Definitely too sophisticated, needs more rainbow and glitter!

I always pictured you like this:

When someone says they’re colorblind, that means they don’t want to acknowledge the baggage and history that society carries around regarding race, and they want to pretend there is a level playing field. In addition, it’s like ignoring a significant attribute each of us has as individuals. That is patronizing…

not sweat it too much

If she doesn’t want to be recognized, she could let her go back to what if the pictures her family produced are to be believed is its natural state, which is pretty straight and lighter than it is now. It’s likely darker now (because for light haired white women, it often does that as you age), but I bet if she wore…

I always sort of thought she’d take getting busted as a blessing in disguise and give herself permission to stop spending 3 hours a day (my guess) on achieving that “natural” hair.

As a biracial woman, works that examine this sort of thing always interest me when they’re done by people who know what the hell they’re talking about. So, pretty much anyone other than Rachel Dolezel, who has never been caught between a race or culture or ethnicity or anything else. Bitch, you ARE white. You…

I’m just glad to see that she is less orange.

At least it’s not the “I’ve fallen into a vat of twine” look.

She says the revelation that she was white became such a thing because “it challenged people to think about identity… is there one human race? Why do we want to go back to that world where we have separate races?”

Dolezal says she’s also eager to get back to teaching and her social justice work. All we can say is that her twist-out looks still looks good.

I saw the interview this morning and just like a year ago, there are a lot of questions she just “doesn’t understand.”

I do wish that I’d given myself permission to really own the me of me earlier in life.

You think 14 years is close in age? LMAO.

I’ve had both types, and they both suck equally! Dudes, don’t try to fool yourself into thinking I’m impressed by your higher salary, & don’t try to get all hyper-macho because you’re wounded by my higher salary. I just gotta find a peer— or else someone who doesn’t give a fuck about money either way, which is of…

Close to their age, and yet rarely, rarely OF their age, nor a single day above it.

Yeah, my deal would solely be that I’d be looking for someone who made around about the same salary as I do. I’ve had too many run ins with guys who had insecurity issues because I made more. That is WAY worse than having a lower salary somehow lorded over you.

The last ad on column 3 at page 104 at this link, from a July 1986 issue of New York Magazine, was mine. Obviously, it was quite a while before I transitioned! I figured that an attempt at humor was the only way that someone as short as I was (5' 2") could get a response. I think I got about 50 letters, so some women,…

I’m sort of heartened to see men looking for women close to their age. It makes me curious as if something has changed since then that has made men only want young girls.

If only I’d had misplaced male confidence things would have turned out differently.
