of a thread, now it appears that it has morphed into something different, I guess ... post that spawned sub threads.

I vociferously object to the dog whistle style of the O(riginal) P(ost). It plays into too many RW memes that have been circulating everywhere - gleeful posts of "Oh look liberals call that man a woman and now they object to a white woman claiming to be black HA HA HA" when there is an ocean of difference.

1. RD knew she was white, because she sued Howard University for discrimination against her for being white. She's also a serial liar, fabricating police reports that she was being targeted racially, all of them not passing the smell test. That harms those that are legitimately victims of hate crimes.

2. Jenner has always been female. Gender identity issues affect 1:2000 people. It has been around since civilization. If you want some citations, I'll offer them, but suffice to say, it has been documented since society could be documented. That is different than race, and certainly different from lying repeatedly and making up false stories that you were targeted by race for harassment.

Hope that clears some of it up for you, but to be honest, I'm just sickened by the whole right wing "Ha ha ha, we've got those liberals now, transgender people are fake just like this white woman pretending to be black ha ha ha."

To see this shit on DU makes me ill.
