Carissa Pinkston, a model who's worked for Nike, Marc Jacobs, Prabal Gurang, Edie Parker, and others, is under fire for admitting that she lied about being transgender — a claim designed to save herself from transphobic comments she'd made previously. Earlier this month, Twitter user @CeceliaJinks called Pinkston out, furnishing screenshots of Facebook posts she allegedly wrote back in May under the name Rissa Danielle. One post read: "Being Transgender does NOT make you a woman. It makes you simply Transgender." In another post, Pinkston doubled down on her comment. "Being Transgender does not make you a woman in a Transgender context according to gender and sex," she wrote. "This is how they want to be perceived. In a biological context there are Females and Males. This is the world in 2019."

Isn’t she allowed to identify as a person who claims to be transgender but is not. Surely there’s a letter for that we can add to LGTQ etc.
The more I listen to these people talk, and talk, and talk about themselves, and themselves, and themselves, the more sadly and sickly narcissistic their world becomes.
How can you “lie” about something that you can just claim?
Well yeah but the Q stands for Questioning. Usually it refers to confused teens who don’t know if they are homo or not but I think it could apply to how anyone feels at any given moment too. IMHO they could all just be classified as I for insane.
She identifies as transgender. Isn’t that enough? Who are they to question her? It’s her truth.
Brings to mind Kathleen Turner’s funny turn as Chandler Bing’s drag queen dad in the sitcom, Friends.
Excellent point.
She identifies as transgender, even though she isn’t.
“Not that there’s anything wrong with that.”
