Ok. I still don't give a **** if someone marries their dog.

I recall a parable about workers in the field getting the same pay for the whole day and for a single hour.

"Woman of the Year" seems, by definition, not to be a lifetime achievement award.

Feel free to share the parable of the workers in the vineyard with some of these traditional feminists. I'm sure you'll get a warm response.

Depends on the feminist. Mot of the feminists I read are inclusionary, and understand the huge life difficulties that would have been faced by a woman who had to live as a man for 50+ years.
 
Not what I said. First, we were discussing whether Dolezal believes she is black. Second, my skepticism does not affect anyone else's reality. Third, increase skepticism does not equate to a refusal to believe.
1) So you don't believe she's black. No problem. I don't either.
2) I imagine people's skepticism of transgender does, in fact, affect their reality.
3) Sure. It doesn't equate to believing either.

Are people raised by black parents, but pass for white starting in, for example, college and get treated as white for the rest of their lives actually black? white? Sometimes the world is to complex for simple categories. I have no need to characterize Dolezal, and she has no need for it.

2) I imagine people's skepticism of transgender does, in fact, affect their reality.

Are we still limiting this to people with fraud convictions/diversions/etc.? If a known confidence man (say, someone who ran a Ponzi scheme) suddenly reveals their putative transgender identity while in prison and asks to be transferred to a woman's facility, should we apply no skepticism?

3) Sure. It doesn't equate to believing either.

I believe everyone on this topic unless I have a person-specific reason to disbelieve.
 
I went to the library last night. And a man/woman helped me. Women’s clothes and voice, but she/he had a beard. And I was surprised how uncomfortable and awkward it made me feel, although I tried not to let it show. Not sure why I felt that way, either.
