So of course the defensive position is to immediately shout Rasist and Homophobe.

” Caitlyn isn’t pretending to be a woman because she’s always been one.”

Why does the author think “feeling like a black” is less valid than “feeling like a woman”? In any case NEITHER ARE VALID, neither are reality, and both are delusions of sick minds that need treatment.

Wait, you mean race is not just a social construct?

Sorry, you're confusing ethnicity with race.

Like Gender is now not about your real sex, but how one feels.

Rachel Poaletta outs herself as a nutcase!

A four year old girl might pretend and present herself as a Doctor or a Pony.
A four year old boy might pretend to be a fireman or a cowboy.

The four year old’s grow out of their fantasy’s and become adults.

Dolezal is straight up batshite crazy.

...According to her parents, Rachel Dolezal was born a white woman. If this is true, she’ll always be a white woman, and therefore will never live the experience of a black American. Caitlyn Jenner, on the other hand, has always been a woman. Simply put: Rachel has (allegedly) been pretending to be a black woman for years — Caitlyn isn’t pretending to be a woman because she’s always been one....

Nope, if xy chromosome Bruce self-identifies as a xx chromosome women, we must ignore the obvious and lift/extoll his fantasy.

If Dolezal self identifies as a Black person, we must ignore the obvious.

Yup, Dolezal just vaporized the Black grievance industry.

Rev Al and Jessie Jackson will have to find real jobs.

Black people can self identify as white and draw on all of the benefits of so called white priviledge.

Just ask any vile and venal marxist/progressive.

Today, I will self identify as a violinist with 30,000 hours of practice under my belt.

Everyone MUST confirm and marvel at my superb playing of a violin. That screeching noise you actually hear is not coming from the violin.

And Jenner is deceiving people now. When the chromosomes change then he will be a girl, until then...just another queer.

Fictional TV character George Costanza once told Jerry : It’s not a lie if you truly believe it

These Liberal need to turn off the TV and go outside for a walk.

Our racial status is much more “elastic” then our gender. Yet the left again has to defend the absurd in order to deny the obvious.

Did some minor research: There no "percent" definition for being black. The claim in one article is that those who identify as black in the US are anywhere from 1% to 99% black by DNA. Since there's no definition that assigns one to a racial or ethnic category (that would be racist) why can't one who's 0% black designate themselves as black? It's subjective

The other part of this comparison, male vs female. Except for very rare freak cases, a person is born either male or female. It's defined. It's objective.

Thus, MTV is correct in the hypothesis but wrong in the conclusion. That NAACP leader can make the subjective decision to be black; it's a choice. But Jenner cannot decide to be female. Male or female is what one is.

Neither have the chromosomes to support their contentions.

It's that she claimed an oppression whtat wasn't hers

Am I the only one who caught the idiocy of that statement? By that reasoning, Obama isn't black, because he doesn't come from a "history of oppression"!

Still two people pretending to be someone they are not. I don’t see any difference at all.

I read the whole buildup to the article and then the climax, the reason we can’t compare the two. It’s because Bruce Jenner has always been a woman. That’s your logical argument Ms. Paoletta? That’s what you put forth? It’s like saying these are the facts because I say so. If this type of logical thinking is what our young people are engaged in, we are all doomed.
