Yes, That's pretty obvious that he left his pole behind.

boom

Hey, bigots, have fun laughing and showing your ignorance. This is a

MENTAL HEALTH issue. Bruce is not doing well mentally, and you all like to laugh at it? Have sympathy for the sick, don't mock them. Let's hope he gets the help he needs to put this phase behind him.

How is he sick? How is this making him unable to function in society?

OCD... Bipolar... Paranoid schizophrenia...

These make life very difficult to get though without treatment.

You are just a confused troll who doesn't get that Bruce feels like a woman not a man.

Don't call everything you don't understand mental illness.

He didn't. He just put on a wig.

She's playing for the winning team now.

On his birdie?

The most photoshopped bit is his waistline.

Jenner is older. Probably won't shave the bird.

Poor guy. What a freak. This is simply a severe psychological disorder.

It is a mental illness. Rich people spending lots of money on hormones and surgeries to resemble the opposite sex more. And he is now saying he is asexual. That's what one has to be when you become a transsexual. Because no one is interested in you anymore.

I don't really agree with the concept of gender issues.

Wait … What ?

I think the entire premiss of all gender issues is faulty. It's a cultural issue. All gender issues are based on the idea that there's a set way a man or women is supposed to act and if they break away from their side then they're the other. I think that's ridiculous because there's no set way that a man or a women is supposed to act or look.

Barf. I rather remember him as a gold medalist and a as a man, not as a freak show.

GOOD FOR HER! I don't know what living with being transgender is like but it sure as hell sounds like a nightmare. I'm happy she gets to live her life!! Not many others are as lucky

Please leave the make-believe world and the false pronouns! With utmost respect to Mr. Jenner, tying a feather-duster to a dog's tail does not make it a peacock. I doubt Jenner was anatomically or physiologically ambiguous. The problem is with his thinking, not his body, and now you think poorly, too.

You show no respect for her right to self-identification, but that's a concept inconsistent your cramped worldview, not to mention our present understanding of the complexities of gender identity.

The whole thing is really confusing because we have some friends who have a 7-year-old daughter who insists that she is a boy. She is not a tomboy. She literally tells her parents that she is a boy and doesn't understand why she was made to look like a girl. This has been going on for more than two years at this point.

They have her going to some counseling to figure out what is going on, but otherwise there isn't much else they can do. I feel really, really bad for them.

So had I not had these friends, I would probably dismiss this as a bunch of BS. But I know a little girl who is experiencing this issue and it is really sad.

From a social perspective, I am not sure how we are supposed to handle it. DO we handle it like a sickness? Do we just accept it and let people choose their sex? Can you go back and forth? Isn't gender pretty simple science? You're either have XX or XY, so I have a hard time with the idea of a gender spectrum.

Regardless, this is a thing and I hope we can handle it well as a culture. I am not too concerned with Jenner, but I do worry about the little kids out there that appear to be truly conflicted.

some truth there

but

hey, you try living outside of cultural gender norms - you'll see how tough that is. A man wearing dress and makeup will be mocked openly - what jenner wants is to fit in with gender norms. Can't do that as a man - he thinks he has to convert to a woman to do so.

Classic case of compulsive disorder, attention seeking and money.

Jenner lives life in a screwed up world of attention seeking whores (his family) so the only way to get attention in that situation is to raise the bar. He has also admitted to being manic compulsive at times. Where most people would just play dress up, Jenner has the money to make the absurd happen.

Congrats to him, I think he achieved his goal. I don't really care, if it make him happy, great, he has to live with the decision.

I identify with people in the 17th century. I feel I was born in a body thats in the wrong year. Can I please have the right to change my date of birth on my birth certificate to justify my delusional feelings?
