I identify as a black woman from now on.

Macklemore beat you to it

Yes, this is called transracial, there are already some people who claim to be another race like Rachel Dolezal. There are also transage people, Stefonknee Wolscht is an example - a guy in his fifties who self-identifies as a 6-year-old girl.

And don't forget trans-species, also called 'otherkin':

what about 'otherstuff'?

This is interesting. Can a transager who has been out of the womb for sixteen years identify as a 21 year old and buy booze and get into bars?

I don’t see why not , if you try to deny them who they really are then you are an agesist

I identify as a stomatolitic Cyanobacteria.

I identify as tall, good-looking and ripped. Any hot women who don't want to jump my bones are obviously subjecting me to ASD, or Actual Sight Discrimination, and they should be ruined.
