So, would Ms. Dolezal have been head of the Seattle NAACP and accepted as a black activist had she remained outwardly Caucasian? if so, the lies were unnecessary. If not, then shame on those who made race be a factor. Regardless, she did willingly lie and mislead and, I believe, showed a lack of moral character.

Jenner is now part of a community that is ridiculed, derided and abused. The surgeries to change sexes is painful. The hormone treatments are known to increase cancer risks. She is now extreme fodder for comedians (nothing like Kardashian jokes with transgender issues thrown in the mix). What she and Chaz Bono have done for the transgender community should be applauded. They both are helping in gaining a little acceptance for a group that has always been maligned and ridiculed, at best. More than one transgender has been beaten, raped and murdered. If this doesn't take courage, what does?
