I have a sister that is transgender and it really up sets me that a majority of those posting here are doing it out of hatred or think the situation is a joke and is funny. I know my sister is mentally ill when she thinks that she should be a guy but unfortunately society wants to indulge there illness rather then face it. I agree with the statement that there head is wired differently you are right they deserve are compassion but not approval of it being treated as anything other then a mental illness.
Bruce Jenner is flaunting this before the entire world knowing full well the attention..money ...and notoriety he will get by doing so.... The entire Kardashian family offers nothing, does nothing.... but create sensations for human consumption and 'anywhere' they can make money and show themselves..... That is the difference between those who deal with their problem and those who are "flamers".
It is like how in earlier generations, people with Down syndrome or others with intellectual disability were just mocked and abused and people thought that was ok. Same mind set. Sad.
