People Magazine: Jenner "transitioning into a woman"

There's more to being a woman than fake breasts, hormone injections, make up and a dress. And it's insulting to women, in my opinion, not what's he's done, but how he's portrayed. Another rich privileged person celebrated for being self indulgent. Now, if Carolyn had to go and get a job to support herself and family after the transformation, that takes courage. Jenner is just living a fantasy and she's being treated as if she invented reality.

 

Jenner has apparently been talking about wanting to do this for decades. You don't think doing this under the public microscope takes a type of courage, too?

In Jenner's mind, she was always a woman, but with a man's body. I think she would argue that identity in her mind or heart or however you want to put it is that something you think she is missing. That is the point you don't seem to be getting and it seems you just don't want to try.

 

For me, I couldn't imagine having to feel like I was using the wrong restroom, shopping in the wrong clothing section, pretty much being uncomfortable in your skin for 24/7 for 60 years or so because society/biology had a different idea about who you were and how you should act.

 

I get it. But what made him think he was a woman? It wasn't physiological. Was it some gend r biased stereotype about being a woman?

 

Actually, you don't seem to get it at all. And what makes you assume it isn't psychological? How would it possibly be a stereotype motivating Jenner to undergo such a drastic physical change? You seem to be saying what Jenner claims to have been feeling isn't real, but you don't want to say so.

BART: Are we awake?

JIM: Are we black?

BART: Yes, we are.

JIM: Then we're awake ... but we're very confused.

 

He said "physiological" ... not "psychological" ...

 

Whoops. My bad. That makes a little more sense, but he still isn't even trying to understand why people do this.

 

Yeah, that's the way I'm reading it too. This isn't some fantasy. It's a reality he has been living with his whole life. The fantasy was what led him to work himself into one of the most athletic men on the planet to try to get away from the reality.

 

The reality show is out, and it seems like it might actually have some merit.

Jenner lost his relevancy when he connected with the Kardashians. Oh wait, that was Bruce.
