dollarlayerIn my above example if a white man grew up in a remove village in China and he also identifies as a women, on his college application would he put Chinese and female?
Chinese is a nationality so yes for Chinese. The country and culture you spend your life in, or more generally the culture you identify yourself as a part of is what matters, not what genetic and racial characteristics you have.
And these types of things generally accept that the gender you pick is the one you identify as. You can argue against it with certain definitions, but at the end of the day a college application doesn't care if you were born with a dick or not; they're not asking for your biological sex.
Why is this at all an issue?
