Caitlyn Jenner: ‘I Get More Flak For Being Conservative Than Being Transgender’

Caitlyn Jenner said he catches more hell for his conservative views than for transitioning into a woman.

Speaking to a group of students at the University of Pennsylvania Wednesday, the 66-year-old said he's constantly criticized for his conservative views.

'I have gotten more flak for being a conservative Republican than I have for being trans,' Jenner said when a student asked why he wasn’t a Democrat.

After Jenner told Diane Sawyer that he was, 'for all intents and purposes,' a woman in April, he confirmed that he’s been a lifelong conservative.

'I've always been more on the conservative side,' Jenner told Sawyer.

Why do you believe that your comment is worthy of FR?

Why do you engage in selective indignation? Napscoordinator was only responding to the snark insult against Trump made by SteveCMD at post #6.

The more that I read FR the more discouraged I become. Posters are hitting new lows in discourse that benefits no one.

If the Trump-hating masses would back it off a notch, you might see an increase in civility.

Meanwhile the Cruzers are going to receive proportional and appropriate responses to their attacks on Trump.

Happy to help.

I’ve heard it said by gays who lean more conservative, that it’s easier to come out as a gay person than it is to come out as a conservative.

I know a couple of "conservative" gays that say the same thing. "Other than being gay", they are conservative. They even believe that gay marriage was a meaningless battle that was meant more to hurt religious conservatives than it was meant to help gays.

But yet gays are so “Tolerant.”

Because throwing mud is so adult, right? Johnny did it first!

I asked the correct question. You should have read naps post that was removed on another thread. Discourse has become hateful. This used to be a thoughtful place with reasoned arguments until emotion took over. And there's all kinds of excuses for it but the bottom line is an emotional lack of self-control.

You have a lovely day. I'm taking my fever and going back to bed.

Bruce, Bruce, Bruce. You’re done. Nobody cares about your body parts and your messed up mind. Conservative, liberal, man, woman, whatever. You made some money and got your face on television for awhile. Go find your man pants, put them back on and quit playing like you’re a girl. Hopefully you haven’t been castrated, but if you have, oh well. Stupid is as stupid does.

[Moonman62]

I can believe it. There are also gays against gay marriage.

[getitright]

So a body and mind disagree as to gender, and we belive it’s the body that’s wrong?

That just gives double the evidence that it’s the mind that is twisted.

Bring reality to the White House!


Reality TV, that is.

But yet gays are so “Tolerant.”

Too many shadows, whispering voices
Faces on posters, too many choices
If, when, why, what?
How much have you got?
Have you got it, do you get it, if so, how often?
And which do you choose, a hard or soft option?

I definitely believe that he gets more hate for being conservative.

[mkjessup]

Hope your fever gets better, also your selective indignation and that case of premature exasperation.

ps: has he/she/it chopped it off yet?

What happens to it after they chop it off? Does it get used for a transplant operation? (I heard a US soldier who was caught in an explosion is getting a penis transplant)

I hear a major hamburger franchise buys them all up...?

Maybe it'll end up as a breakfast sausage. Bring a new meaning to the phrase "The Breakfast of Champions".

[faithhopecharity]

but if he’s had it chopped off,
then maybe I could have it installed here?

“Prettiest sexiest girls ONLY need apply! Get sc***ed by an Olympic Gold Medal d***! Text your picture to 555-6969”

smile,
you know, this is just a good way of pointing out how RIDICULOUS most of this funny-sex stuff has gotten! Its sick yes, but its also FUNNY .. very very funny! ha!

I've heard it said by gays who lean more conservative, that it's easier to come out as a gay person than it is to come out as a conservative.

I wonder if that opens their traditionally liberal eyes to how truly un-diverse their fellow libs are.

[baltimorepoet]

How about the idea of “multiple” genders I’ve heard tossed around?

In that case, maybe I’ll have transgender surgery to become a “double male”. Then I can have two of ‘em.

You are right, the whole thing is silly.

[Zack Attack]

I have gotten more flak for being a conservative Republican than I have for being trans

I think that is more a statement that speaks to the people he surrounds himself with. Want more criticism the other way around? Hang around with conservatives.

Many people have a worldview that wealth is owned and held by the government...and it metes it out as it sees fit. They even believe that the government could merely release more wealth to the sheeple, and we’d all be well off. I liken this to the cartoon character Scrooge McDuck, who had a vault full of gold that he refused to share with anyone.

People with this worldview believe that republicans are the Scrooge McDucks of the world, while the democrats are trying to get more out of his vault. If they happen to stumble upon wealth themselves, it seems natural (and even obvious to them) that they switch sides.

IOW, some leftists who manage to get rich believe their own hype enough to conclude that since rich people are republican, they must switch to the GOP.
