I met him half a year ago on a sports car event. I talked to him and saw him chit chat with guys. Besides his creepy face he acted manly and didn't seem feminine at all. He knew a lot about cars.
My heart goes out to Bruce. I can't begin to imagine the sort of internal turmoil that drives someone to make this sort of transition. People can joke all they want, but he didn't wake up one morning and on a whim decide to transition. He didn't suddenly decide he likes long hair and nail polish. This is the kind of thing that people struggle all their lives with.
I can remember the Bruce Jenner "jokes" back in the 70s and 80s. I especially can recall listening to Buffalo's WKBW radio around 1980, maybe 1981 when the dj shouted on the air "..THIS ONE IS FOR BRUCIE JENNER..." they then played the Tom Jones tune "She's A Lady". Then there was that Virginia based cooking show "Cookin Cheap" where one of the male hosts had appeared in drag talking in a lisp saying "..just call me Bruce Jenner sweethart". However looking back now I believe all of that was due not so much directly at Bruce Jenner but rather just because his first name was Bruce. Back in those days unfortunately the name Bruce was associated with being gay and/or a man who wanted to be a woman. Bruce jokes were common on the radio and they were used a number of times on the game shows from that era like Match Game and The Hollywood Squares. Even the sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati did a "Bruce Joke". It was different time.
So, when are we "free" to think someone's behavior and choice is whacked?
Would you think us "hateful" and full of ignorance if we were appalled and against Bruce making moves/plans to wed his dog? Something tells me you'd be singing a different tune then!
Look, it's not rocket science! What he is doing is against nature and his DNA.
Certainly he has the "freedom" and "right" to have a screw loose in his head, but that doesn't mean I wish to commend or support him for it.
Certainly I understand it: Bruce is non compos mentis!
I will speak the truth to him. I won't coddle the MAN!
"Bruce, you have a screw loose. You might want to get that treated and/or checked out!"
BTW, I don't think Bruce will ever be or feel free as long as he remains trapped in such psychosis!
oh puuulllleeeaze.... that old chestnut about marrying a dog...... FYI, in case you had not noticed, a dog is not a consenting adult.....
and what exactly do you know about Bruce Jenner's DNA?? No one is sure why trans people ARE transgendered..... just as no one is sure why gay people are gay.... there are theories, yes.... but nothing that has been scientifically proven..... But what IS known is that neither is a choice... just as my having blue eyes and being right handed were not choices for me.....
If you think Bruce, or any other transgendered person, chose to be transgendered, you are the one with a screw loose..... and I certainly hope for his sake that you never get the chance to speak your version of the truth to him.... something tells me it would be hateful and hurtful and totally pointless.......

No, a MTW transgender can be attracted to women throughout her life..... just once she transitions, she is now a lesbian.....

I have several transgendered friends and you're right, no one can imagine what they go through both mentally, with themselves, and emotionally, from society and often, their own families....
An acute or chronic mental state marked by loss of contact with reality, disorganized speech and behavior, and often by hallucinations or delusions, seen in certain mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia, and other medical disorders.
Hostile to or disruptive of the established social order; marked by or engaging in behavior that violates accepted mores. gangs engaging in vandalism and other antisocial behavior.
Antagonistic toward or disrespectful of others; rude.
I have not seen any of these things in any of my friends.... or any of their other friends..... although I do see hints of the the third definition of antisocial in your posts on this subject.....
sorry if you feel manipulated and shamed.... that was not my intent.... my intent was to enlighten, but apparently, that is not possible in this case....
