Rachel Dolezal and Jessica Krug put effort into their bullshit, this one isn't even trying. The fetishization/contempt for their targets shines through in all cases.

This article by Hari Ziyad discussing his relationship with Jessica Krug (https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2020/12/the-stories-and-lies-of-jess-krug) touched on a lot of interesting points. I think he's a pompous, self-important jackass (he also wrote an article claiming it is you guessed it PROBLEMATIC if you won't date trans people: https://afropunk.com/2017/05/dating-preferences-are-political-this-is-not-up-for-debate/). Nevertheless, there were a few things that were insightful in this article:

1. The fear of questioning anyone's stated identity is what kept him and others from addressing the sense that something was "off" whenever they interacted with Krug.

2. Her fascination with living the difficulties of racial minorities. She seemed to want to experience all the tropes of stories growing up in a slum: the name misspelled by ignorant immigration authorities, the drug-addicted parents, the brother with tons of kids who is now in jail, yadda yadda. There was a very disturbing passage from Lou Sullivan's book which similarly equated dying from AIDS with being "authentically" gay. Author Poppy Z. Brite (who has also gone the gay transman route) also had a weird fascination with gay men's "doomed, dangerous" love.

3. Krug's eagerness to attack the Black and Latina people she wished to imitate.

I think this is the same sort of rationale that people like this use. She has active contempt for gay men, even as she sees something desirable in the "gay lifestyle" which allows her to be free and authentic. She is both creating and taking advantage of the culture of fear that has emerged around identity. There also seems to be a level of self-hatred (her describing herself as "stinky"), and she sees being gay as a form of "self-harm." It's repulsive.

I believe that in the case of this one and other no-transition trans people, they are trying to pull off the ultimate power trip: getting someone to agree to have sex with them in spite of their orientation, not through physical force, but through getting them to internalize the very hate that is directed at them. To get them to "agree" to it, and for them to feel dirty afterwards. This is why so many of them gleefully call gay men f_ggots and call lesbians d_kes (dunno if this site is filtered).
