Thing that bothers me about this all this attention the media is giving him. It's really disgusting to. Soldiers come home from war and the media could care less.
A kid fighting for his life due to illness is brave. A woman who finally leaves her spouse after years of abuse is brave. Not Jenner. Agreed. I think there is a case to be made that Jenner can be a hero and looked up to in the transgender community. But not in general. There are better things worthy of our time and attention. You couldn't get away from this story. You could live under a rock and somehow the news would still reach you

Great article http://thefederalist.com/2015/06/04/why-bruce-jenner-can-never-be-a-woman/"Transgendering is inherently sexist because it reduces people to the most shallow aspects of our sexuality and completely ignores our development as men and women."
Should probably ask Mr. Kierney. I guess if you're Italian, you should be in prison. I've read the RICO Act, and I can tell you it's more appropriate... for some of those guys over in Washington than it is for me or any of my fellas here

I don't believe that people should apologize for existing.
Some of you have expressed animosity towards towards the growing trend in America(and the West) to stigmatize White men, just for existing.That just by the fact that you are alive and breathing, that you are directly to blame for most of the worlds "isms"...racism, sexism,etc.
I've had discussions in real life with people for years where I expressed my feelings about people wanting me to apologize for BREATHING. Like I am personally responsible for every crime that ever took place and that I cannot move freely within society . I was told to stop playing the victim card, and I kid you not...many of these same folks are now expressing some of the same stuff I used to say. That they are made to feel directly responsible for female victims they never violated, Africans that they never enslaved, murdering people in death camps in Europe, or oppressing people that they never even met.That they must somehow apologize for living as a white male in America(or the West).
I've always said that unless or until something happens to you , it's VERY easy to dismiss it or trivialize it.
I said all that to say that whoever and whatever a person is, they shouldn't have to apologize for living and breathing air. Jenner and some real life people are being open and honest about who they are.I don't have to care, empathize with them, or accept it...but this is still America and they shouldn't have to apologize for being who they are.

that's a good statement nicky, but, these freaks keep it up, and keep it up, not caring who they offend, constantly throwing their perversions in peoples faces. it's like two gay punks kissing in a public place, and saying they have a right to do it in front of people. they are wrong -its offensive to people like myself who are not gay, and what about children seeing their sick display. these people have got to be told that there are people in the world who find them sick and vulgar.

Good posts Gets, however there is a difference...black/white people (men specifically if you like) are who they are and whatever their feelings about how they are judged, we all either accept it, or do our bit to change wider perceptions. The difference with transgender is that, in my opinion, the individual expects others to entertain their fantasy...or else-it's simply not true that they are what they say they are. I find that extremely offensive-if I suddenly said my dog was a cat and demanded you always treat it that way, then threatened legal action against you if you refused to accept my lies, how would you feel? Especially if I COULD actually win the lawsuit...it's life imatating the old fable "the emporer's new clothes". It's not about live and let live, societies are slowly becoming more and more fucked up because of individuals thinking they are oppressed and subsequently being given a platform they never deserved to spout their threatening message of equality. I've said before, any race or gender etc who has REALLY suffered serious inequality, genocide, intolerance surely can't sympathize with transgender people-especially considering they'd have you believe theyve suffered just as much and expect the same level of airtime.

If two people of the same sex decide to kiss on public property you (not you individualy Binnie) have no right to say yet can't. They have every right to express themselves as if they were a straight couple, regardless if you feel ot is moral or not great post fergie, I hope you saw mine, im sick of people who threaten someone with legal action because they refuse them service. because they are gay, or transgender. a business should have the right to turn away whomever they want.
a private business is private,and should stay that way. 100% right, private business should be able to serve who they want without any fear of lawsuit. Freedom= Do what yo want w/o limitation i.e to serve or not serve who you want).

Well said. I would also add how it funny that if a person is anorexic, based on an incorrect and faulty image of themselves, they are diagnosed as sick and everyone agrees they should get treatment. And yet, if a person has an incorrect and faulty image about what gender they really are, they are encouraged to indulge it and lauded for doing so. The sickness and hypocrisy of the liberal mindset.
Mods should mind their own business and leave poster's profile signatures alone.

What bothers me the most about this is that it's consistently shoved down our throat that transgenderism should be considered "normal" behavior. And that anyone who thinks otherwise and has a different opinion on topics like this should be labeled a socially maladjusted degenerate.
You can't believe how much shit I get from a large amount of my peers when I openly state that I find there's something terribly wrong with transgenderism. Shit I find homosexual behavior pretty distasteful -without pointing my finger at the persons as INDIVIDUALS (I have met some gay men that as persons were alright), it's just the act I find distasteful- so I'm not going to lie and pretend I find there's anything normal with transsexualism because I find that ten times as worse. And if those people have the right to express themselves in their homosexual/transsexual/whatever way in public, I feel I have the right to express my opinion about it. Doesn't matter how negative that opinion might sound to a lot of people, it still is my opinion and I have every right to express that. Because everytime I see obvious transsexuals parading down the street in a major city -and yes also here in Europe in any major city there are plenty of obvious transsexuals and crossdressers walking around- my stomach turns at the sight of it. I'm not going to be violent against them, but it's just the sight of it that I find so distasteful that I can't help being disgusted.
But whenever I openly state outside of my own social circle (which is mostly composed of people who share my opinion on this matter) that I find transsexuals quite distasteful, I'm immediately labeled a sociopath. And that bothers me. Because transsexuals, who not in any way, shape or form practice what I call standard behavior are described as "normal". But I, as someone who expresses his own honest personal opinion on that matter -and I feel I do have the right to express my own fucking opinion as long as I'm not getting violent- on the other hand am considered "abnormal".
I know transgenders can't help the way they are. It's their nature. I get that. All well and good. But at the same time, I can't help my churning stomach either now can I?

I think a majority of people can agree that genital mutilation (gender reassignment surgery) is far from normal that is certainly not something I support because you are how "God" made you and that shouldn't be changed.
You can be okay with people doing what they want, as long as they don't interfere on your own life, you don't have to agree with the lifestyle. The idea of accepting someone's life choices without having to agree with lifestyle shouldn't be that hard of a concept to grasp. It is really nobody's business what an individual does, the problem is constantly shoving it in peoples faces trying to force people who have different views to accept it as "normal," which is certainly an understandable gripe people have, on both sides.
SJW are the worst, they generally are "Socialists" who say that they believe in free speech unless it is against what they believe, that is not free speech. Unfortunately you find intolerance of other views/opinions on both sides of the spectrum though.
