Binary edit: Split this off from the WDT. Note that I'm not labeling this a "serious thread" so feel free to be funny, but be respectful. I can't tell whether he/she looks more like Paula Poundstone or Geena Davis. http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/06/caitlyn-jenner-bruce-cover-annie-leibovitz
Am I the only who's been calling my friends named Caitlyn, Bruce today? They don't seem to find it as hilarious as I do.
I had one, but due to I think legal and past behavior looking bad to future employers goes by "Caitey" now on facebook.
No, it wasn't. When a trans person finally makes the gut wrenching, world shaking decision to challenge societal norms and brave being ostracized by friends and family by telling people how they feel on the inside, it takes colossal gall, arrogance, and a massive lack of empathy to tell them they're wrong.
I'll totally say I don't get the desire to change at his age, especially given what he's accomplished. But I totally agree that this had to be an amazingly tough decision even if I don't understand it. Like with everyone else in this world, I hope he finds whatever he's looking for.
From what I understand, she'd wanted to change forever, and even started taking hormones for it in the 80s, but something stopped her. Don't remember what. Not much of a fan of the whole Kardashian circus. I mostly think it's funny that she picked a name that starts with a hard K sound, but bucked the whole Kardashian thing by spelling it with a C.
Well, mostly I think it's funny that Mary Lou Retton is pissed that she's no longer the first female Olympian to appear on the front of a Wheaties box.
Sheesh, the whole Jenner thing is a touchy subject. I made one tweet about it and promptly lost 150 followers. Oh well, I was sure to offend them sooner or later anyways.
Well shes now the poster child for every SJW out there, so of course people are going to get Offended (©). I didnt see the interview with Diane Sawyer, but it sounds like shes still into women? Making her a lesbian? With a penis? Which defeats the purpose of being a lesbian? Whatever, if it makes her happy, do what you gotta do.
I thought what he did was weird, but I guess I have more in common with him than I thought. I thought the purpose of being a lesbian was to love and have sex with women and to not love and have sex with men. So, I don't think having a penis defeats that purpose does it? Plus, now he gets to use the shortest bathroom line at Rush concerts.
No idea, but I imagine a lesbian would be as surprised to find a penis as a straight man would if she (Caitlyn) was into men. Huh. I knew she looked like Geddy Lee.
I know a female to male transgender who, while undergoing the mandatory pre-op counseling, met another woman transtioning to male. They fell in love, both went on to become men, and were, last I saw them, lovers.
