He's famous. Who wouldn't know him? But you could argue that what he's doing now is advancing a lie.
A lie would be to state "when the doctor delivered me, I was a girl". Has he denied that his PREVIOUS gender was altered to that of a female?
Just because I see what he did as odd and cannot understand it, doesn't mean he lied about his previous identity.
Sure. She wanted to pass for the thing she considered herself. She invented a lie to cement it. That sort of thing happens all the time, only most people lie smaller. They puff their IQ, or test scores or how successful their businesses are, how great their mate is and on and on.
To me it's only degree and a function of desire. The root appears to be the same and the result is arguably not much different.
Her lie involved deceiving OTHER people because those who did not know her previously, believed she was black.
Is Bruce trying to convince anyone that he isn't the guy who had a recent gender change to make himself appear as female? Did Bruce make up a story about the race of his parents?
IF this woman had not been outed, would anyone know she was actually a white woman?
