Why would you say he's going after a 14 year old girl and not protecting a group of 14 year old girls? Who is really the victim here? Why does your concern for well-being only extend to the person with the transgender identity?

Rachel Dolezal identifies as a black woman, and she worked tirelessly to advocate for that community for most of her adult life. Yet when she was discovered to be a biological white woman, she was castigated and cancelled. Why do we accept some forms of self-identification and not others?

Do you know why reactionaries who wet their pants over people getting “cancelled” are boring? It’s a facade. No one ever got cancelled. You know how I know? Mel Gibson is still making movies. What was a news oddity about Dolezal is someone choosing to give up white privilege. It’s almost inconsequential.
