????? How can you call me petty when you're still bitter about something that happened like a year and a half ago that's already been resolved
I direct your bitter ass in this direction good sir |
It's not a 'dislike' button you arrogant slob. Indicating you have a further history of misusing a site feature doesn't make you any less petty for using it as such. If you're going to deliberately misinterpret a post to be as offended (on behalf of another) as possible, fuck off. Post better in general before you start getting defensive for your crappy behavior.

Changing your entire identity in a controversial manner right down to expensive and possibly irreversible surgery is a rather bizarre way of trying to avoid bad press. I don't know when those charges were made but I know there were rumours about Jenner's gender for years before she came out. Hell, I'm not even sure you can get that surgery without a professional diagnosis.

Again, I'm not trying to demean anyone, but it was ridiculously convenient that this huge slice of sympathetic publicity came down on Jenner while s/he was facing manslaughter charges.
I know that the majority of people do not understand why trans people should be sympathized with (and I don't claim to comprehend what it's like to be trans), and please excuse me for going all Hollywood on this, but it's spin. Jenner is wealthy, attached to the valuable Kardashian brand and generally viewed well in the public eye. Vehicular manslaughter charges might mean less money for those brands he's attached to, so his publicist wrote up a 3 year plan to give him some sympathy.
It's absolutely not up to me to say who gets to be 'truly' trans or not, but he kept his Penis. In this particular instance, with all the mumbo jumbo about feeling like a 'whole new person', that is still a man with breasts and some facial reconstruction surgery.
I don't buy it, but that's all. I understand why someone would feel more sympathetic towards Caitlyn Jenner than I do towards Bruce.
I'd be happy to be proven wrong; if this is genuine and
she shows accountability for the murder-by-hummer, that's good! But my instincts tell me this is spin to appeal to public sympathy.
