Why do people care so much what other people do with their bodies?

I don't quite understand it myself but why would I get mad about it?

People need to get a life. Leave her alone if you don't like it.

"I a baboon trapped in a mans body, please respect my identity and call me Oogabooga and don't you dare stop me from expressing myself by walking around nude with my big red tush exposed, bite folks and throw fecal matter as passersby"

That's essentially what "well I was born with a shlong and male chromosomes and named Bruce but in the twilight of life decided that I'm a chick named Caitlyn now call me she and don't be mad when I share the restroom with your daughter" sounds like to me.

My issue is with the wording. I might just be weirded out if he said "well I'm a dude but I am unhappy and would feel happier living my life as a lady" but the fact that "trans testicles" as my 13 year old calls them actually believe that they are truly girls just born with make chromosomes and penis (the very definition of being male) makes me believe they are freaking delusional. Sorry I will always call you sir.

I am having some cognitive dissonance here, I am not really a fan of the Islamic faith at all but I feel at this point my child would likely be better shielded from this insanity in Saudi Arabia, who would've thought that Arabia would be a better place than America to raise kids.

Bruce is gross, and I glow with fatherly pride for the fact my kid isn't a brainwashed ninkompoop who thinks that this is alright, we were at the mall and saw one of these things and my kid said "Dad look at that FREAK. Gross" you shoulda seen the look on its face, scared for its life.


Seriously considering a move to Moscow or Jeddah or at least Dubai. Don't want to go to jail for stopping one of these "ladies" from entering the same lavatory as my mother by kicking them in the fem-balls.

It has nothing to do w "left v right." It has to do with money such as most things with big businesses.

Default Bruce/Caitlyn is a transgender, not a woman

I will never see Jenner as a woman, since this would be an insult to women, and all that women are. As one woman poster from the Connecticut forum put it, there's a great deal more to being a woman, than anything the man Bruce Jenner can do to himself. I don't accept his characterization of himself as a woman, and his insistence that he is a woman is a sign that he's a seriously ill man.

What I do accept is that he's a transgender. Bruce/Caitlyn is yet another member of the transgender community.

If Bruce was always a woman, does that mean all his exs are lesbians?

Also, who ever stated wearing a dress, acting feminine, having feminine names, etc is just for females? If gender is different than sex and neither dependent on each other, than what difference would it make the clothes being worn, hair length, fake breasts, etc? If the sex a person is born with has nothing to do with gender, then why would someone go through the trouble of physically changing parts of their body to be more like the sex their new gender stereotypically identifies with?
Hence the conundrum. The same people that view Bruce as a woman are the people that say gender roles are completely arbitrary and separate from sex. They want their cake and to eat it too.

If a person is born a male but feels like a woman, what does that mean? Does it mean that they feel like they have female genitals? Because if gender roles are completely arbitrary and not important then hormones, genetics and chromosomes are the only differentiating things between a man and a woman.

I also do not understand why the liberal media is so willing to now start calling Bruce Jenner by his new name. Did he legally change it?
More importantly, why are they now calling him a she, when he is biologically a man.

Then again, we have the POTUS reveling in everything non traditional and abnormal with phone calls to the homosexual football player who was drafted and now Jenner. All that stuff should be well above the office of the president, yet he is all to happy to inject himself into things like that and racial issues where blacks are alleged to have been mistreated.
Maybe he will want to give a medal to Jenner because he wants to where a dress and be called a woman.

Welcome to the Judeo-Masonic world. Pope after Pope warned us Westerners of the rising influence of this entity from the 1700s all the way up to Pope Pius XII. But we didn't listen.

The West today is weird, because it's run by demented people.

It is confusing if you think we are our bodies.


The question is are we our bodies or is the body something we inhabit and there is more? I don't have an answer but cases like this make me wonder.
