MTV: Bruce Jenner Changing his Gender as Brave as Veterans
Pundit Press ^ | 6/5/15 | Aurelius

Posted on 06/05/2015 5:46:15 PM PDT by rightistight

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."

He isn’t changing his gender. He’s a cross dressing loon.

MTV was at the forefront of gender derangement indoctrination with their “reality” shows featuring homosexuals.

This is good. Seriously. People need this in their faces so they understand the evil of liberalism.

Sick, just sick. I watched Noah on DWTS and he was great. Then when he proposed to his girl friend I thought that nailed it. Now the MSM is all giggly over Jenner? Totally sick.

They are comparing cutting off your own Penis to being WIA

WTF!?!!?

Then I saw on twitter some Pot Smoking Blonde from California go on a rant that "IF YOU SEVERE IN THE MILITARY YOU ARE PROTECTION FREEDOM AND PEACE" in relation to this Bruce Jenner stuff.

I wanted to Tweet back that Jenner came out as a Repub too, but I was so Angry I lost my will to do that.

Well, if Bruce went to Afghanistan, I am sure they would wack off his shvantz and then he could be even more of a hero.

The apparatchiks who control the discourse now surely understand the distinction between self indulgence and and self sacrifice - and that is why they conflate the two.

Kyle Carpenter - Courage.
Jenner - Self ratification.

40% of transgender people will attempt suicide because being transgender is a mental illness and changing ones physical appearance only feeds the mental illness, it doesn’t treat it.

I don’t think falling as much as being pushed over a cliff.

MTV is the official homo network of cable TV. I haven’t stopped on it in years.

Noah Galloway is brave.

He is, in fact, a true hero and role model, even for someone my age.

Bruce Jenner, in my mind, is mentally ill and a narcissist.

I am not going to celebrate his insanity at all.
