For those that were/are struggling with the concept of gender fluidity; take a step further(?)

Article on Rachel Dolezal

Dolezal and her defenders contend her racial identity is genuine while not based on biology or ancestry. In a November 2015 television interview, Dolezal publicly stated for the first time since the controversy began that she was born white but still identifies herself as black
It appears that hope is at hand for those of us currently identifying as white male, and feeling they had no chance of even entering the Victim Olympics, (alternatively known as the Oppression Olympics).

She took to calling herself a native American and so did a number of others.

She was, she said, happy to be a native American of Russian descent.

A small point: the publisher of most of my books is Kindle. It is still a publisher, despite it being e-books. Small, but an important point.
An interesting point; 'native' north Americans are the ancestors descendants of people who travelled from/through Siberia across the ice bridge between Siberia and Alaska.
All there are 'immigrants' of one sort or another, but only one 'group' is allowed to claim indigenous status, in spite those same indigenous people claiming massive grants to visit Japan and Russia to meet their genetic brothers and sisters.

No one sees the irony embedded in this, ever.

Descendants, not ancestors. I know, I know, it's only language.
Thank you.
Language is important.
I did a triple take as I wrote it yet my brain failed anyway.
