One of these might suit what you're looking for:
It would be helpful if you were slightly more specific about what you mean by individuality, since the word can be used in a more technical way in which, say, my chair is an individual and then the way in which humans are individuals. It sounds like you're interested in various themes concerning the human self. That's a very broad area in philosophy. Two themes that might interest you are free will and personal identity. The first I don't know much about, but for the second, this volume is really good: http://www.amazon.com/Personal-Identity-Topics-Philosophy-Perry/dp/0520256425
You may be able to find excerpts from this book somewhere, but John Perry's Personal Identity is a collection of essays regarding personal identity, and a few of the topics later in the book are specifically on racial identity and, if I remember correctly, they talk about transracial identity. They also touch on transgender identity.
It's a good book. If I remember, when I get home, I can look up which particular essays I had in mind.

John Perry’s book Personal Identity is an anthology that covers some of the most important work in the field. I think that would be a pretty good start!
