So its official. Bruce Jenner is now a woman. He calls himself Caitlyn.
Cue the social media, social justice warriors delivering the grandiose, unnecessary compliments. Oh shes so brave! Were so proud of you! Caitlyn, youre a hero!
Listen, I dont begrudge Bruce Jenner for wanting to be happy. Everyone wants to be happy. The problem is that with the recent, hyper-aggressive push to normalize transgenderism, well no longer be able to discuss whether some decisions made in the pursuit of happiness are healthful. Because hate speech.
Many people, including many in the gay community, think that transgenderism is a mental condition more effectively treated with psychiatry than surgery. I get where leftists are coming from; this person isnt hurting anybody (aside from themselves), so what difference does it make? On the surface, it seems like a reasonable position to hold. One that quickly falls apart when you begin to examine it more closely.
Apotemnophilia is a fetish in which people wish to become an amputee. They find sexual satisfaction and ultimately, happiness, through the act of the removal of limbs or simulating the removal of limbs. There are websites, message boards and get-togethers devoted exclusively to the activity. As a general rule, society doesnt consider this to be healthful. Some of us may accept it, ignore it and move on with our lives, but we dont praise it or trot apotemnopheliacs out as heroes. And lets be honest most of us think its pretty damn weird.
Now, change that limb to a penis. If you dont accept it, even worse, if you dont praise it, youre deemed hateful. The politically correct lobbyists of the day will take great care in avoiding the staggeringly high suicide rate of transgenders, they will ignore the medical reality that sex change operations and hormone replacement therapies come with a litany of very serious health problems, heck, theyll ignore overall science.
If you choose not to do so, you will be deemed hateful. This is the playbook. Know it, learn it, expect it. Bruce Caitlyn Jenner, will be their poster child.
Something that was discussed on this weeks podcast, and something that I find to be an incredibly interesting point from Milo Yiannopoulous, is that the entire leftist theory on which transgender acceptance is based, forces leftists into a rough juxtaposition to begin with.

See, if its truly possible that a male body can be born with the wrong brain, or that a female body can be born with a male brain it forces the left to concede that gender is not merely a product of societal construct, but biology. If, in order to avoid classifying transgenderism as a psychiatric disorder, were required to recognize the inherent biological, scientifically measurable differences between genders that creates incredible contradictions for feminism, gay rights progress and ultimately, yes, transgenderism.
Send your hate-tweets to @Scrowder and Ill be sure to do very little about them.

Do you accept an apotemnopheliac cutting off their arms, legs? If not, why is there a difference when it comes to a penis?
Yes, but all this publicity is not about nothing.
I agree with you about charity. But even there, much ‘charity’ today is government funded.
So much the worse for what is left of Western Civilization. If western civilization is praising sexual perverts ... you have a choice ... you can object, or you can go along with it.
You, madam, have clearly chosen to side with the perverts. Recognizing that fact is not an example of "argumentum ad hominem" ... it is simply recognizing facts.
To answer your original question of why people are mocking him, I want to acquaint you with a concept of which you may not be familiar. It is called "the Uncanny Valley."
It is a little understood human characteristic of reacting with fear and anger towards anything that tries to mimic normal human behavior, but is obviously not close enough to be believable.
Seeing a man attempting to fool us into thinking he is a woman activates all sorts of natural defense mechanisms in men. There is a deep seated angst against being fooled by people or things pretending to be something that they are not. Instinctively we assume that attempts to fool us are likely an attempt at predation or murder and therefore represent an existential threat to us.
It's just creepy.
We actually agree. Look at my convo here with Diogenes’ Lamp. Someone with Bruce’s dysfunction has no successful treatment. Gender reassignment, with or without genital surgery (which I think is barbaric), is only 50% successful, with “success” being the person’s inner contentment.
We need something better. And I agree that it should not be dropped from the DSM. How dare we say that any dysfunction regarding sex or gender is normal? Dysfunctions can affect ANY of the brain’s functions. That would be terribly wrong.
Yes, indeed, our God who created us gave us the ability to recognize and reject dishonesty. This includes visual dishonesty, such as men pretending to be women, women pretending to be men, two men (or two women) pretending to be 'married', or (in your example) machines pretending to be human. Thank God for the ability to detect and reject dishonesty!
As long as Jenner is going to use his psychosis to be a TV star and say he is normal, and that he intends to “change the world" I will continue to mock him.
And I'm a little pissed off that I read your whole stupid post, btw.
Nice triple negative in that first sentence...
Well, that ain't a whole lot different from what this Crowder punk does.
Figures he's special and clever and smarter than you and ought to be paid for it.
Homeboy needs to get a job.
Makes me wonder if he could already be squatting to pee.
Sorta looks like Julianne Moore.
“Opinion” in the headline should be “Fact” as no amount of chopping will turn XY to XX.
No. He’s not that insane yet.
AKA AKA “Duece Gender”
In the 70s, I thought MASH with Jamie Farr as Klinger was funny and never would be accepted here. I guess I was wrong...
That's a guy dressed up like a sheila!
No Pooftahs!
Caitlyn Jenner is like the mascot for the economy. It can be whatever you say it is!
