“That crap she pulled” — being a misguided person whose expressed identity doesn’t match her biology. Guess you’re fine with transgendered people being homeless, too.

Really don’t get why her shaming post-public figurehood is necessary. It’s not like she’s in a position remotely close to power.

A legacy of having been Nigeria’s colonial overlord in living memory.

Thought experiment: if Rachel becomes an F to M transgendered person and then is the victim of a hate crime, how does Jezebel / The Root respond?

So once you (the blogosphere) has successfully hounded Rachel Dolezal, now some random non-public figure from whocareswhere, to suicide over her atypical identity, will you be satisfied?

That would seem to be an argument for transracialism and against transgenderism. My nationality similarly has no basis in my physiology and it’s pretty uncontroversial (if difficult) for me to change it.

I have no idea how the notion of gender is “deeply rooted in one’s mind” but race is somehow a social component of our identity. There’s plenty of evidence that the oppressive qualities of gender emerge from outside oneself. And similar to this woman, Jenner has no claim to the backstory of feminity. She merely put it…

If you own stock and have an issue, why not bring it up at the next shareholders’ meeting instead of wasting our time on Deadspin?

Given that Lincoln died before the proclaimed end of the Civil War, not sure how you can blame it on him.

Get cancer.

Fuck, shut up already.

That’s 3.3%, not 0.03%, math genius.

You must live in a tiny city if you think Calgary has significant traffic problems. It’s a city of about 1 million that has 50 percent of people (or did during the boom) getting to work downtown by public transit. Ever heard of Atlanta or Los Angeles, or London for that matter?
