Jenner has no immediate plans on having the final part of gener reassignment surgery. Supposedly, Jenner likes to be with women using the original equipment. Given the rest of Jenner's metamorphisis, that seems odd to me.

Jenner is a professed Christian, leans politically conservative, and is a Republican.




Wonder how her repuke buddies are dealing with this?

I don't like repukes nor reality TV "stars," but I don't think even they would go through this for publicity.

On the upside, I guess it's some kind of measure o how far we've come that anyone could even entertain that thought.

Edited to add that she is stunning, though.

To keep their names in the spotlight. I wasn't poking fun at trans.

I imagine that you intended it as a joke, but it's grossly offensive, and it cheapens the experience of transgender people everywhere.

I would urge you to delete it out of respect for the community, but I suspect that you won't.


That's a shame.

What you may or may not have intended re: the Kardashians has no bearing on this.

By dismissing Jenner's rebirth as "all a publicity stunt," you insult the entire transgender community and everybody who cares about that community.

You posted an unambiguous insult and, when called out for it, you feign outrage at being caught.

Rather than accusing everyone of failing to understand you, you'd be better off apologizing either for your deliberate insult or your culpably careless wording.

also, please excuse me if I don't feel "called out". Some people just strive to find the negative in everything.

That's one interpretation. It's also possible that they read your blame-shifting explanation and decided that it wasn't worth the effort to try and make you understand your mistake.

please excuse me if I don't feel "called out".
You posted the insult and got indignant when I addressed it, so call it what you will. Whether or not you feel called out means nothing to me.

Some people just strive to find the negative in everything.
I imagine that some people do that. Others recognize an obvious insult and feel inclined to take the insulter to task for it.

So, if you will pardon me, this conversation is closed.
It's unfortunate that you'll come away from this blaming other people for failing to find your insult amusing, but that's on you.

She didn't look anywhere near as stunning in the behind-the-scenes photos I saw. Not that she has to. Although that idealized-body (and face) thing is another discussion......
