  Pretty wild appearance...

  She identifies as Russian & non-binary trans:

  Masha Gessen (born 13 January 1967) is a Russian-American journalist, author, translator[1][2] and activist who has been an outspoken critic of the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, and the former president of the United States, Donald Trump.[3]

  Gessen is nonbinary and trans and uses they/them pronouns.[4][5] Gessen has written extensively on LGBT rights.[6] Described as "Russia's leading LGBT rights activist,"[7] they have said that for many years they were "probably the only publicly out gay person in the whole country."[8] They now live in New York with their wife and children.[9]

  Of course, though, she is Jewish, and not Russian:

  Gessen was born into a Jewish family in Moscow to Alexander and Yelena Gessen.[1] Gessen's paternal grandmother Ester Goldberg, the daughter of a socialist mother and a Zionist father, was born in Białystok, Poland, in 1923 and emigrated to Moscow in 1940. Ester's father Jakub Goldberg was murdered during the Holocaust in 1943, either in the Białystok Ghetto or a concentration camp. Ruzya Solodovnik, Gessen's maternal grandmother, was a Russian-born intellectual who worked as a censor for the Stalinist government until she was fired during an antisemitic purge. Gessen's maternal grandfather Samuil was a committed Bolshevik who died during World War II, leaving Ruzya to raise Yelena alone.[10]

  (Wikipedia)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masha_Gessen]

  There is such a thing as a Russian who is Jewish, but it is hard to consider a non-binary trans activist & polemicist "married" to her "wife" in NYC as someone who is even remotely conventionally Russian.

  Downvoted because the title is a well-known antisemitic trope. It is funny that this other person looks exactly like Rachel maddow. I never watch network tv so I have no idea if it's true that there is a broader pattern but I wouldn't be surprised. It's probably just like how all CEOs look alike. Or how people tend to choose a dog that looks like them.

    If you think lizard people means Jew you must think all Jews look like lizards and that says more about you than me.

  "guy"?

    It's a gender neutral term, like actor and comedian. And it's not just "guy", it's "this guy". Which means the actual person isn't important, it's the stereotype that matters.

      No guy means x y and penis.
