The Rachel Divide
It's a few years old but is on Netflix again. I watched it for the second time last night with my mother. She hadn't been aware of the case first time around and was blown away that this happened.
Dolezal is more complex and intelligent than people give her credit for and her story is strange in many ways. If you haven't watched this documentary I highly recommend it.
That being said I still can't understand how the same people who vilified Dolezal praise trans women. I can't understand how they tell themselves these two things are different.
My personal opinion is that racism is considered real oppression while sexism is not. I think there are a lot of people out there who just don't see women as being oppressed. To me this is an extension of their contempt and hatred of women of any race.
After watching this documentary again I found myself incredibly angry all over again. I do not agree with what Dolezal did but she has been destroyed for doing the very same thing Bruce Jenner has been celebrated for. This is just more evidence of how much women are hated. Men like Shaun King are only lightly mocked for doing the same thing.
And that’s not even true! Too many doctors won’t prescribe HRT for natural menopause because conventional wisdom vacillates on the benefits v. risks. Gee, if only women’s health care research was fully funded and functional.
It reminds me of how eggs were both good and bad for your health at one point.
It being untrue was one of the most aggravating things about it, exactly!! They don't just hand out HRT to women going through menopause, from what I gather there are all kinds of hoops to jump through
It was PhilosophyTube so it was most likely his classic case of 'I know this isn't true, but all those brocialists who love me so much won't have a clue, because I'm so much smarter than them'. Absolute bad-faith grifter.
On the plus side, his face, body and outfits these days are absolutely hilarious to look at and have given me many a laugh aloud, so I guess we get something out of him making a public fool of himself for his fetish.
