Review of The Lady and the Dale

Liz Carmichael was born a man who initially was an undoubtable criminal, who ditched 3 women he had children with, and while in his late 20's, eloped with a 16 year old girl, and continued to be a criminal. He ended up with 5 more children, and around 1969, while being a federal fugitive since 1961 for counterfeiting cash, started to transition into a woman. The cons continued. Then in 1974, she creates an obvious scam to sell a 3 wheeler car for $2K claiming it is bulletproof and gets 75 MPH, even though the prototype was non functioning. After conviction for fraud, she jumps bail, only to continue shady practices. The second half of this is basically a misguided history of transgendered people and how her treatment was the actual crime committed by this clear cut sociopath. The focus continues to be how her involvement with the car, called The Dale, was over prosecuted because she is transgendered. She was a fugitive dragging 5 children around the US for 12 or more years, never staying anywhere longer than 2 months. But, according to every person she ever encountered, she was the most wonderful person in the world. Never mind her decades of fraud victims. Ironically, I lived in the LA area while this was a heavily covered news item in the 70's while in high school. I have no memory of any of it, which is even stranger as my name is Dale.
