Of course there is now a lot of discussion as to whether it should be considered a disorder.

Yes, by activists.  You can find that sort of thing about all kinds of disorders.  I do not think it's a good thing when medicine is influenced by popular opinions and activists with an axe to grind.  See the anti-vaccine movement.

What's considered a disorder in the DSM is constantly evolving. I don't really take issue with that / glad that they evolved past thinking of homosexuality as a disorder.

Why are you glad?

Because I don't think that being a homosexual should be considered a disorder? :D

Except for when one of them kept telling this 'hilarious' story of a guy who accidentally cut his dick off when he tried to trim hedges with a lawnmower.
:wacko: That can't be true.

I took her word for it.  I don't want to look it up.

This story is weird all around. Also, why did her parents rat her out?

It's just like Imitation of Life!

:)

I've been watching a lot of Douglas Sirk movies.  They're all pretty swell.  I don't know if my favorite so far is All That Heaven Allows or Magnificent Obsession.

If you get a chance see the Stahl version of "Imitation of Life" (1934) starring the great Claudette Colbert in the Lana Turner role.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

So, how is the NAACP going to prevent race fraud or race pretenders from doing this in the future?

A precise caste system based on social justice would do. Staffed by sensitive pajama boys.

I don't think Jews would work either. They would not be in tune with the struggles of the black folk, being they are jewellers, bankers and such..... :lol:

but psychology has always been shaped by popular opinions and activists. you want an objective psychology that does not change. i agree that if we could establish such a thing, great. the problem is that we have no way of knowing whether today's psychology is that objective psychology.

I think ill trans racial to the pygmy peoples. A black pygmy Jew would be the trifecta bomb.

I do not think that's really true.  It's a form of medicine.  There is of course pop psychology which is field of popular opinion, activists and demagogues, but pop psychology is to medicine as Ancient aliens on the History channel is to Tacitus.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

psychology is less advanced, established, and (probably) testable than the field of medicine. also, that field changes too. no scientific field remains the same. we're discovering shit all the time.

She's a part-time professor of "Africana Studies". I think her other two "jobs" are actually volunteer. Her primary job appears to be doing black women's hair. :mellow:

From her EWU bio:
http://www.ewu.edu/csbssw/programs/africana-studies-program/aep-faculty/rachel-dolezal

QuoteMost recently, Rachel Doležal has been appointed by the Mayor of Spokane to serve as a police commissioner for the Office of the Police Ombudsman, to oversee fairness and equity in law enforcement.

That sounds like something that *could* be volunteer, but to me it sounds more like a cushy set-aside-type gig.

Apparently pays $71k a year-- http://www.indeed.com/salary/q-Police-Ombudsman-l-Spokane,-WA.html

Throw her part time professor, hair weaving, and NAACP chapter prez gigs and she is (or was) doing okay.  Activist types like this often have their hands in multiple cookie jars.

Well she clearly took the game too far if that was what she was up to.
