I agree with the level of outrage. Caitlyn (formerly Bruce) took coming out as a very serious, if public event. Making fun/light of the situation, whether you agree with Caitlyn's lifestyle choice or not, seems to be in poor taste. Not to mention that it is demeaning and insulting to others who are going through this experience.
Are you kidding me? CaitlynBruce Jenner is a complete media *****. He/she loves every second of the attention because
A) it lines hisher pockets
B) heshe wants to stay in the limelight and not let Kim K be the only one in that family people talk about.
C) Shehe loves, loves, loves having a camera in hisher face.
If its going to happen (and I"m not advocating banning anything), then, I agree, that may be the best we can get out of this. Still, talking to your children about this as a teaching moment works towards, in my view, the same thing that people outraged about the matter now are working towards: trying to change hearts/minds to where doing something like this is not viewed as OK.
Trying to explain to a child why a man suddenly wants to be a woman is going to cause more confusion than it clears up.
Maybe if Heshe didn't have a camera at hisher disposal 24/7, this wouldn't be an issue for you.
"Normal" is un-PC. There is no normal. This indicates there is a right way to live life and everyone else is insulted by that.
Look, I support gays and lesbians. I support trans people. I think Caitlyn's brave, to be true to herself when she's famous and probably knew she would get so much criticism and have so many cruel things said about her, and I think she's right when she says we need to draw attention to the problems that trans and even homosexual people face, still being largely unaccepted in society. People need to get over the fact that some others are attracted to the same sex or feel they were born in the wrong body. But to start using terms like "cisgender"... you must be kidding. Gay and trans people are small minorities. Why cater to small minorities by changing the "name" of everybody else just to be PC? It's stupid.
