Rachel Dolezal, former NAACP leader who claimed to be black, is on food stamps

I'm confused... Why do you think that a person ending up in poverty is so funny???

I'll tell you why and it has to do "with the persona" not a just any person.

Personally I don't care, if she truly meets the Washington requirements for Food Stamps, why are people looking down on her? Isn't that what Food Stamps are for, to Feed American Citizens?

No, Gender Dysphoria is a real condition, the treatment for which is generally sexual reassignment surgery. What Rachel Dolezal has wrong with her is in no way comparable to that, and frankly its a offensive to those that are trans-gendered for such a comparison to be made. I am not a psychiatrist, so I don't know what is wrong with her other than to say that lying to everyone about your family and race is not normal.

Boston, MA — Racial identity disorder – otherwise known as racial dysphoria – is a real and valid condition affecting millions of Americans and it is time that it is acknowledged as such, a leading psychologist and expert on racial identity issues has claimed.

Dr. Jeremiah Brockyard, a professor of psychology and sociology at Harvard University, made the bold statement in an article he wrote for the Monitor On Psychology, the American Psychological Association’s monthly publication.

Dolezal claims that race, like gender, is "fluid" and also that it's a "social construct" rather than "biological." She wants a "more complex label" because being "trans-black" just "feels more accurate than saying that I am white."

So again, if a person feels, identifies with a sex they were not born as and work to become what they feel they are, do you "eye roll" that too?
 
Part of me laughs about this, and part of me wonders where this will lead.

Do we really want to start ostracizing people from society for being morons?

Well then, as I said, she has some mental issues.

Just the same, for the third time, the notion she cannot find work is ridiculous in this economy. She just can't find the work that she wants.

She is correct that race is a social construct. Just the same, the notion she cannot find work is ridiculous. There is no reason why she could not at least get a job waiting tables instead of living on the dole.
 
While I have no problems if she wants to identify with Blacks, it's the fact that she lied on her application.

I have to wonder, if she had said she was white, would she have ever gotten the job with the NAACP? Likely not.

So when the truth came out, was it then that she decided she had identified with the Black race since she was a child? Or was it before.

Truthfully, I haven't followed her situation. But, you lie about something of that nature, it will bite you back. As others have said, she could get a job, but she would have to tell the truth....

No, sexual dysphoria is not an "illness":

The American Psychiatric Association, publisher of the DSM-5, states that "gender nonconformity is not in itself a mental disorder.

I think it's time that modern psychology had a reality check.

I find this attitude from you, of all people, rather hypocritical. Are you not going through a transition from one sex to another?

What does that have to do with anything? I'm not an ass about it. I'm considerate of others opinions, I don't force myself into women's locker rooms, I try to avoid the ladies room in public at this time and opt for the multisex/family single unit when possible. I never deny I'm MTF. I don't demand others accept I'm female, I do ask they resepct my desire to be treated thusly in terms of pronouns.

This lady is just an ASS, all around. She's toxic, if she wasn't she could land a job. I have a job, a good job, where they LIKE me A LOT.

No, race is biological.

You only know me from this site, and I don't deny that I've not made the best choices in what and how I've posted. I do try to be better about. Now, how about we focus on the OP instead of derailing this into personal insults against me?
