The current main pop-culture headline involves former Olympian Bruce Jenner transitioning into a woman. Hes on the cover of Vanity Fair as Caitlyn, and hell be receiving the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the 2015 ESPY Awards.
Sadly, a large segment of our culture celebrates that which shouldnt be celebrated. Jenner needs compassion he obviously has a significant mental affliction but he certainly doesnt deserve an award for courage. Theres nothing courageous about a man living as a woman.
On a related note, transgender activists in Canada are now lobbying to abolish gender references from birth certificates.
From the National Post:
The B.C. Human Rights Tribunal has agreed to review complaints filed by the Trans Alliance Society and a handful of transgender and intersex individuals, who argue that doctors should stop assigning the sex of a baby based on a quick inspection of the babys genitals at birth when theres a possibility they may identify under a different gender, or no gender, years later.
Birth certificates (may) give false information about people and characterize them in a way that is actually wrong, that assumes to be right, and causes people actual harm, said Morgane Oger, a transgender woman in Vancouver and chair of the society.
A commenter at LifeSiteNews hit the nail on the head:

Bruce is desperate, so this is HIS end run on the fame and publicity competition in that ‘family’ and in the society
Catilyn is the name of my daughter-in-law and I’m not happy.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression.
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them censorship and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as normal, natural, healthy.
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with social religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a religious crutch.
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of separation of church and state.
Our Supremes: At the heart of liberty is the right to define ones own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life.
Somehow this has morphed into liberty being defined as forcing others to accept or even celebrate your self-definition of these things. In actual fact, true liberty would allow others to reject and mock those whose definitions are in obvious conflict with objective reality.
If there is ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), than Jenner is an example of AWD (Attention Whore Disorder).
Just please...for the love of God...do NOT post that disgusting picture. Thanks in advance.
what’s ‘courageous’ about it? The media will fawn all over him
If he did this in 1950 that would take a little courage
Because back then it would probably have gotten him a serious ass kicking
How any man who fathered 4 children could call himself a woman is beyond me
Why didn’t this guy get an award? I honestly don’t see much difference in what he did. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalking_Cat
I wonder if it and Julie-Annie will be hookin’ up?
Arthur Ashe must be turning over in his grave.
Good lord, what an appropriately ghastly-sounding name.
Well, he’s living in a sewer, right?
Damn media and politics....Why do I have to be part of his damn t5rannie life. It’s sick....period.
He has a mental illness and so do those who support this insanity and they nee to be told this instead of our side always shutting up like cowards.
Courage is doing the right thing in the face of adversity, not altering yourself because you want to be a different gender from what God made you.
(PS, love the AWD comment).
Parents can be named incorrectly, in addition to the difficulties inherent in the common limitation to only two parents, sometimes identified as "mother" and "father" in an offensive and homophobic tradition fraught with microaggression. Even age can be a traumatic concept as the number of years since birth grows and passes through various phases in which the individual is unhappy with the chronological number.
The solution is simple. A birth certificate should not list the baby's name, gender, or date of birth. It should be limited to: "THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT A BIRTH OCCURRED," without even the location, alleged parents, or attending physician. That a birth happened is all that a genuine birth certificate needs to say in our new, more flexible world.
Anything that disrupts normal sexuality is celebrated by the Left.
What easier way to destroy the family than to blur the natural functions and roles of the sexes.
Jenner’s an XY no matter how you “cut it.”
