

You mean like Heels Up? She changes minorities every week. It's only white women who aren't allowed to do that.
Careful now: that's what lost Richard Dawkins his Humanist of the Year award.
Retroactively lost for an extra bit of Honk Honk.
Remember when Dawkins was the darling of the left? Pepperidge farm remembers.
The explanation is "believe it, or else".
Unacceptable? She got to keep her position in that NAACP chapter didn't she?
It's not.
You're welcome.

Finally someone with acurate knowledge and not a headful of steam and bullshit based on their feefees.

step one. extract ideas from your ass
step two. claim that your ideas are rights and other ideas are wrong
step three. use fascism and violence to force your ideas onto everyone.
Because telling men they can become women serves the goal of toppling the system, and telling whites they can be come black does not.
is basically a coin flip
It isn't.

What does it mean for something to make sense politically?
Because one would benefit her without having adverse physical effects on her body.
Like having 6 foot + men dominate them in their own sports?
