People Magazine: Jenner "transitioning into a woman"

    Yeah, I know... It's hard to imagine where he could ever get the idea of how to turn his transition into a reality show and millions and millions of dollars.

    ESPN can probably churn this into a four-hour "Jenner: The Decision" prime-time special.

    The reaction shots during the ESPYs are what to look forward to.
    The odd thing is, Jenner could have done this "in private" years ago, but he had to worry about his speaking gigs and other things that relied on his public image to help him make ends meet. With the success of the reality show, he was able to afford to walk away and I figure the publicity blitz probably kills the value of future paparazzi shots. Though you would have thought the market for the rest of the family would have dried up by now.

    I've got to give credit to her and the Kardashian machine. Her rollout has been a study in good PR work from the beginning. An Annie Leibovitz photo spread in Vanity Fair was a perfect vehicle.

    Bruce/Caitlyn did not use the Kardashian team of PR people in this process.

    He (and I say he because he was still Bruce at the beginning of this process) put together his own team, including people he had worked with up to 30 years ago.

    I'm surprised they didn't introduce Caitlynn to Ray J.

    boys have a penis, girls have a vagina. As long as HE has a penis, he is a HE.

    COuld not care any more about Jenner than I do right now, which is disinterested acquiescence

    Even more impressive in that case.

    Gotta figure the Caitlyn/Kaitlyn/Katelynn name is gonna take a hit in terms of future popularity.

    So, that should be a benefit to a future generation of prep sports reporters.

    Does it make me a bad person that I don't care about any of this? I mean, I hope this makes him happy and good for him. I just don't give a damn.

    I just wish people would respect his privacy already.
