Some people born male identify as female and vice-versa--nothing worthy of a trial by media. Such individuals are actually protected under human rights legislation (thankfully). If a "white" individual were to genuinely identify as Aboriginal, or African for that matter, why would it be unacceptable? Identity does not necessarily follow biology. Deception and exploitation for personal gain are another story, but how could one prove with reasonable certainty that this was Mr. Boyden's intent? If one finds him sketchy (or, heck, dislikes the shape of his face), they may choose not to associate with him. But is media hysteria warranted?
