Bruce Jenner Interview — Page 7

Lady Bunnie is not above reproach.

I guess I don't get the joke with the cereal box? I guess it's nice that it brings drag queens and rednecks together to laugh at someone.

You find a fruity filling?

Also, I just wanted to say that I know many a person who have gone through gender identity confusion and eventual clarity, and it is WAY different than sexuality. They are two totally separate things and I think it is unfair to group them together. Yes, she remains an enormous doucebag, but if someone who is not particularly a good person creates necessary social change and helps possibly thousands of confused people out there, is it really fair to focus on her being personally terrible? We're talking about the greater good here.

Did Caitlyn Jenner actually vote on that issue? And do you know how she voted? Just wondering how anyone knows this.

Yea, during the interview she made her views very clear.

But I still think that whatever her views, her public transitioning has to be a positive for young people struggling with identity issues.

If someone states their political party, does that mean they agree with and voted for every single issue you hear about that party?

I refuse to be labeled anything. Sometimes I vote Democrat, and sometimes Republican. I voted Dem. in the first Obama election but I don't agree with all their points, and the same with Rep. I'm independent.

Actually, Jane, you are registered as an Independent. But that doesn't necessarily describe your 'political philosophy.' Based on what you said, Centrist would actually be the most accurate way of describing your political leanings. But be-careful... FindingNamo doesn't believe there can be such a thing as an Independent Centrist; someone who only votes on the individual issues and not on party lines.

She's like those damn log cabin republitards. It's about the money and money trumps your basic civil rights. And that's why I have absolutely no respect for him or now her. I can respect someones right to want to transition but I absolutely do NOT have to respect Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner, a reality TV whore, who before this was nothing but that guy who used to be amazing but was now responsible for spawning the Kardashians and unleashing them into this world for us to have to endure.

There are so many amazing trans people out there working hard to make sure others are protected in this country and making sure others around the world aren't killed and Caitlyn is now out there voting to make sure people stay in power who will do everything they can to see that not happen. So yeah, he and she are "Fruity Pebbles" because he and now she is one of the people who sees the almighty dollar above anything else, even when it comes her own personal liberties.

ok guys, I of course understand where you're coming from.

Namo, I'm not ashamed to state my political leanings. I could never stand for every single thing that one party stands for. There are important issues on both sides. I usually have to weigh their importance to me each election.

Exactly. So I'm sick of every LGBT person celebrating Bruce/Caitlyn/Her.

"That's how I feel. You can support her choice to transition without supporting her politics, which is why the Fruity Pebbles thing makes me uncomfortable. Take issue with her politics all you want, but leave comments on her gender out of it. "

Thank you for this- along with Laverne Cox's post, this pretty well articulates how I feel. I don't agree with Jenner's politics at all, and I don't think her experiences are representative of the vast majority of trans experiences, but still, comments that make light or fun of her transition don't really sit right with me.

I can't judge whether Jenner is now or ever was self-hating, although he seemed to say in the Sawyer interview that he was tortured by his conflict for his whole life.

I guess I hope there is a political transition as well, but who knows, she could become the Republican House Trans, the one rich white person who proves the Republicans have one of their best friends who is trans.
