It's not really. Brad was using the pronouns that Caitlyn identifies with. Props to Brad.

Quote:As an Olympic champion he's probably use to having all the attention. That attention was stolen by all the divas in his family. Thus the only opinion, cut off your dick and become a diva yourself

That's a bad theory, especially considering that trans people tend to realize that they identify with the opposite sex when they are young. As she said in her interview with Diane Sawyer, she knew at a young age and even told one of her previous wives.

Quote:I feel like my response may be offensive to those on the left. I apologize. I do not know how to honestly respond to this without being offensive. The situation actually offends me as it does many Americas that feel as if they are bullied into silence because their views on this garbage are not welcome

Part of it was offensive to many people, not just those on the Left. Neither Caitlyn Jenner nor myself consider ourselves Democrats or Liberal. I would say the first thing you can do is use the right pronouns. Gender norms are a social construct, not biological, so if someone wants to identify as that gender then they have the right to. It would be respectful to use the correct pronouns. The other things would be not calling it "garbage". It isn't your life, so how she lives shouldn't bother you, especially since she's not harming anyone. If you're upset that others are telling you to not be a jerk then don't be a jerk. I try to live my life that way: don't be a jerk.

It is your right to be a jerk, though. Just remember, it's our right to use social sanctions against you when you are a jerk.
