My Problem With Caitlyn Jenner Posing Nude For SI - BFritz21 - 05-06-2016 Caitlyin Jenner to pose nude for Sports Illustrated Cover, wearing nothing but an American Flag and her Olympic medal. So she's going to pose for the cover as a woman, holding her Olympic medal she won as a man?! She wants everyone to see her as a woman and says that's what she is, so why would she revert back to something that she's not? I doubt many people will raise this question, but that's not who she is, so why's she doing it? I have a feeling people will say "to prove that women can achieve the same things men can," but she hadn't gone through all the hormone treatments and she didn't have breasts, so it's not the same. Here's the article: Quote:The 66-year-old I Am Cait star (formerly known as Bruce) set a world decathlon record at the 1976 Montreal Summer Games. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of her win, she’ll pose with her gold medal for the first time post-transition, adds the source: “She’s excited about that.” (Her ex-wife Kris appeared topless with a medal during a 2007 photo shoot on Keeping Up With the Kardashians.) She can't have it both ways. RE: My Problem With Caitlyn Jenner Posing Nude For SI - michaelsean - 05-06-2016 Yuck.

Instead I think people will say that not all transgender people are weak, mentally ill losers and, in fact, some of them are strong, successful and beloved national heroes. RE: My Problem With Caitlyn Jenner Posing Nude For SI - GMDino - 05-06-2016 I strongly suggest not buying the issue or looking at it then. ![]() RE: My Problem With Caitlyn Jenner Posing Nude For SI - BmorePat87 - 05-06-2016 Why are so many people who have never won Olympic gold medals trying to suggest that she should no longer have the medals she earned by being one of the best athletes of her time? Should she give up her kids too since she was a man when she had them?

Jenner is no hero, let alone a national one. I'm not saying she is weak or unsuccessful, but she has done SQUAT to be a national hero.

Young and old people fighting wars our government forces them into are heros. Police and firefighters that run INTO danger most of us would run AWAY from are heros. A single parent raising their children right is a hero. A person standing up to discrimination is a hero. An olympic star and American icon coming out like Jenner is a hero to many too afraid to do the same with much less fanfare.

I think some don't see her anymore as one because of her transition. I can say that she isn't seen as a hero for her transitioning by many in the trans community, but I don't think anyone can take away decades of achievements simply because she's trans.

If you're speaking of Jenner being a sports hero, then I wont' argue. But, we all know that people call Jenner a 'hero' for coming out as trans and that just diminishes those that ARE heroes. A rich famous person comes out as trans at a time where society has become more and more "tolerant" isn't exactly what I'd call a hero. Oooooooooooooh, she had to put up with some loudmouths sayiing hurtful and hateful things. So does pretty much EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. Does that make ALL OF US heroes? No. Now, had Jenner come out in a time and place where she would have faced real physical danger, that's a different story. Or if she had to face some mountainous climb to get to the place where she is today, that's a different story. But considering that the only change that happened after she came out is that she became MORE famous, that's not exactly what I would qualify as a hero. Just my opinion, of course.

I personally don't put much stock into sports figures as heroes, but I understand the sentiment. I'm speaking from the thought that she's a hero for being a trans.
