... and I would agree with you, if the person who identified that way had been honest about their story from the start.
Everything she did is acceptable to me ... the problem is that her origins are plain to see but she chooses to make up a story and then continually bend and twist her story to protect her original dishonesty. First she said she was adopted ... then that was questioned ... so now she changed it to being an illegitimate child ... and due to the nature of how our society views Native communities, families and people and their dysfunction .. it's very easy to cloud any story you make up by claiming that you are being oppressed by government, stolen as a child, fostered out or hidden in some clandestine way.
All of it is too much for me ... if she had been honest and even if she were honest now ... all of it would be so much easier for everyone to deal with.
