there are no roles commonly associated with races though.

roles? a role?

what do you mean by that?

I am simply saying, "identifying as" a male/female is a construct. Human beings are what they are.

If you're a straight male, but you identify as a female, then you are ONLY identifying in a construct.

If you are gay, you are saying you have sexual attraction towards something else, and that is a real thing. Sexual attraction is not a construct, its an evolutionary trait to breed.

But being straight, but feeling more comfortable wearing a dress, means that you are only interested in the constructs we've built around opposite sexes.

Therefore, it is OK to identify as a culture or race that you are not a part of, because those are also social constructs. There is only 1 human race.
