I’m sure I’ll be accused of being a huge troglodyte, but I can’t say I really understand the difference between people like Caitlyn Jenner who claim to be* transsexual and people like Rachel Dolezal who claim to be transracial.

Is there any substantive difference? If so, what is it? What rhetorical, philosophical and sociological knots must most of the left twist itself into to assert their definitive difference?

Both are co-opting and inhabiting lived experiences that are not their own.

I fail to see the difference, really.

*I am not evaluating truth claims here. But claims precede action in this case and most others.
