In all seriousness, can one of our progressive IE brothers succinctly articulate why sex is subject to the whims of delusion but race is not?

Probably not.
It would take some real growth on your part and a "progressive," or advancing understanding of life. Love you man, but I just don't see the open mindedness and resultant growth.
Here goes anyways. Gender is an inherent personal identity with a physiological component and is basic to each of our personal identities, and is found deeply in makeup of our personality.
Racial identity is very much higher up, more in the social, not fundamental individual arena. Consequently, who we are is by in large formed before we lay on racial, (or class) identities.
In other words, we all are either boys, girls, or not sure, at a much earlier age than we are truly cognizant of whether we are black or white.
That is how everyone easily survived when the white people who for generations had claimed to be descendants of Thomas Jefferson sued the black descendants of Sally Hemming, when they asserted that they were also.
After a huge law suit, much money spent, and some really comprehensive, cutting DNA testing, it turned out that all the (black/black looking) descendants of Sally Hemming were descendants of Thomas Jefferson, and none of the white looking folk, who had been hanging on Jefferson's name for generations, were.
Not one of those folks, white or black had any ambiguity (that has been reported or observed) of sexuality; black or white, they all were readily identifiable as men or women.
So, sometimes ones "race," and remember that "modern racial grouping" is an entirely arbitrary fiction made up by the most pretentious, arrogant, officious, white men ever, those who claimed to be English. Not only are their hypothesis and premises unclear, but the divisions they observed do not remain clearly genetically expressed.
But, since racists, who identified 'tendencies' of different races were so criminally stupid, inept, ignorant of any facts, and unconcerned with the truth, we can not find a simple behavioral expression absolutely based on race.
Even though the main legacy of these eugenics-based nincompoops, is the same muddled thinking today, even though it has been disproved in its entirety. I guess the average person still believes their skin color makes the first fucking bit of differences as to who they are, and therefore how they mint act,
We can however find many different behavioral expressions based upon gender.
I am surprised, frankly, that some of you found the right thing to poke, for your own gender preference, that is, with this kind of general lack of understand of the way the world works around you. Best of luck with all of that!
PS. The only thing I will add after viewing the posts to this thread while I was leisurely preparing my original post is that there are some incredibly incorrect statement being tossed casually about.
I won't even comment about the race stuff, much of which indicates (speaking of brain chemistry) that some individuals are wired to a 'tribal only' view of the world.
As far as gender, which is the plateau when speaking of modern humans, it is more than just genetics, and chemistry.
Talking about any of this with certainty, armed with nothing but a high school or college misunderstanding is foolish. I found a really good paragraph that shows the folly :
Humans, as well as some other organisms, can have a chromosomal arrangement that is contrary to their phenotypic sex; for example, XX males or XY females (see androgen insensitivity syndrome). Additionally, an abnormal number of sex chromosomes (aneuploidy) may be present, such as Turner's syndrome, in which a single X chromosome is present, and Klinefelter's syndrome, in which two X chromosomes and a Y chromosome are present, XYY syndrome and XXYY syndrome.[1] Other less common chromosomal arrangements include: triple X syndrome, 48, XXXX, and 49, XXXXX.
