“I do think a more complex label would be helpful, but we don’t really have that vocabulary,” Dolezal told The Guardian. “I feel like the idea of being trans-black would be much more accurate than ‘I’m white.’ Because, you know, I’m not white . . . Calling myself black feels more accurate than saying I’m white.”
So WHY NOT 'trans-black' or 'trans-racial' when there is 'trans-gender?'
Of course, I deal in reality- so both are equally just as delusional to me.

One was NOT naturally born a male or female and decides to "BE" something else- the other was NOT naturally born a certain race and decides to "BE" some other race. How're those two delusions different?

Thunderbunny, look up gender dysphoria before you go around shooting your mouth off about stuff you don't even understand and shitting on an entire group.
In my apartment building lives a Negro (It's a bit ridiculous to call him black, because in Russia, black is considered an insult)., who looks as if he had just arrived from Kenya. Nevertheless, he is completely Russian, despite the color of the skin.
So, does she have a negative body image disorder or body dysmorphic disorder? You'll notice those are different issues than having a form of dysphoria. Dysmorphic disorder is a person disliking of some part(s) of their appearance. Disliking one's skin color in favor of another falls into that category. But she could almost be called Mulatto in appearance and not even black. Besides, she's missing a whole host of other traits that define a person as part of the African race in appearance.

Here's a trans person's take on gender dysphoria verses negative body image. It involves the sense of one's self.

Yeah, people totally randomly decide one day to be something that still carries an immense social stigma thanks to widespread bigotry, frequently ostracizes the individual from family members, comes with a massively increased risk of physical/sexual assault, and has a shockingly high rate of attempted/successful suicide! Sign me the hell up!
