Dolezal continues playing the substitution game, but fortunately she's too fucking ignorant and delusional to realize the consequences.

According to the "local" newspaper, Dolezal has legally changed her name to Nkechi Amare Diallo. The "writer" does a perfect substitution move. Before the sentence about the name change, Dolezal is Dolezal. After the sentence about the name change, Diallo is Diallo. There is no previous name and no change. Diallo has always been Diallo.

Many newsy sites are designed solely for iPhone reading, with one broad column and lots of popups covering the upper and lower areas so you can only see about three lines at a time.

Dolezal is replaced by Diallo, and the part mentioning the change disappears.

A more advanced version would depend on eyegaze technology. As your eye scans past the name change or trans define, the Never Existed Unname or Never Existed Ungender before the define is replaced by the Only Existing Name or Only Existing Gender. After you read the article, the Never Existed unversion is unavailable to you, because it
