Bruce Jenner: I’m A Woman And A Republican

I’m really kinda surprised that many in the media are shocked that Bruce Jenner has stated that he’s a woman. It’s not like there haven’t been numerous stories about him transitioning. The other part is sure to drive liberals nuts

(Breitbart) In an Interview with Diane Sawyer Friday night on ABC, Bruce Jenner ended months of speculation by confirming he is in the process of transitioning into a woman.

“I’ve always been confused about my gender identity,” Jenner tearfully said at the beginning of the two-hour special, which was partially filmed inside of his home.

Then

Among the more surprising revelations, Bruce told his guest he is both a Christian and a Republican. He admitted he has at times been concerned his lifestyle puts him at odds with the Bible–in particular, the book of Deuteronomy, which classifies a man dressing as a woman as sin.

A puzzled Sawyer asked him if he identifies as a Republican, to which Jenner answered, “”Yeah. Is that a bad thing? I believe in the Constitution.”

Here’s the thing: there will certainly be people, a small number, on the right who do not like him because of this. There will be others who disagree with his lifestyle, but will be supportive of Jenner as a person. For most on the right, they won’t really care one way or the other, but, if they meet him, they’d be nice, even in disagreement. Because we understand that the content of character is more important.

You can bet that liberals will despise Jenner for coming out as a Republican. Twitchy features some of those intolerant libs.

    Good for the conservatives who accept Bruce Jenner and shame on those who criticize.

    See the touching essay from ex-wife Linda Thompson.

    Bruce Jenner can have some quack plastic surgeon castrate him and build him a faux vagina, and stick some beast implants in his chest, but he will still never be a woman.

    And you care because..?

    Why so hateful?

  4. Dana says:

    I care because the attempted social normalization of transsexualism is both ridiculous and harmful; we should never attempt to normalize and accept the sick and abnormal.

    The best current estimates for transsexualism is 1 in 30,000 males, and 1 in 100,000 females; anything that scarce is abnormal by definition. Until political correctness stuck, the American Psychiatric Association defined it as a sickness, and they were right then.

    And today? We have all sorts of oh-so-sympathetic quack legislators making special rules for transsexuals, a tiny, tiny minority, rules which are offensive and oppressive to normal people.

  5. Dana says:

    From The Wall Street Journal:

    We at Johns Hopkins University—which in the 1960s was the first American medical center to venture into “sex-reassignment surgery”—launched a study in the 1970s comparing the outcomes of transgendered people who had the surgery with the outcomes of those who did not. Most of the surgically treated patients described themselves as “satisfied” by the results, but their subsequent psycho-social adjustments were no better than those who didn’t have the surgery. And so at Hopkins we stopped doing sex-reassignment surgery, since producing a “satisfied” but still troubled patient seemed an inadequate reason for surgically amputating normal organs.

    Do you consider those with Down’s Syndrome to be sick or abnormal? Do you oppose accommodations for the disabled? How about children with Type 1 diabetes who require insulin for life? Ductus arteriosus?

    How do you handle: persistent Müllerian duct syndrome, 5-alpha-reductase deficiency, androgen insensitivity syndrome, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, progestin-induced virilisation and other physical/endocrine disorders that lead to gender confusion?

    Or is it enough for you just to conclude their all weird and you don’t like it.

    The AMA, American Psychological Association and American Psychiatric Association disagree with you.

    Finally, how in your world do you treat intersex individuals? Attack them? Ridicule them? Discriminate against them? If you were a baker would you refuse to bake them a cake?

    How does your hatred of intersex people manifest itself? I hope it’s enough for you to mock them online.

    Kinda like the way you treat skeptics and anyone who disagrees with your leftist bullshit.
    By the way how’re your grandkids?

    Yes, of course I do: they are sick, and they are abnormal. Such people require treatment, treatment to get better, not an attitude of such sympathy that we can’t recognize that they are ill.

    My wife is a Type II diabetic, and yes, she has to take medication every day, to survive and to be normal; pretending that being a diabetic is just another form of normal, and isn’t an illness is stupid.

    Finally, how in your world do you treat intersex individuals? Attack them? Ridicule them? Discriminate against them? If you were a baker would you refuse to bake them a cake?

    If all they are asking for is a cake because they are hungry, were I a baker, I’d bake them cakes. If they were asking me to bake a cake for a same-sex “wedding,” I would refer them to another baker.

    How does your hatred of intersex people manifest itself? I hope it’s enough for you to mock them online.

    I’d say that I already have. I sympathize with people who are ill, but I say that such people should be treated for their illness, rather than being kooky enough to declare their illnesses normal.

    Since Bruce Jenner and Bradley Manning have already gone public with their disorders, I s’pose it’s OK to discuss them. Both have XY chromosomes, not XX, both were born with penises (penii?) and testicles, both grew up as males, both were socialized as males, both had all of their lives’ experiences as males. Every person they ever encountered reacted to them as they would react to males rather than females. Neither Mr Jenner nor Mr Manning have any real idea what it is to be female because they were never female nor treated as female; at best, they have some weird notions of what males think females should be like, and what the female experience is. (In Mr Jenner’s case, he thinks that the Kardasians are somehow typical women! )

    If I said that I was really a Vulcan, and found some plastic surgeon to give me pointed ears, you’d never be stupid enough — I don’t think that I’m giving you too much credit here — to actually say that I was a Vulcan, no matter how much I really, really believed it.

    “Do you consider those with Down’s Syndrome to be sick or abnormal? Do you oppose accommodations for the disabled? How about children with Type 1 diabetes who require insulin for life?”

    Umm … yes. Down’s Syndrome is a disease. (Assuming we are using the word “disease” here broadly to include harmful genetic abnormalities, as opposed to a technical medical definition.) I consider people with Down’s Syndrome to be sick. Or more accurately, people with Down’s Syndrome ARE sick. It doesn’t matter what I “consider” them to be. My sister had Down’s Syndrome, by the way, and it led to her death at a very young age. I have diabetes. Yes, I am sick.

    BECAUSE I understand that these people are sick, I believe in accommodations for the disabled. If you refuse to admit that Down’s Syndrome is a problem, than logically you would say that there is no need to make any special accommodations for people with Down’s Syndrome. If they’re just normal people like everyone else, why should they need or deserve any special treatment?

    Someone who is depressed because he or she doesn’t like the contents of their chromosomes has a fundamental psychological problem. Cutting off body parts will not solve their problem: genetically they will still be the sex they were born as. They are sick and need help. Assuring a sick person that he is just fine and there is nothing to worry about will not make him well.

    If someone is depressed and wants to commit suicide, a conservative would say that we should try to talk him out of committing suicide and try to find the root causes of his problem. I guess a liberal would say that the way to help him is to hand him a loaded gun because, hey, that’s what he wants.

  12. jay says:

    “How does your hatred of intersex people manifest itself?”

    What a bizarre idea. Because I say that sick people should be given help, you conclude that I hate them? My sister has kidney disease. Would you say that if I love my sister, that therefore I should love her kidney disease? I’d think rather the opposite would be true: That the more I love my sister, the more I would hate her kidney disease.

    Would I bake a cake for a diabetic? If I knew someone was diabetic, and they asked me to bake them a very rich, sugary cake, surely the loving, caring thing to do would be to say, “This sounds like a very bad idea.” Not, “Oh, sure, if that’s what you want, here you go. Would you like me to add some extra cholesterol to that?”

    Thank you for asking! All 6 are doing great. Wonderful children – we couldn’t be more proud.
