Rachel Paoletta of MTV has a message for you if you don't think Bruce Jenner, who now goes by Caitlyn, isn't brave: she is not only brave, but just as brave as a veteran of war.
She wrote the article, titled Here’s Why You Should Think Before Posting Another Caitlyn Jenner Meme, in response to "memes" about Jenner that, according to Paoletta, spread "transphobia."
She took particular issue with this image:
Paoletta then called the picture "misleading," but did not elaborate how.
Further, she writes that memes like these are taking away from the courage it took Caitlyn to do what she did. How much courage did Jenner have? As much as war veterans, Paoletta writes.
"They suggest that one kind of courage is more valid than another — that a transgender person’s bravery is less than that of a veteran or an athlete," she explains. "When you consider the statistic that 40 percent of transgender people will attempt suicide, Caitlyn’s example of living her truth has the power to give strength to so many who feel alone, trapped or confused."

Ditto Here Skydancer!
Get what I want with my Antenna.
Want anything? Well that is what the Internet is for.
F.R. is my news source, I am literally Two to Three Days ahead of the Local News on somethings.
This is a horrible slap at our military by a disgusting person. B. Jenner has done nothing that takes courage. He is just a weird, mutilated man.
Local/Regional here is worse than MSM. Since I used to work in it I tend to avoid it like Syph since I know what an agenda thing it has become.
I’m sure I miss the occasional good show but I’ll live. Plenty of other things to haZ a fun with.
He actually has a legit mental problem IMO. His backers are merely wannabee hangers on with an agenda using him to further their cause.
Much like strapping a bomb to a child and using them to blow up an infidel gathering and evil JOOOOOZ!. Same mentality, same people.
Exactly - we don’t watch MSM but occasionally we’ll watch local news but then there are several websites for Seattle where we can check on the real stories ...
A lot of channels were just duplicates of other channels. We were watching a football game at a friends house who had a dish network since it wasn’t OTA. They let us in since they were gone - long story short we channel surfed just to see what was there and it was garbage, absolutely nothing.
Bruce came from Miami, F.L.A.
Won the gold for the U.S.A.
Plucked his eyebrows not really gay
Shaved his legs and then he was a she
he says, “Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side.”
Said, “Hey, honey,
Take a walk on the wild side.”
Caitlyn came out as a starling
In the press he was everybody’s darling
But he never lost his head
Even when he was given cred
He says, “Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side.”
They say, “Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side.”
And the President goes
“Doo do doo do doo do do doo...”
He’s a wanna be lesbian woman.
Though I read FR on a daily basis and am on the internet everyday, I somehow missed the memo for “meme.” I have seen that word for the past few months but have no idea what it means.
damn; I remember those drills like it was yesterday.
Took a few years to realize that if I could see the flash, the best option was to just to bend over back wards and kiss my own ass good by.
It is a ploy by a fading celebrity to get more light to shine on him and bucks more money.
Slap her. Slap her hard. And then slap Bruce.
MTV was only interesting in the 80’s when we had Headbanger’s Ball. after they started making TV shows and cancelled rock n roll it became irrelevant. I haven’t watched TV regularly in nearly 20 years.
I wonder what MTV would say if a white person declared that they were changing their race to black.
HOrse shit.,
Take this pathetic, up in a Huey to 3500 feet. Open the sliding door and throw him out.
But he didn’t have that much “courage” He’s still got his cojones.
I agree.
