I was visiting npr.org and saw a little bit about Rachel Dolezal and her situation. I'm trying really hard to wrap my head around the concept of trans-racial individuals. I don't know why #transgender issue didn't cause this much cognitive dissonance in me. Transgendered people seemed "normal" to me, for lack of better words. I didn't bat an eye when I first heard about it. This trans-racial thing is mind warping, though. I'm not angry or scared, I just don't understand the situation I guess. I want to say it's like code switching but more drastic. I feel like that's a shallow assessment though. #race and #gender feel very different to me.
