Nationalities are defined by the place you born or by the origin of you parents, something which it's beyond your control and define yourself as something/someone, trans people are self-defined so it's not something outside their control.
It's like saying if I feel like someone who born in America and it's white I should be treated like it beside I'm being black and born in Africa.
I can feel and define myself as whatever I would want, but there is a big difference between it and enforcing other people to see me as I see myself.
Huh? Having fins isn't a nationality? Irish was just an example of an adjective. Not sure why you are bringing it up?
Sorta, but the statement seems to show a pretty relevant and significant misunderstanding. Trans isn't like an easily externally identifiable trait like skin color (technically an autopsy could potentially provide evidence for being trans even in those who've never taken hormones or done any gender-affirming surgeries, but like we are talking about correlates, not defining features). But like neither is autism. You find out basically by asking.
For sports, some leagues have started dealing with the existence of trans people and hormone-doping cis women by simply making sports divisions include hormone requirements. Its not really about whether the person is trans or cis though, so it means some cis women who aren't doping get excluded from cis women sports with such rules.
PS: gender and race are both just made up.
