    Outside the Lines did a pretty good show a couple of days ago on Caitlyn, and it still stuns me that Vanity Fair chose Bissinger to do the piece. If they indeed chose him, I guess. He's an excellent writer, but I didn't expect him to have the sensitivity to deal with this issue. And he was still having difficulty on the OTL piece getting the pronouns straight. Still have to read the piece.

    I think think the family hates this. If the white hot light isn't on Kim or Kris, they aren't happy. Kim is pregnant, they want to milk that. Caitlyn makes Kanye look like he's grounded

    This doesn't have much to do with Jenner, but this response by an oblivious woman is worth it:

    Not everyone is on board:

    Caitlyn, of course, is not really a woman. Mr. Jenner has not even shed his essential lower male infrastructure, let alone his pesky, clinging XY chromosomes. In this sense, he's actually more of a proverbial Gender Centaur, or even a proverbial Gender Mullet, than anything else. This might be uncomfortable, but it is the truth. It certainly doesn't lessen Jenner's worth as a human being or as a child of God. Yet, strangely, if you calmly note this simple scientific fact, certain people will get very, very upset.

    Declare that Caitlyn's not a woman, and within moments, echoing the infamous Monty Python "Spanish Inquisition" skit, transgender enforcers — from various corners of the media, politics and, increasingly, public schools — will rush in, displaying alarm, surprise and a fanatical devotion to magical gender fluidity. Caitlyn, we are told, is a woman, because she says so; it is rude, cruel, backward and dangerous to think or say otherwise. After the Vanity Fair cover release, in fact, a Washington Post reporter teamed up with a friend to diligently code a program to automatically reprimand and correct any Twitter user who referred to Caitlyn as a "he."
