I think the woman has a legal right to be a racist in choosing her sexual partners - there's no Equal Employment Opportunity Act for sex - and to be promiscuous too, however much we may privately disapprove. No more than "Did the victim dress provocatively?" should that enter into the question of consent.
The question is, what crime exactly did the man commit, and the first two on your list seem to be of the same order, and I'd be curious to read about cases like those and what the results were. You've also pinned accurately what's different about the twin-brother case.
Concerning "passing yourself off as being of the other gender" - what if you don't reveal that you're a transsexual? There have been some very ugly cases of transsexuals being killed on discovery of their status. (What if the woman had killed the man after finding that he was an Arab?)
