Members Eric83 Posted April 25, 2015 Members Share Posted April 25, 2015 I enjoyed the interview. I can't imagine being a transgendered individual and the turmoil that comes with it. I wish her the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted April 25, 2015 Members Share Posted April 25, 2015 Somehow, that just doesn't seem important to me at this time. Kris, trashy faults and all, has just as much right as anyone else to be hurt, angry and disappointed that her husband wants to be a woman. The important thing is that she did reach out to him. Even if she didnt, Kris is well within her rights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ThePrinceOfSunspear Posted April 25, 2015 Members Share Posted April 25, 2015 I don't support it but I'm not God so its none of my concern. I just wouldn't want to be around one of them at all. I think if God made you a male or female then you're really violating yourself by trying to force some type of change on yourself. It will be interesting to see how the 24/7 politically correct crowd reacts to people who aren't 100% okay with this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members quartermainefan Posted April 26, 2015 Members Share Posted April 26, 2015 I don't think it comes down to political correctness as it does people assuming they have input and they're being ok with it should matter to the people in question. It's like saying "I am not okay with left handed people". Well ok, and why should this be of importance to lefties? That seems to be this assumption on the part of cultural conservatives, that somehow their views on normal and right should be considered more significant than those who take a live and let live approach. And it's not just conservatives, it was all the people who claim to be liberal but "have a problem" with this group or that. I have a problem with plaid. The people who make plaid crap don't and shouldn't have to run their fashion ideas by me. Bruce Jenner doesn't seem to be asking if anyone has a problem with him, he just wants to be who he is. As far as what God made or didn't make, well, god made people who were nazis and Isis, so I call his taste into question and can't say I support his decisions. We all should live our lives as we see fit as long as we don't harm anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted April 26, 2015 Members Share Posted April 26, 2015 Yes! I felt so sad for Bruce. How scared and confused he must have been growing up in the 50's with these feelings and not having the resources that are available to young trans people now. I almost cried when he said he would have been mad at himself if he died and never got to live as he really wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted April 26, 2015 Members Share Posted April 26, 2015 When Diane asked then if he was a lesbian and he came up with asexual….I though of Carl……LOL….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted April 26, 2015 Members Share Posted April 26, 2015 It was clear to me that Jenner has a lot of issues to still work through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted April 26, 2015 Members Share Posted April 26, 2015 I hope what he's going makes him happy. Honestly I will probably get bashed for this, but I'm tired of hearing about him. The only reason he's getting so much attention is cause of the Kardashian connection. What about others who go through this? What makes him more deserving of more attention than them?

Members ReddFoxx Posted April 26, 2015 Members Share Posted April 26, 2015 I'm sorry, I think he's full of crap and the fact that he came out as a Republican solidifies that, because they are the masters of spin. He's says he's not gay, but as far as he knows, he's heterosexual, but then says he's asexual. To me, it seems like he has no issue being transgender, but might have some issue with being a lesbian and threw the word asexual out there to keep from identifying with it. I was "asexual" for a short time, so I know about throwing up bullcrap barriers. I do not know what Bruce's point is, but I do agree that there is more that he needs to work through.

Members Soapsuds Posted April 26, 2015 Members Share Posted April 26, 2015 I rolled my eyes during his asexual comment. Plus a million on this post…feel the same way…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted April 26, 2015 Administrator Share Posted April 26, 2015 Because those other people aren't famous, or as famous as Bruce. They're not going to bring in this much attention. Bruce became a big name after his Gold medal win. I watched the special because it was about Bruce and so did 17 million people. If they did a story about a non-famous person, it would not get this much attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
