Leaving aside whether it's truly fair, a large part if why people view these differently is that changing you gender identity (especially if it involves surgery) is seen as far more drastic than claiming a different racial identity (especially if it does not involve surgery), so it's easier for people to accept that trans people are coming fom a place of real need, the need to not be the gender they were assigned at birth or have the body they were born with, while people wanting to change their race will be met with more suspicion. Given the "if you're not oppressed, you're the oppressor" talk we see online sometimes or the fact that some people feel any opportunity or benefit open only to certain groups that they don't belong to is horribly unfair and oppresive, even if they are more privelaged to start with, it can be easy to see why claiming a new racial identity could be done for the wrong reasons and lead peope to question if right reasons even exist. (Yes, there are probably people on tumblr convincing themselves they are trans because they want attention, but how far are they going to go with that?)

Can something simiar to the dysmorphia experienced by trans people exist for those who want to change their race? Maybe. That's something to study.
