The Crying Game / TRANSGENDER DISCUSSION

[HairOfTheDog]

Is there such a thing as "self-inflicted" hate crime? Or does it fall under the repugnant rape-culture credo of "well if she didn't DRESS that way, it wouldn't have happened."

The problem with the complaints she filed about hate crimes against her isn't that she's white. The cops didn't even presumably know she was white when they investigated. The problem is that her allegations could not be substantiated and there is suspicion that she made them up.

If the suspicions are correct (which may never be provable), then she's a liar and an attention-seeker, and she used her assumed race to perpetuate racial tension and potentially cause harm to others.

her biggest issue is going to be the legal documents she may have signed in order to gain undeserved privileges.

Aside from checking "black" on the volunteer police ombudsman application for the black community, I haven't seen it confirmed that she claimed to be black on other applications or official docs, though I'm sure that's being investigated now.

But, my point stands, either way. Let's say it turns out she checked "black" as her race on some applications or official docs (instead of just leaving it blank, which would have been wiser).

She's currently running with the "I consider myself to be black; I identify as black" excuse. There seem to be a lot of people buying it or giving her the benefit of the doubt; people who therefor don't consider her assertion that she's black to be a lie.

But, even that lot of generous or gullible people can't deny that she was lying through her teeth when she claimed to struggle with nappy hair issues her whole life and shared those experiences with "other" black women. The fact that she had straight light hair until she was 37 years old is not debatable. It's a cold hard fact. Her statements to the contrary can't be excused by her claimed state of mind or racial self-identification. The only explanation is that she lied or she's delusional.
