As I right this , this show is

As I right this , this show is more than three years old . I have to say this was truly depressing. Rachel only admitted to the con when she had no other choice . I came away about 90% certain this poor woman has mental health issues. Also , her children seem like unwitting victims that she has no sympathy for.

I thought the film added a lot of

I thought the film added a lot of nuance to the story we all read in the newspapers and saw on TV, which was very one sided and made Rachel look like a huckster. The film was about 10 minutes too long for me, but still highly worth watching. It includes news footage you are likely to have already seen, including anchors questioning the difference between choosing your race and choosing your gender. I think this is a worthwhile comparison. I totally get it that black women deal with a society that is often hostile to them in a way that white women do not. Likewise, people who are born as women or raised as women experience a unique set of societal pressures, expectations, and hinderances that trans women do not experience. To me, being born a woman and living as a woman by choice are two different experiences. That doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with being a trans woman. Quite the opposite, I fully support any human being's right to live as the person they choose to be. I think our society would be a LOT better off if we could go beyond rigid stereotypes and expectations and the fear of change inherent in what Gen Z is creating as our new normal. Change is hard, but it's an essential part of growth. I think Rachel's experience is unique in that I don't know anyone else who has had such a striking set of early childhood experiences as her. I can see how she truly and deeply feels black. She is not flippantly choosing to identify as such to get one over on anyone else. I think we would have a better and more peaceful society if we didn't make such a big deal about this woman's choice to live as the woman she sees herself to be.

The correct title for this should have been

The correct title for this should have been. The Portrait of a Narcissist. I felt so bad the whole show for the kids. This woman could not stop, she had to scream I am a victim. The only victims in this show were the children. This woman just would not stop even though it is destroying the children. A mother is supposed to protect her children not make their life a living hell. If only I had seen this show earlier, I could have let Franklin come live with me. That way he could escape the problems she kept causing. The whole show was her trying to be the victim and just her poor kids trying to survive. For the love of god stop destroying their lives, you narcissist.
