This post was deleted for the following reason: Sorry, the Dolezal situation is a peculiar mix of news-of-the-weird/look at this nutty lady, plus "let's discuss in the abstract something that turns out to be painfully not abstract for certain members here", plus race, plus the connection to the whole idea of 'transracialism' which seems to be an idea made up to tease and mock transgender people -- and the whole package makes it impossible for a thread on this to go well here at this time. -- LobsterMitten
