Hey Helen there’s definitely a connection, people in part (presumably some of them) motivated to seek status through adopting a minority identity… though they’re also different in interesting ways- Rachel Dolezal actually claimed she had black ancestry; she wasn’t (at least not initially) a white person who identified as black. I guess the difference in part is what identities can simply be adopted based on your own say so. It appears “woman” is one of them. Funny, that
