I definitely said the stuff about dicks and vaginas just to be irksome. I genuinely don't know the anatomical considerations a trans person must face in undergoing gender reassignment.

I keep going back to being judgemental about 'Hollywood spin', but I don't mean to trivialize gender dysphoria. I think that the most reasonable way I can phrase myself, is that Caitlyn Jenner herself emerged out of what all evidence points towards as a case of genuine transexuality, as far as I understand it, which I think it's fairly obvious is less of a fundamental comprehension of what that means than you have. I mean to judge the role that publication of these facts may play in litigation, not the events and feelings that led up to to the publication of these facts, and not because I think it will effect my social or political perspective on Trans people as a whole, but because I am a remorseless gossip who admittedly reads tabloids.

I believe that the public announcement, not the surgery, therapy, and other channels through which sexual reassignment occurs, was a tactic used for the sake of pushing attention away from the vehicular manslaughter. This isn't necessarily for the sake of greed, as I've been implying, but could simply be because Jenner is representative of a devalued group of people and it's better to reflect on the positives than the negatives to avoid toxifying the issue further.

Again, it is neither my position to judge nor in my current knowledge to understand how sexual reassignment works. I simply think it should be acknowledged (somewhat stubbornly) that the two events (those being the crash and the publication and press tour associated with Jenner's 'coming out') coincided in a way that was convenient to galvanize a particular disingenuous sympathy for Caitlyn Jenner that was wholly removed from the fact that, at whatever stage in her life she was, someone died because of her actions.

And uh...you're not implying this, at all, but I do not think that the accident was caused by the fact that Jenner is a woman. Okay, now I'm just being silly.

That being said, I think we're basically agreed on the subject, albeit my position on the media is a pessimistic one and I feel like yours is positive. It is good that she came out, I just think it's too bad she happens to be a murderer.
