More recently, the actress Alice Eve got into trouble for stating the obvious fact that Bruce Jenner is not a woman. She, too, was forced to recant, concluding: “I felt confused and now I feel enlightened and like I know what education I need to move forward.” What gives this a creepy totalitarian feel is the way she found it necessary, not only to change her views, but to express gratitude for her re-education.

George Orwell predicted today's totalitarian socialist strategies, basing his novels on the totalitarian socialists of his time:
“Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark mustache . . . But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother”
Calling Bruce Jenner a woman is like calling gay "marriage" marriage. Jenner wishes he were a woman and he's doing an extreme makeover to approximate his goal, but he's never going to
be a woman, except in newspeak.
Brings to mind Abe Lincoln's joke:
Q: If you call its tail a leg, then how many legs does a dog have?
A: Four. Calling it a leg does not mean it is one.
