New York Post: Sports Illustrated’s Caitlyn Jenner Cover Is An Act of Desperation
New York Post ^ | May 5, 2016 | 3:01pm | Kirsten Fleming

Sports Illustrated is throwing all of the laws out of the window and reportedly splashing a nearly nude 66-year-old woman across its cover to sell some magazines. So why is this prestigious sports publication banking on a nekked senior citizen to deliver the dollars and the buzz? If that imagery was such a slam-dunk, AARP would have built a franchise off the bare wrinkly bums of retirement-village-dwelling women across this great land.

The short answer is that this isn’t just any 66-year-old woman — it’s transgender activist and athlete Caitlyn Jenner, who will reportedly grace a summer cover in nothing but the American flag and the gold medal she won as Bruce Jenner in the 1976 Olympics.

Since transitioning from male to female, Jenner’s had an insatiable appetite for attention — something the media, including E!, is more than happy to feed.

And before everyone slaps a transphobic tag on this column, I’d like to clarify one thing: I’ve had a phobia of seeing old people naked since my parents subjected me to repeated viewings of “Cocoon.” Once you’re eligible for Social Security, put on your damn clothes. Yes, Jenner has the benefit of both having been an elite male athlete during most of her life and being fresh from the plastic surgeon’s knife. At a statuesque 6 foot 2, she probably has a better physique than say, my mom, who decades ago converted from Catholicism to Weight Watchers.

But just because something exists doesn’t mean it’s for public consumption. The only time “empowerment” should be attached to a Jenner or Kardashian nude snap is if a college degree emblazoned with the appropriate name is covering up their private parts.

Or he has had a series of small strokes, or developed some other medical problem, resulting in dementia. When he first started exhibiting this bizarre personality change, his family should have insisted on a full medical workup to see if he could be helped. I suspect in this cursed time, this was not done.

And if there is a medical reason for this disturbed behavior and it is treatable, and is treated, Bruce Jennings is going to be a very horrified man when he realizes what he was allowed to do to himself.

This is a tragedy.

When Trump is elected president, I wonder is Jenner will go back to being a man?

The day the verdict came in marked the fall off the cliff, of race relations in this country. And we all know who is responsible.

Maybe being around all those slut Kardashian women warped his mind.

Neither is it as much of “An Act of Desperation . . .” to get attention as is chopping off your dick and balls and adding fake woman parts in place thereof.

Diabolical narcissism. Ann Barnhardt is right. Again.

Well if he’s jealous of the attention they get, he certainly got that.

I would not be surprised if he gets a hold of himself someday....I’ll bet he does everyday.

A man dressed in women's clothing is not a woman.

But this is a man NOT dressed in women's clothing.

A real revelation of the mutilation these tortured souls endure might shed some light on the true depth of their sickness.
