Can someone explain to me why a guy who thinks he's a gal is courageous when he tries to live as a gal, but a caucasian gal who thinks she's African-American and tries to live as such gets trashed? *I don't really understand either situation, but I think it's strange they are viewed so differently.

I see courage in both cases, for them to be exposed to public viewing and comments and possible living with criticism for a long time OR them doing for the publicity! Courage that gets paid because they sell "news"!

However, I do not believe in giving an award for that type of courage. We have men and women at the front lines supporting all of the US. Some being killed or harmed physically or emotionally or both. What do these heroes, think about this type of courage award or the families that have lost their loved ones. Or, what about our friends, neighbors, relatives and others fighting for their lives and losing or winning?? Just my thoughts.......

How is this for starters: Because she LIED about her ethnicity on official documents that were and are used to make serious decisions.

There must be something in the water everywhere; there are a lot of screwed up people all over the world. I thought the whole Jenner/Kardashian clan were the leaders of the crazies and bizarre but that woman in Washington is quickly gaining on them.

We are all African Americans!! That is where all human life originated, until the questions are very scientifically specific there is no way she lied on any form. All of those questions are asinine.

After all one drop makes you black. I have a friend who is white with blue eyes, yet his 23andme dna analysis said he is .05% African. That's more than a drop!

I guess all that "white privilege" she and her parents had wasn't working too well. You know.....for full-ride college scholarships and all.

I think she is a liar and a carpet b-a-g-g-e-r. She sets back race relations AGAIN in this day and age.. We have had enough of that lately. I want less tension, not more.

Imagine how black people feel about her.. We are all proud of our ethnicities.

As long as people of any race/ethnicity follow, give 'all glory laud and honor' to, and vote for enablers like the one in the video link in post #7, they get what they ordered.

Sadly, our nation weakens with every liar like this making headlines and gaining enablers and disciples.

1. That is not settled science but if it makes you feel good about yourself knock yourself out.

2. The cultural clashes have been so successful that many people actually believe that the Jenner/Dolezal stories are important and relevant.

Why do we celebrate people who have mental disorders all we are doing is encouraging their delusional behavior and its unfair to them

Jenner can do all the altering he wants but his DNA will always be male and is stored memories will always be male. and of course the same applies to Dolezal.

People get a grip. Where's Loretta Young when you need her

I'm not sure about the rule, or even if there is a rule. How much African American blood must one have to be able to claim it as their race? How many generations must one trace back to prove one's race? My personal rule is twofold. It includes (1) you are what you say you are, and (2) it really doesn't matter since I'm more concerned about the content of your character.

This woman....was deceitful. There is a huge difference between what she has done and what jenner has done....not even in the same ballpark.

She maliciously used the system to better her lifestyle....she lied, and she cheated....with the intent to GAIN. She purposely masqueraded herself as a black woman...she colored her hair, got a kinky perm, and colored her skin......
If she is a light skinned, blonde blue eyed black woman...fine.....it is possible.....but how dare she transform herself physically into a BLACK woman to fool the system.

To me ....that's unforgivable.

By the way...I have no idea how much "blood" you need to be a particular race. But for most colleges and universities....you must be 1/8 native american or Asian...etc...to get special scholarships or financial aid.
