Caitlyn Jenner was revealed to the world last year in her landmark cover of Vanity Fair. She transitioned from Bruce Jenner, best known for winning a gold medal at the 1976 Summer Olympics and later for being the stepdad on "Keeping up with the Kardashians."
Ian Halperin, the author of the upcoming "Kardashian Dynasty: The Controversial Rise of America's Royal Family," is claiming that several sources have told him that Caitlyn struggled with the transition and considered becoming a man again.
Either she is or is not. If so, none of us are in a position to declare it. If not, then the gender identity she presents warrants respect even if one doesn't like it, just like the respect a principled person affords to clergy.

Respect for crazy? Not going to happen. Some things are not due respect. That is one of them.
No matter how it's presented, the reality is that those who "struggle" with gender issues have a mental problem that needs correction.
They need correction in the form of addressing and treating their problematic and diseased brain, and altered chemistry.
"Halperin really believes that Caitlyn will decided to transition back soon, eventually claiming that it was just too hard to be a woman."
It's hard to be a woman. There's a newsflash And what's with the "religious conversion" therapy? It sounds like Jenner is confused in more ways than one. It must be hard to be her/him.

No one is qualified to determine if someone is "crazy" without professional credentials and without interviewing the person. You can say whatever you want, because you have freedom of speech, but your comments can be condemned as uninformed and disreputably irresponsible.

It is as easily written that those who cannot muster up the personal integrity and control necessary to affirm and promote the worth and dignity of everyone, including those who "struggle with gender issues", "have a mental problem that needs correction". Would you appreciate being tagged that way? If not, then the kind of life lessons that most Americans learn in kindergarten should inform you of the turpitude of the attitude you're presenting.

I'm pretty sure the homeless person I see everyday at lunch playing (a game in which a frog dodges traffic - for some reason that word is censored...lol) on a very busy King Street in Old Town Alexandria is crazy, and I don't need credentials for that. But whatever...

It's not hard for him since he isn't a woman, but yes, I agree. Just think, Bruce is ready to throw in the towel and hasn't even experienced a menstrual cycle or pregnancy! Remember that men!
Next I guess he'll blame it on his hormonal imbalance while holding a sanitary napkin in his hand and becoming the next spokeswoman for Tampex.... and making 'Woman of the Year' award... Please...somebody stop the nausea!
That isn't what I wrote. Read it again:No one is qualified to determine if someone is "crazy" without professional credentials and without interviewing the person.

Oh please, it's not rocket science!
You'd have to have one loose yourself to think his behavior is evidence of a non-diseased and stable mind. I am not buying that you truly believe your own rhetoric.
I think you just want to be a part of the new fad/trend that anything and everything goes. Maybe you struggle with the same mental illness? That would explain a lot. It would explain trying to turn it around and put the focus on someone else.
Perhaps you prefer one of these descriptions of his unstable and bizarre behavior instead:
non compos mentis
bat crazy
screw loose
bonkers
unhinged
cuckoo
loco
gonzo?
It is what it is, and soft soaping only hurts rather than leads to real healing --via addressing cause. Bruce needs an MRI of his brain, a total mental health assessment ( was he a victim of molestation, etc.), etc., etc. He needs Tough Love. He doesn't need further coddling from any community-- whether it be medical or other.

And what's with the "religious conversion" therapy? It sounds like Jenner is confused in more ways than one. It must be hard to be her/him.
